I said, 'I will swear on the Koran, I am a Muslim.' 'We have no Qur'an, can I bring my', they answered me. So I took my Koran. After the ceremony they wanted to return Kur 'an, but I told them:' No, leave it to others can take an oath on it. ' "The last sentence has attracted particular attention. For 24 hours, this publication is divided almost four thousand times on Twitter.
