Islam should not be tolerated in the United States. Our US Constitution says "Our Lord", it does not say "Our Allah."

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.

It also says, "...no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

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.

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.

Civil Court of the City of New York is not a "small claims" court. It is one of the largest court systems in the US; the court has general jurisdiction over claims up to 25K, and jurisdiction over all landlord-tenant proceedings in NYC without regard to the amount in controversy.

It is also a feeder court for the State's Supreme Court--which, despite the name, is the trial level court of NY (think of "supreme" as meaning "superior"). If you serve well on Civil, you frequently move up to Supreme.

Just an FYI. This is a real court, a real judgeship.
