Jefferson had a Koran because we were at war with the Barbary Pirates and he wanted to know the enemy.

The US Marines have immortalized this incident in The Marines’ Hymn (To the Shores of Tripoli) and in the term “Leathernecks”, named after a heavy leather collar that made beheading a bit more difficult.

Taking the oath upon this particular book is tantamount to “Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy”, in my humble opinion.
