Sadiq Khan After Terror Attack: ‘Our Strength Is Our Diversity’

[E. Pluribus Unum]

London mayor Sadiq Khan told reporters that diversity is one of the British capital’s strengths in the wake of the London Bridge attack, and that all great cities are targets for terrorists.

“Look, I’m mayor of the greatest city in the world, and one of our strengths is our diversity,” he told reporters shortly the attack by Usman Khan, a convicted radical Islamic terrorist who had been freed from prison on a tag after serving less than half of a 16-year term, which left two dead and three injured.

“But we do know there are people out there who hate out diversity, hate what we stand for, and are trying to seek to divide us”, he added — although his grounds for appearing to suggest that terrorists despise Britain for being diverse were unclear.

Mayor Khan then flirted with controversy with a statement echoing an earlier, infamous former claim of his with respect to terror attacks — i.e. that “part and parcel of living in a great global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things” — by telling reporters: “Look, I know, speaking to colleagues around the world, mayors of other great cities, that we’re all targets for terrorists.”

Some critics of the Mayor of London have suggested that such attacks only appear to be a feature of life in cities such as London, while in a relatively homogenous place like the Japanese capital of Tokyo they are exceedingly rare — although not entirely unknown.

Simple solution. Everyone carry a gun.

Diversity causes major wars you idiot

[Gay State Conservative]

IIRC that pig fornicating moslem once observed that terrorism is part of living in a major city.What he failed to mention was that Tokyo has never experienced a jihadi attack.

I guess Tokyo doesn't qualify as a major city in his squalid little mind.

[gibsonguy]

” and that all great cities are targets for terrorists.”

And some cities even have them as Mayor. London for example.

[dfwgator]

Hey London, you get what you vote for.

[bramps]

I fully support intervening in London’s next election.

American tourists, choose wisely...

[Vision]

Mayor Khan is a perverse evil fool and those who vote for him get what they deserve.

[Texas Eagle]

British to English translation: Nothing to see here. Move along.

[mewzilla]

Don’t hold your breath. The UK won’t even give its bobbies loaded weapons.

“Look, I know, speaking to colleagues around the world, mayors of other great cities, that we’re all targets for terrorists.”

What do you mean "we" Paleface? You are surrounded by armed security and the only time you'll ever come face-to-face with a radical islamist is when you look in the mirror.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Terror attacks are just a part of living in London. Like traffic jams.

Meh.

[lodi90]

No mention of “hate” here by the mayor. Now why could that be?

[JPJones]

Sounds like a bunch of taqiyya.

[Mad Dog009]

Some are armed. In fact. I saw a British version of our Swat team when I was in Nottingham. Full automatic weapons! Their beat cops still carry their "Assault Whistles.

[george76]

taqiyya.

[laweeks]

THERE IS NO STRENGTH IN DIVERSITY. THE VERY NAME DIVERSITY IS IN CONTRAST.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Diversity is not a strength, it is something to be overcome. It is a challenge. It is also a stumbling block. Doesn’t all the terrorist attacks in London prove this? Or do cause and effect have nothing to do with one another?

[Uncle Miltie]

Diversity murders!
