Newly elected Rep. Keith Ellison announced last month that he planned to take the oath of office with his hand on the Quran. The decision by the Minnesota Democrat, the first Muslim elected to Congress, drew criticism.

But now Ellison says he plans to use a copy of the Quran once owned by Thomas Jefferson. Michele Norris talks with Mark Dimunation, chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress, who helped Ellison locate Jefferson's Quran.

why is this hilarious?

Good for him. I think it's great. He's an American. Freedom of religion and such.

Glenn Beck made a huge ass of himself with this guy.
He actually says, "...prove to me you are not working with the enemy..." to him.
Whathefuckman? See it HERE.

For me... I'd want to be sworn in with a copy of the Necronomicon.
Preferrably one that would attempt to bite the person holding it.

Thomas Jefferson was an athiest and very much for the idea of seperation of church and state - so it makes it even funnier.
