Right hand on the Koran – I’m not so much concerned about Keith Ellison taking the Congressional oath of office on the Koran than he’d put Islamic law above American law. For example (as I’ve noted) the Koran dictates that anybody leaving Islam is an apostate who must be put to death. Clearly this is a violation of our Constitutional freedom of religion. Maybe Virgil Goode’s statement was over the top, but it would be nice if we knew where Ellison’s allegiances lie.
