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
She should NEVER have been allowed to do this , don’t care what her religion is, this is America & we swear on the Bible .
Disgusting
Why is she on the bench?
And Islam was banned in the United States in 1952.
We are not to have 2 separate courts or laws.
We are not Arabs !
Umar Ameen do not insult the God of the Holy bible with Allah of the Quran, this country was absolutely not founded on the Quran… you have the wrong God and the wrong country.
We are not Arabs and this is not a Arab country !
Using toilet paper to take an oath ??
Sickening.
Brad islam banned in 1952 , do you see allah on our paper money now or at any time in history ?
Your defence of the Quran would say your sympathy is with the enemy.
Doesn’t it say you are entitled to a trial, by your peers? Well no Muslim is my peer so this judge can kiss my
A$$.
Javier Gonzalez… are you stating what you think is if people in this country follow islam is ok as long as they don’t mess with someone’s rights… islam gives no one a right to believe in any other God but allah , you submit to allah or you die… Yea you really are informed !!!!
