The swearing-in upon the Quran of Keith Ellison (representing Michigan's 5th Congressional District) to Congress, is just another heads-up among many of late. And where do the liberals stand on the myth of seperation of church and state, now?

And too few see another component here - the Quranic priciple of al-Takeyya: Lying to and deceiving non-Muslims and to those Muslims deemed apostate, in service to Allah (such as telling us that Islam is a religion of peace, when in fact Mohammed himself stated that Islam is a religion of the sword). What I find particularly irksome about Ellison is he using a Quran that was owned by founding father, Thomas Jefferson - the implication being that Jefferson was a closet Islamist!
