If he is a Muslim, shouldn't he swear on the Quran, since that is the book he considers holy? If he were made to swear on the Bible, and he doesn't consider that book sacred, then isn't that the same thing as if he were to swear on, say, "The Lord of the Rings" or something? I just find this whole "controversy" absolutely bizarre... I thought one of the key principles of America was freedom of religion.
Someone please tell me I am not alone in thinking this whole thing is ridiculous, or at least explain the other side of the debate to me in logical terms (logical, please... meaning try leaving the word "terrorist" out if at all possible!).
