Its too bad that congress can't interrupt their five week vacation to return to Washington and debate this very serious matter.

To return to the point, when a congressman is a muslim and gets to the swearing in ceremony, it means that there is a huge constituency of muslim
voters in the district. Which would explain the expanding muslim population buggyone brought up regarding Minneapolis as if it were surprising.
Nobody said it was "inappropriate" to be sworn in on the Koran. It's the first time it's happened in this nation, and therefore became noteworthy and evidential of the population who elected him.
