A wave of extremist far-right movements with chilling echoes of the Nazis is being fueled by Donald Trump, writes Sadiq Khan on 80th anniversary of World War II.
The rise of far-right movements and leaders fueled by President Donald Trump, the global poster boy for white nationalism threatens to wipe out the lessons of World War II, London Mayor Sadiq Khan charged in a scathing essay Saturday.
An entire generation of brave men and women around the globe sacrificed everything to defeat the singular evil of Nazism and fascism, Khan wrote in The Observer to mark the 80th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of Poland that launched World War II.
But now, for the first time in more than 70 years, it seems the lessons of the second world war are genuinely at risk of being forgotten or, worse still, being rewritten, he added.
This comes as a new wave of extremist far-right movements and political parties are winning power and influence at alarming speed fueled by Donald Trump, the global poster-boy for white nationalism, Khan wrote.
In addition, democratic values, including the rule of law, a free press and independent judiciary are under siege, he wrote. Vulnerable, often minority, communities are being demonized ... and in appalling new parallels with the horrors of the past, migrants, refugees, people of color, LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities are bearing the brunt, he added.
Hungarys Viktor Orbán has systematically destroyed the independence of both the judiciary and the press institutions that are also under daily verbal attack from Trump and other far-right leaders around the world, Khan noted.
We owe it those lost in World War II to defend the ideals they died for and ensure that the more peaceful and stable world they built lasts for generations to come, he declared.
There was no immediate response from Trump, but he has blasted Khan several times in the past, including insulting him as a stone-cold loser as the president headed to London for a state visit in June.
When did any Muslim ever admit that the Holocaust even happened?
At one time, Japan did not allow muslims in their Country. I do not know what it is like now.
Islam Sucks.

London Mayor: Spouting Taqiyya at its finest.
Is this one of those instances where someone labels the other something the accuser is actually doing?
Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave with Muslims all over America and Europe.
Nipple-height Khan speaks...
Kin Kahn needs to plug his pie hole with a kidney pie then drive a steak through it.
WTF ever, yuh circus freak.
You are a cheap rendition of a midway carnie attraction
No on talks about race more than you jack wagons
The rest us look at our fellow human beings as brothers and sisters, created by the One Almighty Father, who teaches us sympathy, empathy for each other when downtrodden and to be cheerleaders in our success.
You keep talking crap about some white movement as if it were born yesterday.
It wasn’t born yesterday but it was born in the millennia of human existence.
Yet, today we see people of allnraces, in this country and around who are successful, not because of their race but, that wasn’t a factor in free society’s
You boo chit, clap trap actually hurts minorities by allowing them to give themsleves alabies for their failures to think well enough of themselves that can be anyone they wish.
You amputate a man’s ambition by saying they can’t make well enough of themselves because of an endemic external feature
Why don’t you start helping them shape their minds and train themselves for better futures instead of dropping by the side of the road, consigned to watching others drive by on their way to succesville
You are a punk who made it despite your race.
Teach others to become better for themselves by exporting a belief in themsleves and determined they will rise to whatever level they desire in life by controlling their thoughts.
Tard...
Can’t stand people like you and I have recently been kicking old friends to the curb because of thus idiotic clap trap that shouldn’t be a subject of contrived discourse in the American Society
You are an azzhole. That takes only you thinking a certain way and there so many others like you and yes, from all races.
You are a loser, teaching other people how to have loser thoughts...

My daughter was teaching English in Japan for some years and her sense of the Japanese attitude is that the Japanese think Islam is a very weird religion. They still do not like allowing Muslims in. Before my daughter left Japan, she said that a lot of Japanese were not happy with the German govt. It seems that the Japanese have some sort of deal with coutries which have a population that are not trouble-makers. So, they can easily get into Japan. Germany was one of these; but, after Merkel let in a million of these folks, they started traveling to Japan on German Visas. The Japanese were unhappy as they do not consider these Syrian Muslims to be "German".
I think I saw an article recently that reported a lot of countries were complaining that Japan did not take in enough Muslim refugees last year. I believe they took in 2. That was it. So, they still seem to be smart about who they let in.
The KKK were anything but globalist
You mean like what the Democrats do all the time to Republicans?
The Mohammedans are not Adolph’s “descendants.” They wee into Hebrewicide long before Mein Kampf.
After all the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits and Star Trek in my childhood, I never could visualize seeing a MULSIM Mayor of London, England.
Unreal.
And not a quiet moderate interfaith type, a loudmouth, vile, slandering nutjob. Stupid Londoners.
London’s muzzie boy is a big fat liar.
