LONDON: Mayor Ken Livingstone urged Britons on Saturday to refrain from demonising Muslims after a double car bomb plot was foiled here amid fears of an Islamist terror threat.He also criticised Britain over its ties with Saudi Arabia, which he said had fuelled intolerance in the past through its Wahhabist form of Islam. “In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends,” he told BBC Radio.
He said various groups had carried out terrorist acts in London over the years, including far-right groups and the Irish Republican Army. “All I am interested in as mayor is that we try to prevent all acts of violence whether it is by a disaffected young member of the (far-right) British National Party, or by an Islamist or a Wahhabist supporter,” he said. He made it clear that this did not mean all white men were potentially threats to society any more than all Muslims were. But he criticised the British government’s ties with Saudi Arabia, saying Riyadh could still be funding terrorist groups in Britain.
Yeah, it's always those pesky "far-right groups." /sarc

Speechless.
Muslims only want to kill you. You got a problem with that?
Miss you Tony.
Red Ken reminds me of that Galloway clown.
“Just...WOW!”
The Michael Bloomberg of British hacks speaks again.
What a dhimmi/dummy.
“Red” Ken, dependable as Big Ben.
“...refrain from demonising Muslims...” Really. Muslims are trying to kill them and take control of their country and they aren’t supposed to demonize them. Who, then, are they supposed to demonize? The Hindus and Buddhists? What he is asking Londoners to do defies human nature. This is like King Alfred asking the British not to “demonize” the invading Vikings.
I’m about ready to demonise London mayors, personally. Of course, I’ve been demonising Muslims for some time now, so too late to put a stop to that.
btt
Great Britain is doomed.
I thought it was the Mayor of San Francisco.
Must be loonie tunes brothers.
Speechless is right.
Churchill he ain’t.
Londoners elected this leftist scumbag. They deserve what they get.
Is there any truth to the rumor I just started that Red Ken is going to ditch the ‘congestion fee’, and dismantle the camera network that enforces it, because it racistly fingered the Muslims that parked the car bombs?
Livingstone, Jimah Cahtah, Murtha, Leahy, Michael Moore, Posie O’Donnell, Chavez etc. should all get together in a group marriage for the defeat and death of Western civilization.
They’re all the same. They’ll still be defending the Muzzies when the first Islamofascist nuke goes off in America.

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, Falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.
