Did Barak Obama swear into his office on the Koran? Answer: No, "It has been a smear campaign against him!" Senator Barack Obama was administered the Oath of Office by Vice President Dick Cheney in January 2005 using a copy of the Bible. While Barack Obama has family history in the Muslim faith both he and his wife are Christians. Who used the Koran to swear into office? It was a democrat “Keith Ellison,” a US Representative from the state of Minnesota - elected in 2006. He made news by choosing the Koran over the Bible for his swearing in. In 2007, Representative Keith Ellison, who converted to Islam while in college, was the first member of Congress to be sworn in on a copy of the Koran. E-mail Keith Ellison and let him know what you think? campaign@keithellison.org |
