NEW JERSEY: "The American dream is alive. I am the living proof to my children and all children," said an emotionally charged Sohail Mohammed, the first Indian American and a Muslim, to become a Superior Court judge in New Jersey, at his swearing-in ceremony in a packed to capacity room at the Passaic County Courthouse in Pater-
son, NJ, on July 26. Mohammed, whose nomination by Governor Chris Christie earlier this year faced stiff opposition from conservatives because he had defended detainees after the 9/11 attacks, was cheered Tuesday by the Governor himself, local legislators who supported his nomination, all of the Superior Court judges, friends, family and several members of the community that included Arabs, Jews, Hindus and Christians.
