"Taking the Oath on a Quran"

"Taking the Oath on a Quran"

A fascinating WUNC story, especially at a time when so much of the world is anxious to know who may have been responsible for the London bombings. Truth is especially important at this time, one could very well argue, especially with most Americans already jumping to the conclusion that the perpetrators must have been "Arabs", Muslims, or "similar" people. One might also argue that nothing reliable has yet been released to indicate anything that might tie these attacks to any specific groups. We remain a country that, at least until now, still claims to hold dearly to the importance of both truth and the presumption of innocence.
