London may elect their first Muslim mayor this Friday

[Bo-4]

The winner will replace incumbent Boris Johnson - (Britain's version of Mayor Rob Ford ;-)

So if Trump becomes president, the Mayor of London won't be able to visit the US.

Dumb huh? :rolleyes21:

What’s dumb is that you actually wrote that. Trump advocates “pausing” Muslim immigration until a better vetting process is in place. That has nothing to do with visiting dignitaries, although being a “mayor” isn’t really a big rung on the ladder.

[Adelaide]

Has he renounced Shiria law?

It is "Sharia" not "Shiria".

Anyways, should be interesting to see if Khan can win.

[Cigar]

Has he renounced Shiria law?Have YOU renounced Shiria law?

[Mac-7]

Is he an assimilated muslim who has renounced shria law and condems muslim extremism?

[Mac-7]

Have YOU renounced Shiria law?

I asked you first.

[Mac-7]

Thank you.

since the exact spelling is more important to you than his position on the law I guess this topic has accomplished its mission.

[Adelaide]

Is he an assimilated muslim who has renounced shria law and condems muslim extremism?

He supports issues like same-sex marriage so clearly he does not follow SHARIA law. As well, he's been praised for his position on terrorism.

No reason to shit the bed.

Trump says he wants a database for Syrian refugees, not all Muslims.....

Under fire for appearing to support the idea of creating a database to track Muslims living in the U.S., Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump stressed Friday night that what he actually wants is a system to keep tabs on Syrian refugees coming into the country.
"What I want is a watch list," the billionaire businessman and former Atlantic City casino mogul (http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/10/trumps_controversial_time_in_ac_under_new_scrutiny _with_presidential_run.html#incart_2box_politics) said via phone during an interview on Fox News' "On the Record." (http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/on-the-record/index.html#/v/4624096999001) "I want surveillance programs. Obviously, there are a lot of problems. I want a database for the Syrian refugees that Obama is going to let in, if we don't stop him, as Republicans, if we don't stop him."

One of the biggest fears is that as the U.S. takes in Syrians fleeing violence in their country, some members of ISIS will sneak in disguised as refugees. Governors from at least 31 states — including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (http://www.nj.com/chris-christie/), one of Trump's opponents for the Republican nod — have told President Obama's administration that they won't accept refugees.

An ABC News-Washington Post poll (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/terrorism-fears-rise-post-paris-back-force-oppose/story?id=35327667) released Friday showed 54 percent of Americans are against admitting refugees from Syria and other Mideast countries.

The real estate magnate and former reality TV star has said in recent weeks that he would send any Syrian refugees back and that he would consider monitoring and possibly closing (http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/11/trump_on_isis_after_paris_attacks_this_is_a_war_vi .html) some mosques to protect Americans if he were elected to the White House......snip~

This is either before he called on the temporary ban of "all Muslims" or after when he walked it back a tad.

Again, you have nothing saying that Muslim dignitaries would be an exception.

[FindersKeepers]

Look up the difference between visiting, immigrating and taking in refugees.

No I had better.....Trump saying what he meant with Syrian Refugees and not Muslims. So what do you think that means? Not including Heads of States and Diplomats that are from Other governments.

Are the dignitaries Syrian Refugees? As Assad still has sway in Syria.

LONDON — Sadiq Khan was elected Mayor of London on Friday, making him the most powerful Muslim politician in the Western world.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/06/huge-win-for-sadiq-khan-london-s-first-muslim-mayor.html

[MMC]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2M8fl6MxUE

57% of Londontown voted in the Pakistani Muslim. What say ye?



Sadiq Khan has been elected mayor of London, reclaiming the post for Labour after eight years of Conservative rule and becoming the first Muslim mayor of a major western capital.

Khan took 1,310,143 votes (57%) after second preferences were taken into account, beating Conservative Zac Goldsmith (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/zac-goldsmith) into second place on 994,614 (43%). His tally gave him the largest personal mandate of any politician in UK history.

The 45-year-old son of a Pakistani bus driver beat Zac Goldsmith at the end of a sometimes bitter campaign during which the Conservatives accused Khan of being “dangerous” and “pandering to extremists”. Labour (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/labour) complained that Goldsmith’s campaign was Islamophobic.

In his victory speech Khan said he was “deeply humbled by the hope and trust” voters placed in him, adding: “I want to thank every single Londoner for making the impossible possible.”

He added: “I’m so proud that Londoners have today chosen hope over fear and unity over division.”

The convincing win will provide solace to the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, after a poor set of election results overnight in Scotland, England and Wales. Khan becomes the first Labour leader at City Hall since the Conservatives’ Boris Johnson unseated Ken Livingstone in 2008.....snip~

Should he have stolen it, like a trump? Mr Khan was elected because he was Labour candidate in a Labour City, and we left the racist and religious ranting to ignorant peasants abroad. Naturally we hoped that the election of the best candidate over there was a sign you'd got over your brainwashing, but it seems we were wrong, since your Republicans are flocking to a fascist bully. And if Mr Khan should be inclined to destroy the graven images of that half-American bully Churchill, good for him!

He's running for the highest position in one of the major European cities. A city which has a huge Muslim population.
