koran used to swear in city board member

Well, here's our WTF du jour. Boonton New Jersey used a koran to swear in new planning board member Tajammul "Taj" Khokhar. I reported to you a few weeks ago about the lawsuit filed by the ACLU, of course, in North Carolina superior court. The lawsuit followed an outcry this summer over the inability of Muslims to be sworn in Guilford County courts using the Quran. The matter surfaced when the county's two top judges turned down a gift of Qurans from a Greensboro Islamic center after deciding that an oath on the Quran is not a legal oath. State law refers to someone laying his hand on the "Holy Scriptures," which they interpret to mean the Christian Bible. The law also allows someone to affirm to tell the truth while holding their hand upraised.
It appears to me the south will not go quietly into dhimmitude while the intellectual north "embraces diversity".
