Someone evidently thinks that the teachings of the Koran and the Bible are similar. Too bad they haven't done the research to discover that there are big differences between what the two religious tracts teach is permissible.
So now North Carolinians can swear to tell the truth on a book that has been interpreted by its mainstream commentators as allowing for deceptive words to be spoken to unbelievers.
Of course one can argue that a Muslim swearing on a Bible does not mean that they are going to tell the truth either- but the people involved in this decision seem to be completely oblivious to the facts of the matter here.
"Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and only lie to safeguard yourself against infidels?"
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it does it?
