Rupert, how many Congressmen and high-up officials trumpet their Christianity at every opportunity? I don't notice Bush saying he answers to the Constitution; he says he answers to a higher Father, for example. What about Scalia's membership in Opus Dei?
Of course this guy should take his oath on the Quaran. He's not Christian; the point of taking the oath on the Bible is that you're taking an oath on what you perceive as a holy work of truth. For a Muslim to be expected to take in on the Bible-- why not make him take it on MAD Magazine? S'all the same to him. By taking it on the Quaran, he's making the pledge mean something to him.
