Very powerful words from the Lord Mayor of London.

I seem to recall that he has been a very strong critic of the President in the past. In any case I hope that your mayor is of the same ilk as our Rudy.

Perhaps he might change - seeing the camel's nose is well under his tent.

But I imagine he would want some words retracted:

"Similarly, last summer, the Egyptian-born Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, a leader of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood movement and a vocal advocate of suicide bombings, also spent time in London, where he was given a hero's welcome by the city's ultra-Leftist mayor, Ken Livingstone.

Livingstone, who was booted out of the Labour party in 2000, was just recently accepted back into the fold by Tony Blair. At a January 11 press conference, Livingstone defended his decision to host Al-Qaradawi, saying at one point, "On behalf of the people of London, I want to apologize to the Sheikh for the outbreak of xenophobia and hysteria in some sections of the tabloid press which demonstrated an underlying ignorance of Islam."

Livingstone went on to call Al-Qaradawi, "a progressive figure who is moving [Islam] in the correct direction," andsuggested that the criticism of the fundamentalist sheikh was part of a Zionist plot. Mind you, this is the same Sheikh Al-Qaradawi who has issued a fatwa (religious decree) calling for the abduction and killing of American civilians in Iraq, and who has endorsed suicide bombings against Israeli civilians as well. Al-Qaradawi has also advocated the use of female suicide bombers, and has written a book supporting wife-beating."
