But It's Thomas Jefferson's Koran!
But It's Thomas Jefferson's Koran!
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts Wednesday, January 3, 2007; Page C03 Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, found himself under attack last month when he announced he'd take his oath of office on the Koran -- especially from Virginia Rep. Virgil Goode, who called it a threat to American values. Yet the holy book at tomorrow's ceremony has an unassailably all-American provenance. We've learned that the new congressman -- in a savvy bit of political symbolism -- will hold the personal copy once owned by Thomas Jefferson. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...010300075.html |
