The NYPD hate-crimes unit is investigating threats made to a Brooklyn Civil Court judge who was sworn in on a Koran, The Post has learned.
Judge Carolyn Walker-Diallo got two calls at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the courthouse on Schermerhorn Street, law enforcement sources said on Wednesday ...
David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the state's courts, said judges need only swear an oath of office that they will uphold the law, and that there are no requirements to use a religious text.
"You can be sworn in on a comic book. You don't need to sign in on anything; you just need to sign your oath," he said ...

That depends on one's perspective, and whether or not one realizes we've been at war with Islam for decades, and decades ........
Nope, that depends on God.
If we shut away all the righteous things we can do, and paint ourselves into an artificial corner, that is our fault.
Not all religions are equal.
It seems we are getting to the point where every one in the world is going to have to choose which Master to serve.
And that is the point I’ve tried to make.
I still think a lot of us have more sense than to make that master Allah.
But even if it takes the onslaught of Allah to force us into the arms of Christ rather the arm of flesh, God will do that. He knows He can take care of Allah in nothing flat. However sometimes we really need the pinch play, we are so far gone.
They did.
With all due respect and the argument you're trying to make, nothing Christians do is righteous in the eyes of a muslim. We are nothing more than infidels to be killed.
Please stop capitalizing their false god and giving it legitimacy.
Yup, God could do that to them, “poof” at any time if He so chose.
I’m hearing now about a flea borne plague that is killing many ISIS. Don’t know if that is a true story yet, would be very interested in any details.
God has many colors on His palette with which to paint a victory. But we have to want the victory to be painted. This Islamic onslaught could be a way of forcing away indiffirence. I am not faulting anyone for wanting it gone. I am faulting us for not even trying to have the mind of Christ about it. “In guns we trust” gets kind of old before God... this is not a disarmament argument, but one for respecting the inherent limitations of the material world.
“Threats are wrong.”
Governments rule via threats until citizens decide that those threats have become insufferable. Then the government gets threats thrown back at them. It’s the nature of society.
Well I follow in a long line of typographical convention, including the capital S in Satan used in bibles. We respect the power of our enemies. We also recognize (or should) Jesus as Name Above All Names and if there were capitals of capitals that should be used for Him.
Let’s not trust in the petty. We are already defeated if we do.
Nobody asked you to make them our judges.
a plague be upon them
It’s the nature of worldliness, and God lets it operate to a point, but it can’t go on forever. The threats of man must yield to the fear of God. If we fear God then we then have the right (before God) to admonish others to fear God in turn. And because we have this right before God, as judge He sustains it in His courtrooms. We will actually see it happen on earth, to put it in plain language.
Wake up, they think they are our judges.
People debate over whether or not the “beast” system is islam, or the EU, or Fedzilla.
More like “all of the above”. Fedzilla funds the savages and lets them pour over the borders, and “E.U.” written in the language of the invaders from the south is short for “Estados Unidos.”
That fourth beast is different from the ones before it. Must be some kind of hybrid.
And here we are. Beheadings in the US have already started.
Muhammad was a violent, evil mass-murderer; a genocidal pirate, slave-trader, rapist, pedophile, torturer, racist, lying, thieving, truce-breaking savage.
You can’t name one thing that ISIS is doing that Muhammad himself didn’t do and teach his followers to do.
Politicians shouldn’t be swearing on holy books anyway.
—Matthew 5:34—
Parallel Verses
New International Version
But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
Just like promising to tell the truth in court: “swear or affirm,” the ceremony should simply have the person assure or affirm that s/he will do the job to the best of his/her ability.
Look at Obama—having sworn to “faithfully execute the laws”, twice, and then failing or even refusing to do so, possibly because rationalizing because he didn’t swear on a Koran.
And the Koran is derived from Christianity which is derived from Judaism.
Keeping religion clearly separate from state in order to ensure its free exercise—safe from depredations of Islamists and the left—is going to be more important than most here think in the years ahead.
This Judge being a Muslim should disqualify her from being a judge in the US. The Koran is not compatible with freedom and liberty.
