Do you think the Koran has American values in it, like the Holy Bible?

Question

A Muslim , Keith Ellison, took oath of office on the Koran instead of on the bible.

Answer 1

That is a terrific question.

My answer: "No"

And while I am a profound proponent of the Establishment Clause of our beloved Constitution...

There was a time in this country when there was no Constitution and the laws we had were based on something.

Whether or not you agree (history proves it) - those laws were based on something. And that something was the Bible.

Every office-holder in this country, from George Washington forward, has sworn his/her oath on the Bible.

What Keith Ellison has done is just another indication of our eroding standards in this great land.

I am appalled, frankly.

Answer 2

The Koran even reported treating "believers" in a justful way: [bd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3aebd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3aebd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3aebd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae] O you who have self assurance! do no longer take your fathers and your brothers for guardians in the event that they love unbelief better than perception; and whoever of you takes them for a guardian, those that's that are the unjust throughout the time of a war of words, if the unbelievers are prone in direction of peace, Muslims is often recommended with the aid of the Koran to be prone in a matching way: 8bd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae60-6bd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae and prepare against them what tension you may and horses tied on the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do no longer comprehend (yet) Allah knows them; and notwithstanding element you will spend in Allah's way, that's going to be paid lower back to you completely and you shall no longer be dealt with unjustlybd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae And in the event that they incline to peace, then incline to it and have faith in Allah; certainly he's the listening to, the Knowingbd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae EDIT the incontrovertible fact that verse 8bd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae60-6bd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae is interior the Koran, is a evidence that Islam advocates peacebd90a8adbd3d4a3fc02de0a35225c3ae people who're bent on bashing Islam will take any skill to discredit it, ignoring the different comparable effective verses interior the Koran

Answer 3

Yes it does! It is more like poetry and not in a sequence because Muslims believe that it is the way it came from God and no man has revised it. But to answer your question it has so called biblical stories, God, creation, Adam and Eve, Moses, Jesus, birth of Jesus, concept of heaven and hell, ten commandments, the day of judgment many of things like the the old testament!

Answer 4

What are 'American vlaues'? Equality? Freedom? Democracy? Diversity? Respect? Hard work? What else? All these and more are the vlaues of Islam. People who negate this fact; have you read the Quran? Have you studied the Sunnah? I guess we leave our brains to be washed by the media and build beliefs on 'cartoons in newspapers'. Study Islam before you judge.

Peace

Answer 5

I know that it does. I would say that not all Torah, or Muslim law fits into American society, but the basic values are generally the same.

Answer 6

American values? Are you aware Christianity comes from the middle east, not America....

Answer 7

Definetly, Muhamed lead by the sword on many occasions and the US seem to enjoy attacking other countries for illegal reasons.
