No, this claim is not true. There is no evidence to support the claim that Barack Obama requested to use the Quran for his swearing-in ceremony as a state senator and was denied. In fact, when Obama was sworn in as a U.S. senator in 2005 and as the 44th President of the United States in 2009, he used a Bible for both occasions.
