Sadiq Khan set to become London’s first Muslim mayor

[wabothai]

A note to all the PC fools , try running for politics in a MUslim country, you cant wake up..

It is precisely our strength and one of the major reasons of our development. The Western world has always enriched by opening its doors to other thoughts.

Compared with closed worlds where religious obscurantism is king ...

Right, but now it is time to close them for a while.

[wabothai]

Rotterdam has a moslim major for quite a few years now, he is very much liked by also non-moslims.

[up2u2]

I love that word enrichment, though bitter experience has turned it into a bit of a euphemism for something else. Khan never satisfactory answered the questions put to him regarding past associations with extremists. He also called Maajid Nawaz an 'uncle Tom' a few years ago, Nawaz yesterday responded by asking who's the Uncle Tom now?

Let's wait and see whether this leopard has really changed his spots.

Spot on.

How quickly recent history is forgotten or conveniently discarded. The Hamlet Towers fiasco has set an uncanny precedent.

1. Muslim Mayors.

2. Both Lawyers.

3. Both members of the Labour Party.

Notice the Mayoral Collar worn by the person in the centre.

I hope that time and Mr Khan will prove me wrong, in the meantime I will not hold my breath.

Good to see people who set out to vilify people based on ethnicity are removed from office. Hopefully the same standards are applied to people who would seek to vilify a Muslim Mayor of London based only on his religion rather than his application to the Office he is elected too lead.

So the choice was Sadiq the son of a bus driver and Zachary the son of a billionaire? Make yourself comfortable Sadiq and get to work mate.

I am sure Mr Khan will make a suitable Mayor of London following in the footsteps of Boris Johnson the well educated, American born, eccentric.

Well, seems like a natural progression for London mayor then; American to Muslim.

I am not sure what you are hoping to be proven wrong on because, in all that vaguery, you don't really specify. However, assuming you are predicting impending Islamic doom (because that is the main thrust of most of your posts) let us hope that this prediction is in line with your prediction that, at this point, Scotland would have elected 7 UKIP MSPs.

You really should work on your reading comprehension skills and stop embarrassing yourself.

Firstly, I did NOT predict that Scotland would have 7 elected UKIP MSPs. I did provide a link to a newspaper article that predicted that UKIP could win up to 7 MSPs.

The link is here.

Not only are you off topic, you are misrepresenting what I actually said. It therefore comes as no surprise that you are struggling to understand my on topic post.

Welcome to my ignore list.

Unless he's an idiot, he and his political advisers and workers will know he'll be watched by the media, political opposition and extremist groups.

If he does anything "anti-British" or perceived as being Pro-Muslim they'll be reactions.

As a practicing Muslim though, his loyalty is to the requirements of that faith. Will be interesting to see how he handles the dichotomies.

Interesting.

Just as a matter of interest if the headline was:

Zac Goldsmith set to become London's first Christian Mayor

would this be your comment?

Welcome to my ignore list.

This is what you wrote: "Does it not seem strange to you, that a Party that, apparently only has 1 Policy, EU exit, is forecast to win 7 seats in Scotland ?" Maybe someone else's misguided prediction but you swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

But that aside, if only I was not languishing on your ignore list with all the other unworthies, I might actually find out what you wanted Mr Khan to prove to you, because it seems that your first post on the thread was rhetorical. Maybe you should do away with that ignore list and open up your eyes a little? What do you want him to prove you wrong about???

Sadiq Khan has been a labour MP for quite some time. His past utterances in the Commons may well be a guide to how he will

operate within his new, and greater, position of power. Whatever he says now, savouring his moment of elation, I that his bias

will always be to the left. I also do not think that we will see any overt Islamic "plays" going forward, but there should be no question

as to where his sympathies lie in that regard.

There is no doubt that he will be well-meaning, and do the best that his socialist background and lack of administrative experience

will allow. Whether he will have the all-embracing aptitude to make a positive difference for London and Londoners, only time will tell.

There will be plenty of people who will want to knock him off his pedestal, his Faith aside.

[Morch]

Islam is all about conversion, they will do and say whatever to get you to covert, including extremist, fanatical actions.

That can be said about any religion. Do you vilify Mormons or Jehovas Witnesses when the stop you in the street or chap on your door, and try to snare you into their own particular fairytale. Come to think about it, I have never had a Muslim knock on my door and try to talk to me about Allah, but plenty Christians have tried to force copies of the Watchtower on me. Clearly they are a danger and must be stopped.

That can be said about any religion

Not really. Buddhists, Hindus and Jews, to name a few, are not into conversion that much.

Jehovas Witnesses can be persistently annoying.

[wabothai]

I knew Europe was eventually going to lose the battle.........this is the straw that broke the camels back........LOL

He will cater heavily to the Muslim people........

When he does he will be in big trouble.

Will London be the first city in The UK to vote in Sharia Law ? May be just a matter of time.

No, it won't.

So ,What number will it be if not first?

The UK is not going to 'vote in Sharia Law'. That's just something rather silly that hysterical islamophobes like to say.

[dunroaming]

Apparently the new mayor has already put in planning permission to make St Pauls Cathedral a mosque and have all the street signs in London turned to face Mecca! No doubt suicide belt shops will be opening shortly. There is stupid and there is very stupid! Good luck Tariq, you will need it with all the morons out there

[allanos]

Given the disparity in breeding rates, at some stage in the future, statistically speaking and using

computer modeling, the Muslim population will outnumber the rest of the population of the United

Kingdom. It will happen sooner in France and Belgium. In all probability, therefore, one would expect

to see major changes to the kinds of parliamentary laws being passed and implemented, as Muslim MP's

will be in the majority. Unlikely to happen in my lifetime, but almost certainly in my childrens' or grandchildrens'

lifetimes. Sharia Law may or may not then come about, although my personal belief is that it will be unlikely.

This is not fear mongering but a simple question of logic and demographics.

Whilst you're drifting off topic, it's worth noting Muslim birth rates are generally decreasing worldwide as women's heath services & their home countries economy gradually improves.

There are a number of organisations which have studied Muslim population growth and future impact on European countries who estimate total Muslim population in Europe being around 10% by 2050. From a UK based research group; "wouldn’t bet on the British Muslim population ever topping 10 per cent, let alone 50 per cent".

No, it's fear mongering. Actually Muslim fertility is in dramatic decline around the world http://www.aei.org/publication/waning-crescent-slipping-birth-rates-in-the-muslim-world/

And when Muslims emigrate to a developed nation their birthrate generally falls close to that of the birth rate of the locals. http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-will-britain-have-a-muslim-majority-by-2050/13690

Yes The UK's muslim population will grow as a percentage of the total population. But it will remain a small minority.

[brewsterbudgen]

Wow….this is big….most white brits must still be in shock!!!

Bye Bye UK….

I doubt it - most white Brits in London voted for him!

[melvinmelvin]

Might as well be elected to be the king of England.... the US has gone Islamic long, long time ago,

the pomes has capitulated to the many millions of Muslims and arabs living among them for long time

now that a Muslim PM is just a matter of time.....

Less than 50% of British nationals are living in London now.

Islam is the fastest growing religion covering about 1/3 of the world

Islam is all about conversion, they will do and say whatever to get you to covert, including extremist, fanatical actions.

What happens next to our society as we know it, will be our own fault, accept them and they should accept and respect the culture and lifestyle of the country that has adopted them.

Most Muslims I know have done just that, however there is that element that will always be wanting to convert and intimidate others to their radical and ignorant beliefs, that does not fit into our society.

less than 50%, good

if more than 50% of British nationals were living in London it would be rather crowded and uncomfortable

Let's get real here, Sadiq Khan has in the past shared a platform with extremists, whether this had any bearing on his own views and how they may have changed today is unclear. Those who are showing indignation here would I suspect have been among the first to highlight it if an candidate had past associations with far right groups or politicians.

The man who accumulated the most votes won.
