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.

Don. Yes. Some where deist which is a vast difference from todays cults of atheism, naturalism and secular humanism. Most believed in the biblical God and in Judea/Christian ethics. They left quotes behind to prove their foundational beliefs – Believe in God and that our unalienable rights come from our Creator means our rights as intended by the founding fathers do not come from man but from God. Meaning, 51% of the vote cannot take away the other 49% of the peoples unalienable rights. –
Slavery? Yes. The mass culture of that day and age outside of the Abolutionist. And putting aside that George Washington did free his slaves these “slave owners” put in place a system that allowed the first half black POTUS to be elected to the Whitehouse. – Also, African tribes were enslaving other African slaves long before Europeans showed up. And, the first documented slave owner in “America” was a black man. There were also thousands upon thousands of black slave owners in the south. Also, the Ottoman Empire (Islam) took more white slaves out of Europe than were ever brought to America and were still doing so decades after the slaves were freed in America. – Thomas Sowell
It sounds like you have issues with God. And thankfully He has done for us what we cannot do for ourselves at great sacrifice to Himself and His Son. Your denial of accountability? Intellectual dishonesty.
“Irrational?” Please. Be informed. The vast, vast number of terrorist incidents in the world are done by Islam in the name of their dead, murderous prophet. THEY are the ones beheading men, woman and children. THEY are the ones burning people alive. THEY are the ones throwing gays off roofs. THEY are the ones raping and crucifying woman and girls and turning others into sex slaves. They are the ones drowning people in submerged cages. – Have you studied Islam, Muhammad or the Quaran? I have. Any “peaceful” verses have been abrogated by the later violent verses. Study Islam even a little past and present and you will discover that they are a death cult with intended political ideology.
Facilitating your own countrys demise in the name of psuedo multiculturalism does NOT an “enlightened” person make. Nor does accusing someone of the very things you are guilty of.

Heidi Murdock SHE IS A USA RESIDENT, and a NATURAL CITIZEN. She also has been lawyer, enforcing the law of the land for years. There is no law that states you have to take your oath on a bible….none. It is at the discretion of the person taking the oath.
Teddy Roosevelt refused to be sworn in on the bible…he was still a president, right?
