Here's what right-wing nut Dennis Prager has to say about Rep.-elect Keith Ellison's choice of a Koran for his oath taking ceremony. Note particularly how fragile he thinks "American civilization" is in the face of the threat of one oath on the Koran. This seems to be much the same as the fragility of "hetero-sexual marriage" in the face of the threat from gay and lesbian marriage. How come everything these people believe in is so fragile?
I wonder if Joe Lieberman will take his Senate oath on a New Testament. Or would Prager consider the Old Testament less of a threat to "American civilization."
These people just keep lampooning themselves.
"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."
