Too bad he wasn't intelligent enough to declare the bible equally "not
holy".

Oh, I can see I'd be in trouble if I was in front of that judge, since
I'd refuse to swear on any religious book at all...

We're atheists. The only way we'd end up in front of a judge is if
atheism is outlawed.
Or, we have to testify as witnesses of a Christian committing a hate
crime.

Debate Brews Over Use of Koran in Court
Monday, August 22, 2005
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Traditionally, witnesses taking the stand in court
are sworn in by placing their hand on the Bible (search).
But when Muslims in Guilford County, N.C., tried to donate copies of
the Koran (search) for courtroom use, judges turned them down.
Chief District Court Judge Joseph Turner (search) says taking an oath
on the Koran is not allowed by North Carolina state law, which
specifies that witnesses shall place their hands on the “holy
scriptures,” which he interprets as the Christian Bible.
“We’ve been doing it that way for 200 years,” he said. “Until the
legislature changes that law, I believe I have to do what I’ve been
told to do in the statutes.”
But the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the American
Civil Liberties Union are challenging the Guilford County Courts.
“This was the first time that we had a judge … going on record and
stating unilaterally what is a holy scripture and what is not — what
we believe to be a violation of the establishment clause,” said
Arsalan Iftikhar of CAIR.
Their case is solid, according to one Duke University (search) law
professor.
“I have absolutely no doubt that higher courts, if it gets there, will
say that persons of Muslim faith can swear on a Koran rather than a
Christian Bible,” said Erwin Chemerinsky. “The case law is so clear
here that a person doesn’t even have to swear on a Bible to be a
witness so long as they’re willing to promise to tell the truth.”

Seen from this side of the pond it sounds irealistic. Why don't you
swear on something (if you need to) anyone agrees on i.e. your
constitution?

It is indeed that.

What Constitution? (It's been deemed obsolete years ago)
If one's word is worthless 'swearing' isn't going to change anything.

I doubt there is any such thing. We can't even agree what the
constitution means.
