The Koran Influenced America's Founding Fathers?

Keith Ellison, who took his Congressional Oath of Office Thursday with a Koran, told the Detroit Free Press that the Koran "definitely an important historical document in our national history and demonstrates that Jefferson was a broad visionary thinker who not only possessed a Quran, but read it; it would have been something that contributed to his own thinking."

Yeah, it probably slam-dunked their decision to separate the Church from the State, and found the nation on the laws of the Bible, rather than the brutal law of the Koran.

Ellison went on to claim that Jefferson's ownership of the Koran "shows that from the earliest times of this republic, the Koran was in the consciousness of people who brought about democracy."

Does that even make sense? I can't get my brain around it! I can't think of a single example where Sharia law and democracy work together. If the Koran was in the consciousness of our Founding Fathers, then it must have been there as an example of what wouldn't work!

These quotes are the very reason why Ellison should not have been allowed to use the Koran while doing the swearing-in photo op; the freak-jobs at CAIR, and the Islamic Thinkers Society will take this and run with it: "See? Your Founding Fathers intended for this nation to be based upon the laws of Allah; this is just one step closer to the inevitable: Sharia law in America."

The freak-jobs in al-Queada and those sort of terror groups will take the photo of Ellison, hand on the Koran, and show it in the Middle East where free access to information is limited, and show it as a victory for Allah. I guarantee you will see Ellison's picture in the Mosques at Friday sermon, accompanied by cries of "Allahu Akbar."

If Ellison is a true patriot, then he should be afraid and ashamed that he's done this country more harm than good.
