The point of swearing in is that you are taking an oath on something you believe in. For him, the bible may as well be a comic book. Doesn't mean anything to him. But swearing loyalty on the koran, in which he believes strongly, is what counts.

There have been past members who have sworn on the Tora, and the Catholic bible, the NIV, King James.

They are swearing thier oath on the book, not swearing their alliegance TO the book.
