Did Obama ask to use the Koran in state senate to swear in but was denied?

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.

Did Barack Obama use the Quran when he was sworn into office?

No- that was a different member of Congress. Congressman Ellison was the individual that used the Quran. Obama is a Christian, who attends the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. He used the book of his faith, the Bible. Barack Obama was sworn into the Presidency on Abraham Lincoln's Bible. Because Chief Justice Roberts read some of the words of the oath incorrectly when swearing Obama in as president, the Chief Justice went to the White House the next day to have the president repeat the oath. There was no Bible at this second swearing-in.

Who was sworn in with the Qur'an?

No US president has been sworn in using a Qur'an, but several congressmen have been. In January 2007. Keith Ellison D- Minnesota, the first Muslim member of the House of Representatives, took a ceremonial oath with a Qur'an once owned by Thomas Jefferson. (It is worth noting that Thomas Jefferson was sworn in on a Bible; he just happened to own a Qur'an and Ellison chose to use it for the symbolic significance that the document could be traced to one of America's founders.) Another Muslim Congressman, André Carson, a Representative from Indiana, was also sworn in on the Qur'an. Barack Obama who is sometimes incorrectly called a Muslim, was NOT sworn in on the Qur'an. (This is an internet myth.) He was sworn in on the Bible used by Abraham Lincoln, and in his second term oath of office, he used one from Martin Luther King when taking the oath of office. And of course, presidents and prime ministers from Muslim countries have used the Muslim holy book when taking their ceremonial oath.
