Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, announced that he would take his oath on the Koran instead of the Bible. First of all…why in God’s name (no pun intended) are politicians still made to take the oath on the Bible? Couldn’t we use something more closely related to their job…like, say, the Constitution? What do physicians use when they take the Hippocratic Oath, or lawyers when they promise to do whatever it is they promise to do?

Apparently, the Religious Right is SUPER PISSED that the dude is being allowed to use the Koran. Because when our politicians are allowed to have their own religions, it is obvious that the terrorists have won. This is from a column written by Dennis Prager, who is one of our Greatest American Wackjobs:

Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran.

He should not be allowed to do so — not because of any American hostility to the Koran, but because the act undermines American civilization.

First, it is an act of hubris that perfectly exemplifies multiculturalist activism — my culture trumps America’s culture. What Ellison and his Muslim and leftist supporters are saying is that it is of no consequence what America holds as its holiest book; all that matters is what any individual holds to be his holiest book.

…and?
