LONDON (AP) — London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Tuesday slammed Donald Trump's "ignorant" view of Islam, after the Republican presidential contender suggested Khan could be exempted from a proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Last year Trump proposed "a total and complete" ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S. "until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."
Asked how that policy would affect London's first Muslim mayor, Trump told The New York Times that "there will always be exceptions."
But Khan said "this isn't just about me — it's about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world."
"Donald Trump's ignorant view of Islam could make both our countries less safe — it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of the extremists," Khan said in a statement.
Khan, the London-born son of Pakistani immigrants, was elected last week by a wide margin after a campaign that saw his Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith accuse him of having shared platforms with Islamic extremists.
Khan, a former human rights lawyer and Labour Party lawmaker, accused Goldsmith of trying to frighten and divide voters in a multicultural city of 8.6 million people — more than 1 million of them Muslims.
The mayor said Tuesday that Trump and people who agree with him "think that western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam - London has proved him wrong."
Trump said he was "happy to see" Khan's election and hoped "he does a good job."
The mayor declined to lend Trump his support.
"I'll be backing the Democratic candidate — Hillary Clinton, who I suspect it will be — and I hope that she trounces him," Khan told the BBC.

Your second photo terrifies me. I don’t know why it seems so much worse than other beheading photos...maybe because I can almost see an expression on the victim’s face.
That’s Islam in a nutshell, though.
Listen to what this man in London is saying, that we have to accept Muslims of all kinds from anywhere in the world, and he takes it personally if we do not. Is he the mayor of a British City, or is he the representative of Muslims worldwide?
That future starts now as muzzie hate creates even more Trump voters.
Texas also has tho most mosques and largest population of Muslim in the USA. Followed by New York, California and then Virginia.
I slam the London Mayor’s ignorant view of Trump.
But Khan said "this isn't just about me — it's about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world."
Yeah, those are the ones we're worried about.
All your election proves is that conquest through immigration has succeeded because of Muslim subversion. There aren't enough Englishmen left in London to hold their own ancestral homes, you have beaten tthem.
Congratulations. Trump is wise to Islamic Imperialism and he will not let you win.
“Is he the mayor of a British City, or is he the representative of Muslims worldwide?”
Good question. The media will give him more influence than he should have. This will encourage more migrations worldwide.
Ok, Trump took the high ground yesterday saying, “maybe the new Muslim mayor of London will be good”. But that was yesterday. Now that the guy took him on, GO GET HIM, TRUMP!

No, Trump knows all he needs to know about Islam. Islam is evil and selfish and destructive.
This guy sounds like he has been well educated in the CAIR style of insidious sharia law implementation over time.
The CAIR performance after the last American attack was quite the show, remember? “We just don’t understand why these people did these things which have nothing to do with Islam.” Then the CAIR reps went silent when the truth came out.
Islam has many tentacles, all working in the same direction toward submission of western culture to Islam. Getting this man into his current position is a huge victory for Islam.
Fool Brittania, tra la la....

America belongs to its rooted population. We are not to be reduced to the level of guinea pigs for strange social experiments--at least not any more--if Donald Trump is elected. This is not for or against any Faith. It is only in the common sense interests of our own homeland.
London is about 50% foreign born, 10% of that being Islamic.
It just shows that the non-whites will vote for any one who isn't white first.
That's a serious problem.
Trump as I do know is-SCAM very well! Where ever there is strife, murder and mayhem, there is is-SCAM today!
Outside of the Ruskies no one else causes trouble!
