Actually, G, this guy has legislated from the bench. The current law only specifies "holy scriptures." Under that law, the Quran would definitely qualify, as it is holy scripture.

This judge has just changed the law, because under his ruling, he has effectively changed the legal requirement for the swearing of oaths from "holy scripture" to "The Holy Bible."

Not only that, the larger implication is that a court in the United States has now openly said that the Quran is not "holy scripture," and from there it's not much of a leap to "Islam is not a valid religion." And that has huge implications.
