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.

So basically you want to deport an American Citizen because she exercises her freedom to choose a different god from you. And in a swearing in ceremony where there is NO REQUIREMENT to use a religious text to swear your oath she chooses a book you don’t like. You obviously are just going to believe whatever you want to believe without letting facts get in the way. Good luck with all that.

If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12)
You guys can be Judged by her.
Never understood swearing on the Bible, Quran, etc. I will affirm but I will NEVER swear to God – NEVER!
She swears to jihad. How could that be allowed. The Quran teaches women can be stoned to death. Muslims are not to have anything to do with non Muslims. Those that do not commit to their Allia the must kill.
Women are considered slaves to their men. They believe in Polygamy. All against American laws.
Oh that’s right…I forgot the Old Testament doesn’t count because….Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
This should never be allowed!
What a joke
it becomes void.
Yes she did! As far as I’m concerned, She is NOT Sworn In! She must use God’s BIBLE!
