I'm guessing that this woman is above average intelligence. I'm equally sure that she stays on top of the news. Is it not quite possible that she was fully aware that this would be an issue, sensitive enough to create some backlash, BEFORE she took an oath? Was she really just taking an oath? Or was she taking a stand? Proving a point? Or simply being charmingly defiant? I'm sure she was capable of figuring out a way to take her oath, without flaunting it before the media.

The problem may be in the interpretation. It may be in the tradition, but American traditions don't seem to hold much value. It may be the fact that some Koran believers have sworn to kill "westerners" , citing the Koran as the directive. 

I'm old-fashioned. She's not required to believe any part of the Bible other than one holy God, she's asked to swear to the one God our nation was founded upon....same one she believes in, nothing to do with prophets.

Death threats is unacceptable. Arrest them for making terrorist threats.

In her religion, it is unacceptable to break an oath. Her religion calls for the Quran being used to make that promise whole. What’s the big deal? I’m surprised thy felt the need to use any book of faith at all. They don’t make you swear in to be a witness anymore……..
