Rick Scott's Prayer Breakfast: Quran and Chuck Colson

Rick Scott's inaugural prayer breakfast was an ecumenical affair Tuesday.

In addition to the usual priests, reverends and rabbis, speakers included Jacksonville Imam Enrique Rasheed, who read from the Quran with a Southern accent.

The primary preacher was Watergate conspirator-turned-prison chaplain Chuck Colson, who called the current political environment "ugly."

As an antidote, Colson urged the revival of "the great republican virtue: a sense of civic duty."

Colson praised Scott's call for criminal-justice reform, citing restitution programs and other innovations as the "conservative answer to crime."
