Keith Ellison’s little snickup

"Snickup," is what Mr. Boy liked to say before he figured out people were saying "screwup."

Minnesota Muslim congressman Keith Ellison’s use of Thomas Jefferson’s two-volume copy of the Koran to take his oath of office was a pretty slick idea, until you consider that Mr. E. probably didn’t take the time to turn a few of its pages and read what was written there. If he had, according to the Austin-based community Web site Altmuslim.com, he would have discovered that the translator, George Sale, "calls the Prophet Muhammad a ‘criminal… imposing a false religion.’" Oops.

UPDATE  More on this little gem at Elder of Ziyon, which I didn’t see until two days after this post.
