Congressman to be sworn in using Quran

Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, will use a Quran to be sworn in, BUT in the true spirit of compromise (the middle works again) he will be using a Quran once owned by Thomas Jefferson!
The chief of the Library of Congress' rare book and special collections division, will walk the Quran across the street to the Capitol and then walk it back after the ceremony.
Ellison spokesman Rick Jauert said the new congressman "wants this to be a special day, and using Thomas Jefferson's Quran makes it even more special." "Jefferson's Quran dates religious tolerance to the founders of our country," he added.
Ah you gotta love the middle and a good compromise. full story here
