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
Amen to that
Should not be honored.
Truth
What about it?
^^ I don’t want argument.. I was only showing where it says God in the construction and other documents. Yes I realize it’s a free country and you have the right to choose who you serve. I’m saying CHRISTIANS should stand up for Christian values. Go back and read what I wrote and try to see where I’m coming from instead of attacking!!!
No way
NO… There has ro be limits… The rights in America ahould only apply to natural citizens and those who have became citizens this c**p if allowing every one who comes over their own rights is whats caused such a problem to start with…it has to go this country was founded on christian beliefs and that shoukd be the only one followed.
