Unbinding Oath
Timothy Birdnow
They're doing it again; another Muslim is being sworn into public office on a Koran.
Consider this:
Or this :
This means that an oath sworn on the Koran (I refuse to change to the modern Quran spelling) is worthless. It has less value than a Zimbabwean dollar, or than a promise from Bill Clinton to keep your teenage daughter safe. There is no point in having a Moslem elected official swear any sort of oath at all.

Consider this:
"He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar.†Bukhari 49:857
Or this :
"One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to
those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling
the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie.†,
"When it is
possible to achieve an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is
permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible, and lying is
obligatory if the goal is obligatory.†(Reliance of the Traveler, Para
r8.2),
"If we abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten, We will replace it by a better one or similar.†Sura 2:106,
"Allah was the best of deceivers" Sura 3:54, "Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said, 'If one hides (the sins of) a Muslim, Allah will hide (his sins) in this world and the Hereafter." Bukhari 3:49-2.
Bukhari vol.7 book 67 ch.26 p.309 Mohammed said, "By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find something else better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath."
Sura 66:2a says "Allah has already ordained For you, the expiation of your oaths"
