Keith Ellison will be taking his oath of office on the koran. The very same book that prohibits Muslims from swearing allegiance to anything but allah. This same book that is used today by Islam in pursuing world domination and jihad.
I take issue with this. Ellison can opt out of swearing on the Bible, but to replace it with the koran is absurd. Our country was not founded upon Islamic law or intervention. While we respect their right to religious freedom, we do not replace our customs with theirs.
And before anyone gets their knickers in a knot by indignantly claiming the Bible is also violent, let me remind those that no one has been stoned per OldTestament laws in, say, at least a thousand years or more. No heads have rolled due to any Levitical verses. No children have been killed for rebellion. However, stonings, beheadings, amputations, and mutilations are presently normal and customary within Islam.
Just five years after 9/11 to have a member of Congress place his hand on the same book that motivated the horrendous attacks on the U.S. is incomphrehensible to me.
