Here is a link to the story about the particular Quran that Ellison will swear upon. I found this little tidbit of info sort of interesting. I never knew Thomas Jefferson owned a Quran.
"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is."
This must of been a slap to the face for those who were against him (the ones who wanted people to only use the Bible) using the qur'an for being sworn in.

Pray:
Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, 'Believe ye in the Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.
3:193
I saw the story about Ellison using an English translation of the Quran and I thought right on. The existence of that book proves that rather than being odd and foreign, Islam is intrinsically American.
