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.

Sweet! Trump collects yet ANOTHER ringing endorsement!
It terrifies me too. It was a screen capture from a video... It was the most difficult, vomit inducing things I've seen. People have criticized me for posting that shot, and in some ways I don't blame them. However, America has to understand what we're dealing with. Every politician should be forced to see the video of the other three Chrisitans undergoing that Muslim ritual. If they did, they'd fire Ryan and his Muslim sympathizers in a heartbeat.
I wouldn’t trust that mayor as far as I could throw a stone.
“It is only in the common sense interests of our own homeland.”
The left’s diversity and social justice agenda takes precedence over any such common sense.
Odd how the godless left supports “religious freedom”.
If you look at the history of “Christian” Lebanon closely, you will see how it went from “normal” to “Muslim.” The same scenario is playing out in Europe, the UK in particular. The refugees come in, they overwhelm the local populace, they do NOT conform to the culture setting up their own, then there are enough of them to vote for their own government, then they all start wearing burkas and facing east forcing all others to or face death. Over and Over this happens and they don’t see it coming. Amazing blindness.
Look, you need to put some sort of alert on these photos, ok? You’ve done this before. There is not a person on FR who doesn’t know who and what these monsters are. Why don’t you put them up at the DUmmies and stop harassing ME with these hideous images.
Only in forms that do not fit in with the traditional religious views of rooted Americans. We are dealing with those whose every intent goes to dismantling American culture, tradition and continuity.
"Diversity" is all about homogenizing American culture with incongruous foreign culture, to facilitate that dismantling. "Social Justice" is all about destroying the natural social fabric.
The Left are totally consistent. They just do not ascribe to any form of morality which inhibits them tactically in any way. Truth is only one of a great many alternatives--only to be employed when useful, never otherwise--in the struggle to re-engineer society. They simply do not have what most of us would consider a "moral compass."
Yes. For once, Trump was trying to be diplomatic. However, the Muslim Mayor thought it would hurt his street cred. to be seen as accepting anything from Trump without immediately insulting him.
If Khan remains this dependent on looking like the threatening Jihad loving Muslim as found in Turkey, London will be greatly damaged, spiritually and financially.
I think Sharia has certain rules that do not allow paying interest or fees for lending money. An act known as Riba.
Someday you are going to see on America's streets and schools, images much worse than what's been posted in the past. Reality exists.
There is that word again:Extremists.
What is extreme or radical about practicing Islam the way Allah wants it practiced, and Muhammad and the Caliphs immediately following Muhammad practiced it.
Maybe mayor Khan is doing that by using Taqiyya on us Kafirs, to help spread Islam, and keep us naive Kafirs off balance.
Otherwise to me, mayor Khan is another of the many Muslim heretics,that will be killed by the Fundamentalists, when his usefulness is over. -Tom
No, idiot. And as someone who watched my neighborhood turn black on 9/11 (when it wasn’t turning pink), I don’t need a lecture from YOU about snowflakes. But I don’t have to wallow in blood-soaked photos like you seem to do. As I said, take your nasty photos over to the DUmmies and scare them - they need scaring.

This is the same jerk that called “moderate muslims” uncle Toms .

Agreed. I have no desire to see any images of beheadings & they shouldn’t be forced on us. I watched the Nick Berg beheading video & regret it to this day. HUGE mistake.
Did you hit abuse? I hit it earlier today on something else and don’t want to push my luck with the admins.
I’m sorry about the Nick Berg video. I remember that our local radio show host, John Gambling, played his screaming voice at the end. Shocking and unforgettable. We only need to come this way once - we don’t need to have it shoved in our face by strangers. No matter how well-meaning.
Splice the head chopper video with lbjs daisy girl commercial
That will show em
Talked to a muslim guy wo did the same.
Said 9/11 was wrong, and then gave the but word , to be followed by how Americans brought it on themselves.

Muslims are cunning little devils.
They use similar tactics to sell their cult. They start off by saying they use parts of both the Old Testament and the New Testament but add to it with their books. They say Jesus was a good prophet to hook the ignorant.
It’s a gutter religion.
The mayor is the same guy who was caught on video saying that moderate muslims are “Uncle Sams.”
Go screw some goats muzzie Mayor.
Mookabooking mooselimbs ARE the terrorists,
Not Christians, Jews, or even rock believers, it’s them damed moosies.
