Judge sworn into office on the Koran, middle America freaks out

2015-12-16 1 Dailymotion

NEW YORK — Brooklyn Civil Court Judge Carolyn Walker-Diallo has sparked controversy after footage of her being sworn in while using the Koran to take the oath of office on December 10 was posted on Facebook.

The court was packed with well wishers celebrating her inauguration, but unsurprisingly people across certain sections of the American populace were not so happy, with many suggesting this was the latest evidence that the U.S. is going to hell in a handcart.

Some critics quickly put two and two together and got five, predicting her signing in would soon see Sharia law being practiced in Brooklyn.

What most of the commenters failed to realize, however, is that in the U.S. judges can be sworn in using a religious text of their choice, or the United States Constitution.

Sadly, even that knowledge probably wouldn't be enough to stop calls for the anti-Muslim brigade's new poster boy, Donald Trump, to step in and take action — after he is elected president of course.
