Laila Ikram: The first Muslim judge in Arizona, USA

Recently, many Muslims have assumed many positions in the United States of America, as part of the diversity policy that the American administration seeks to comply with.

Laila Ikram, an American woman from North Carolina, was able to hold the position of the first Muslim judge in the Arizona Special Court of Justice.

Ikram, who attended Law School in Arizona, USA, was the first to swear the oath of office on a Quran.

Anthony Blinken, the US Secretary of State confirmed, through his official Twitter account, at the time that on National Religious Freedom Day, the United States re-declares its advocacy of freedom of religion and belief as a right for all individuals.

This coincides with the appointment of the first Arab and Muslim official to be the mayor of the US state of Michigan.

Abdullah Hammoud was the first American of Arab Muslim descent to be elected mayor of Dearborn, Michigan.
