When Thomas Jefferson obtained a Koran (spelled Quran by the pretentious set) he was looking to see what it was all about. Before he became President, Jefferson was an ambassador along with John Adams. America at that time, was beset by some Islamic radicals your history books sometimes refer to as the Barbary Coast pirates.
They met with an ambassador from Tripoli and this polite chap informed them:
“That’s what we do. We are commanded to do so by Allah.” Jefferson later wrote that the Tripoli ambassador told him, “It was written in their Koran that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman (Muslim) who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to Paradise.”
Things were so much different then.
Speed up this hyper-enlightened post 9/11 era and we can’t get enough of officials getting sworn in on a book that Jefferson once obtained to learn about extremists murdering our sailors.
Rep. Keith Ellison was sworn in on Jefferson’s own Koran, as if this was some latent dream of the Founding Fathers. Most well read people were in on the joke and understood the moxy Rep. Ellison was showing by swearing in on the one book that was used to craft our defense of the first American attacks from Jihadists.
No one knew better except a few Glenn beck listeners and who cares anyway? The Koran is just like the Bible, etc…
Now we have an actual judge showcased just to provoke a reaction.
See page two for the Koran swearing judge
What has America become ??
Ok now this world’s lost its mind…….u can’t live among these people. ..a judge..really in America. .wow……..thanks to all the dip shits who voted for Muslim president Obama. ..America is in the shitter..
Disgusting any muslim could be a judge only from obama
Not a American!!!
Carol you do know that judges are supposed to upholds laws and the constitution right? A christian judge doesn’t use the bible as their law book any more than a muslim judge uses the qu’ran. That’s not really how the legal system works.
If you want a country where religion is the law, try a Theocracy like Iran….not a country with freedom of religion like the US.
Freedom of Religion, Maybe?
Carlie Babb the bible does teaches voilence too and this are my proofs if tuely u are a christian and u have a bible. IN THE BIBLE Kill People Who Don’t Listen to Priests (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT) Kill Witches (Exodus 22:17 NAB) Kill Homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13 NAB) Kill Fortunetellers (Leviticus 20:27 NAB) Death for Hitting Dad (Exodus 21:15 NAB) Death for Cursing Parents (Proverbs 20:20 NAB) (Leviticus 20:9 NLT) Death for Adultery (Leviticus 20:10 NLT) Death to Followers of Other Religions (Exodus 22:19 NAB) (Numbers 25:1-9 NLT) Kill Nonbelievers (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB) Kill False Prophets (Zechariah 13:3 NAB) Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT) Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
And btw Carlie Babb both books have lots and lots of things in common so quit saying “(My religion is the best)” cos it will take the convo no where
There goes the neighborhood !
She should be disqualified. Will she be using sharia law as well?
