Quran Used In Swearing In Witnesses?

[DJEvelEd]

<font style="font-size: 9px" face="Verdana">quote: </font>WASHINGTON, D.C. -- (OfficialWire) -- 06/22/05 -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group has called on judges meeting this week in North Carolina to allow use of the Quran, Islam's revealed text, when administering oaths.<br /><br />The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the current exclusive use of the Bible may be an inappropriate state endorsement of religion.<br /><br />CAIR issued its call after Guilford County judges said they would not allow use of Qurans in their courtrooms. &quot;An oath on the Quran is not a lawful oath under our law,&quot; said W. Douglas Albright, Guilford's Senior Resident Superior Court judge. State law only refers to swearing an oath by putting a hand on the &quot;Holy Scriptures.&quot; Those who do not wish to take an oath using the Bible may instead make an &quot;affirmation.&quot;<br /><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I LOVE this. Its a slippery slope that HAS to be addressed! Is the Bible the ONLY religious book that should be used in swearing in a defendant or witness? Let's see the Buddhist books and theRasta books too!!!</p><p>The&nbsp;court only uses the Bible which is state endorsement of religion!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://news.baou.com/main.php?action=recent&rid=20297">http://news.baou.com/main.php?action=recent&amp;rid=20297</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smile.gif" border="0" /> FLING <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smile.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smile.gif" border="0" /> FLING <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smile.gif" border="0" /> ........... <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smileredoh.gif" border="0" /> SPLATT <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smileredoh.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smileredoh.gif" border="0" /> SPLATT <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/images/smileredoh.gif" border="0" /> <font color="#ff0000">PUTTING THE FUNNY IN PRESENTLY SEEN DEPTHS</font> <font color="#0000ff">SPONSORED BY:&quot;THE F&AElig;CES&trade;OF C&AElig;SAR&quot; BY &AElig;SOP &copy;464 B.C.</font> <img src="http://64.177.177.182/katylina/shockposters.jpg" border="0" />

I always assumed that you swore upon the holy book of your choice.&nbsp; What would swearing on a bible do for a shintoist or aborigine?

All us Athiests have been lying on the stand for years.&nbsp; What good does swearing on your funny little story book do for us?

If they really want my hand on a book they'll make sure the word &quot;Juggs&quot; is on the cover.

Apparently you need the right book to tell the truth.

This is just an extension of religius people think that non-religious people can't be moral.&nbsp; That's bullshit, they just don't need a book to tell them to be moral

It doesn't have to be a bible, and if your personal beliefs don't allow swearing, you can &quot;affirm&quot; instead.
