Well, thanks again to the Cliton appointed activist judges we are still saddled with and the hateful joos who run the ACLU, decent White American Christians are going to be expected to use the satanic "Koran" to swear to tell the truth in a courtroom. Apparently truth is now outlawed in America. THIS is an outrage. 
So if I deem the atheist Bible "most sacred", that's fine? If I swear to tell the truth on a copy of the "satanic Bible", my word will be accepted as true, even though satan is the father of lies? WHAT IS THIS, RED CHINA?
North Carolina Judge:
Court Witnesses Can Take Oath With Koran
RALEIGH, N.C. — A Wake County judge ruled Thursday that any religious text can be used to swear in a witness or juror in the state's courtrooms, not just the Bible.
The American Civil Liberties Union argued a law that some judges said required the state's courts to use the Bible alone is unconstitutional because it favors Christianity over other religions.
The ACLU sought a court order clarifying that the law is broad enough to allow the use of multiple religious texts, or else declare the statute unconstitutional.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway ruled that a witness or juror can take a court oath using a text "most sacred and obligatory upon their conscience," citing common law and precedent of the state Supreme Court.
The judge didn't declare the law unconstitutional or rule on whether the term "Holy Scriptures" could be reasonably interpreted to mean any sacred text other than the Bible. But the ACLU still considered the ruling favorable.
"As of today all people can use the holy text of their choice," said Seth Cohen, an ACLU attorney who argued the case. "We think it's a great victory."
The court decision Thursday noted that North Carolina's oath-taking statutes were written for Christians but do not limit others from swearing in the way they deem most sacred.
