A routine municipal ceremony has become seeped in controversy after a Brooklyn Civil Court judge was sworn in using a Koran.
Carolyn Walker-Diallo, who was elected last month in Brooklynâs 7th Municipal District, took her oath of office Thursday using the holy book of Islam as a testament to her Muslim faith.
The swearing-in session went off without a hitch, but after attendees posted video of the ceremony to social media, the backlash became so severe that some of Walker-Dialloâs supporters became concerned for her safety.

That picture must be Old ,the one I saw she was like 50lbs heavier
oops, I meant Keith Ellison
Wake up, America! It has begun!
Will she wear a burkha on the bench?
Figured. New York, non-Moslem name -> black wannabe.
So, did she recite the Shahada while she was being sworn in?
PING!
I would love to be present when she passes judgement on another male muslim, she probably will be called names she never has heard of. Would be interesting to say the least.
Absolutely unacceptable!
If she does then she'll see a lot of her verdicts overturned on appeal.
any defendant who wants a mistrial just needs to blurt out “allah is a flasoe god and the koran is satanic” in her courtroom
we can easily assume her religious faith is above the law and would prejudice her to the defendant
easy peasy
The keyword in this article is “backlash”. When the media uses this word it means there is no backlash and they’re just making it up.
The Koran is utterly incompatible with the Constitution.
It also says, "...no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." But she's basically a small-claims court judge. There isn't a whole lot she can do. If this judge bases decisions on anything other than civil law of New York then her decisions will be overruled.
Yes.
A judge in America sworn into office on the terrorism handbook. God save us all...........
She can go judge in a Middle-Eastern country.
NONE of her rulings are valid in the United States - the Koran is a book of deception, murder, violence & blood.
Simple to explain why she or any other Muslim is disqualified to be a Judge (or hold other public offices):
Conflict of interest.
War's destroy more than buildings, war's destroy people. Much more effective is to destroy Political Correctness and call this "religion" what it is...."That is a simple rule, and easy to remember. When I, a thoughtful and unblessed Presbyterian, examine the Koran, I know that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane; not in all things, but in religious matters. Mark Twain
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome Winston Chruchill....
But in the context of what it meant in 1787, it means something different from what the modern interpretation appears to be.
It meant no religious test for CHRISTIAN doctrine. The fear of that time was that there would be doctrine based discrimination between the various denominations of Christianity which were then official religions in many states.
The Founders were deliberately reassuring such states as still had official state religions that there would be no bar to them serving in the Federal government because of what Denomination they happened to be.
As with everything else, modern lawyers deliberately misinterpret the meaning according to their own modern notions of what those words mean.
This is what Abraham Lincoln thought on the subject.
But she's basically a small-claims court judge. There isn't a whole lot she can do. If this judge bases decisions on anything other than civil law of New York then her decisions will be overruled.
Islam should not be tolerated in the United States. It should not be tolerated anywhere in the world, for that matter. If we have to change the Constitution to bar Islam, then that is what we should do.
The Christian foundation principle of "equality" is rejected by Islamic doctrine. Slavery in America is itself a product of Islam. Islam is no more compatible with our nation than was slavery.
