英文原文：
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 2 and 2 together, and got 5, predicting her signing in would soon see Sharia law being practiced in Brooklyn.
Others, such as Bill Loughlin, were more simplistic in their criticism, while some compared the judge’s swearing in to the downfall of Troy.
Carolyn’s supporters, meanwhile, prefered to take aim at the perceived intellectual ability of her detractors.
What most of the commenters failed to realize, however, is that in America, judges can be sworn in using a religious text of their choice, or the United States Constitution. This would have been the smart option.
Sadly, even that knowledge probably wouldn’t be enough to stop calls for the anti-Muslim brigade’s new poster boy to step in and take action — after he is elected president of course.
But what do you think? Is America doomed, or is it another overreaction a la Internet? Vent your spleen in the comments.
