A welcome bit of anti-dhimmitude. "Judge dismisses lawsuit involving courtroom oaths," from the Greensboro News-Record, with thanks to all who sent this in:
A judge today dismissed a lawsuit prompted by outcry over the inability of Muslims to be sworn in Guilford County courts using the Quran, a lawyer in the case said.In throwing out the case, Superior Court Judge Donald L. Smith decided that no controversy existed because the plaintiff was still able to affirm she could truthfully testify despite not being allowed to swear on the Quran, attorney Seth Cohen said.
The plaintiffs in the case were the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina and Greensboro Muslim Syidah Mateen. The defendant was the state of North Carolina because the plaintiffs were asking to clarify a state law referring to someone laying his hands on the “Holy Scriptures."
Guilford Senior Resident Superior Court Judge W. Douglas Albright and Guilford Chief District Court Judge Joseph E. Turner believed an oath on the Quran is not a legal oath based on their interpretation of that law.
Praise the Lord(the non Muslim one of course)!!! Finally some balls are being shown!!
No jokin'. Its about time.
The koran says it's just fine to lie to unbelievers, not to mention killing them.
Hooray. G-d bless Judge Smith.
Great bit of news after all the dimmitude news.
The koran only belongs in the garbage not in an American court room Period.
"...Thou shalt not bear false witness..."
Must be one of missing (satanic) pages of the Koran.
Yea! Finally, some good news.
