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 am not the Judge, God is!!
Liberalism allows this to happen
Do Jewish judges get to swear on the Torah, no. I’m so sick of Muslims getting special treatment while the rest of the Judeo-Christian world is forced tolerance on their behalf.
Really, the point is that they are not supposed to swear on the
Quaran when they are elected to office unless you go against the constitution. But hey why follow the laws of America, do your own thing right. No respect for America.
Jason considering she is the daughter of a NYC Cop and has been a attorney all her life I would say that her and her family have done a pretty good job upholding the laws of this country.

Matthew while I sincerely appreciate your service…weren’t you fighting for FREEDOM? Freedom includes freedom of religion and means that christians, muslims, jews, atheists should all be able to publicly serve their community/country if they choose to hold public office….doesn’t it? Isn’t that freedom….or does freedom mean people are only allowed to agree with you?
How is this special treatment?
