Is going to Use Tommy Jeff’s copy of the Qu’ran to take his oath of office.
Yes, that’s right, you ignorant lout. You do that.
As National Review Online (NRO) points out, this wasn’t a piece of scripture for Mr. Jefferson, it was a reference book. Which means, it was profaned, that is no say, put to a non-sacred, profane, use.
STEEEEEEEEE-RIKE ONE!
Thomas Jefferson was no fan of “Musselmen” as they were called at the time, as can be evidenced by his words on the topic:
Jefferson’s Koran [James S. Robbins]
The Bashaw of Tripoli’s justification for war on American trading ships in the Mediterranean two hundred years ago, according to Thomas Jefferson, was that “it was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners.” By all means let Keith Ellison swear in using Jefferson’s Koran, maybe afterwards he can look up the passages that discuss smiting the infidels at the neck and make great slaughter among them. Probably underlined.”
In the words of the great Stan Lee: “‘Nuff Said.”
