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
Kick her off the bench, not fit to rule any case
Let’s clear the air shall we…when I pray for the victims of Islamic Jihad I sure as hell ain’t praying to Allah.
lol
I wonder who that is behind her, and if they are doing the same thing, or if everyone in this court building has done the same thing. that’s a question I would like answered
James why can’t muslims pick and choose which parts of the qu’ran they follow just like christians pick and choose which parts of the bible to follow. There’s enough hypocracy to go around 🙂
Actually if you want to live in a country under ONE religion you want a Theocracy…you should move to Iran.
She needs to swear to GOD. She shouldn’t have been appointed to be a judge as far as I’m concerned.
Let’s see…she’s a an American Citizen, born in NYC, Community Activist (helping kids), daughter of a NYC police officer, and has been a lawyer for several years. She’s much more qualified to be a Judge than you are don’t you think?
So YOUR definition of a Free Country is a country where only christians are allowed to hold public office? How exactly is that freedom, again?
The Quran Does Nothing For You,,, America Does Not Go By The Quran,,, She Is Nothing,,, In America….
