RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE: Dutch police in the Gouda region have sworn in police officers who swore allegiance to Allah. The small Christian party SGP has demanded an explanation from the government.
Under current arrangements, police in the Netherlands can choose between the Christian oath ('So help me God Almighty) and the neutral vow ('I declare and promise...').

The hand must be placed on the Koran for this. >>> Paolo Gallini | October 24, 2008
