Was John Randolph’s Koran any different? Some moderns have argued he was Islamic because he owned a Koran.

I don't think Randolph actually was a Muslim. In his youth, he did have a fascination with Islam because he thought Christianity was for weaklings. He wasn't a very big fan of humility. But there's no evidence that he acted on his interest in Islam, and in later life he was considered a Christian.

A quote from him might be useful in other ways:

Sir we live under a government of a peculiar structure to which the doctrines of the European writers on civil polity do not apply, and when gentlemen get up and quote Vattel as applicable to the powers of the Constitution of the United States I should as soon have expected them to quote Aristotle or the Koran. Our Government is not like the consolidated monarchies of the old world.

Not a fan of Vattel.
