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
Erm,.,then why was it fashioned with/from Christian beliefs, etc? In GOD we trust. Amen!
….. Wut?
Brad cant help but act like a dick
Im afraid were gonna have to go to war to get this country back on track and sharia out cause not even the republican can fix them being on the bench or them voting them self into office
“In God we trust” was only adopted as the nation’s motto in 1956, replacing “E plurbus unum”.
Why are you on a site called truth and action when you live a lie?
Yup she did
Both Holy books teach peace and justice .. no matter on which she puts the hand .. stop it!

No. Jacob Sloniger you dont know the Bible, your heart is in darkness.. if you know it in spirit, you wont equalize it to their book which is mostly altered from the old testament. We have the New testament that teaches us the Newest Law. JESUS LIFE. Not moses law, not barbaric law. Good luck with your blind atheism. It is your way, your life, your future after you death.
