I have eyes and ears. Feel free to keep apologizing for Islam though.

I would prefer he value the traditions of the country he is to serve. And where do you draw the line? Would you be arguing this position if a member of the KKK was elected and decided to swear on "Mien Kamph"? Of course you wouldn't. But because we live in a time of political correctness you're willing to allow the traditions of this country to be subverted based on the ideology of one person.

Oh and it's not "narrow-minded" to call a spade a spade.

Varus

I've no problem calling a spade a spade. However, I do have a problem with not allowing someone to practice their religion in this land. Why do you think our forefathers came here in the first place???? By using the Koran, he is following the traditions of this country, one of which is freedom of religion.

Are you so narrow-minded to believe that only Christians will be in Heaven? I'm not. I can totally respect someone's right to worship through any religion they see fit. As Queen Elizabeth once said, "As for religion... Henceforce, all services will be conducted, not in Latin, but English, starting with my Coronation. How can my people understand the power of prayer unless they first understand its meaning? If they are to accept the Protestant faith, it must be through persuasion, not purges. Let the Catholics keep their crucifixes and robes, if they wish. There is but one Jesus Christ. The rest is trifles." Or as my former pastor was fond of saying, "All religious tags will either fly off on the way to Heaven or burn off on the way to Hell."
When the KKK becomes a religion and the people elect a practicing member, I would say that they would have every right to use whatever religious book they choose for the swearing in.
