"The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?" (Koran, 9:30)

Some of the [[Founding Fathers]] are known to have held a copy of the Koran in their personal libraries.  [[Thomas Jefferson]] owned a copy, published by George Sale.<ref>[http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2007/07-001.html Thomas Jefferson's Copy of the Koran To Be Used in Congressional Swearing-in Ceremony]</ref>  [[John Adams]] also had a copy<ref>[https://archive.org/details/korancommonlycal00john The Koran : commonly called the Alcoran of Mahomet]</ref> which was translated first into French by Sieur de Ryan, then from French into English by Alexander Ross.  Ryan's Koran comes with the following warning: "Thou wilt wonder that such absurdities have infected the best part of the world, and wilt avouch, that the knowledge of what is contained in this book, will render that Law contemptible."<ref>Page iv</ref>
