…yeah that’s his religion? What do you think he’d swear in on? The Book of Mormon? The first Jewish Mayor, Abraham Beame, swore in on a Bible from Israel this isn’t some scary new thing.

If he’s allowed to practice his religion freely, that includes what he swears on since it’s his right to choose which religious book he wants You can’t be this dumb

And what if his true religion isn’t even Muslim. And he said that so he can swear on the Quran and it would be like the diary of a wimpy kid to him. It’s just better to use the Bible

Like bro if I had you on the Quran you wouldn’t take that seriously. It kind of removes the point of an oath to have someone swear on a DIFFERENT holy book which they don’t believe in

It’s only a tradition because most people in the United States are Christian. It’s inherently dishonest to swear an oath on a book you do not hold in high regard. The Quran is the best book for him because that is the holy book he actually believes in. I am an atheist, it wouldn’t make sense for me to swear in on the Bible because the Bible holds no special weight for me.

I could not care less what his religion is. Muslim or Christian it’s the same for me. As long as that remains his own personal business and doesn’t dictate his policies.
