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
I have read the OT, Johnson. Works for me and a zillion others around the world. BRW, Roosevelt was an American patriot although he marched to the beat of his own drum. HUGE difference, pal.
The founding fathers were Christians who fled an oppressive Christian nation. Makes perfect sense. What a bunch of idiots you people are.
If she didn’t take her oath with her hand on a bible, she cannot be sworn in as a judge. That is the law of the U.S.A. She swore to murder all infidels.
F O
Uh, what you advocate is “freedom of Christianity”. This woman swearing in on her book of choice is freedom of religion.
Freedom of religion means you can be whatever religion you want, or none. It doesn’t mean you can be Christian and only Christian.
Booohooo she made my feelings sad, deport her.
Commit suicide.
DISGUSTING
another rag head
Why do you think our Country was the Greatest in the World…..Our Founding Fathers reverenced the Lord God Almighty, God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!! They are now taking The One True God out of our Country and look what we have, total DISASTER!! The koran is a joke, allah was the moon god and mohammad, well we know what he was, repulsive!!!!
Dorothy did she try to cite sharia law when she was a trail attorney…NO…because sharia is not law in this country.
