Muslim favourite to run London after racially charged campaign

Sadiq Khan, a Muslim lawmaker from Britain's opposition Labour Party, is the strong favourite to win London's mayoral election on Thursday after a bitter contest marked by religious tensions and accusations of racism.

Polls show Khan, the son of a bus driver, is as much as 20 percentage points ahead of rival Conservative Zac Goldsmith in the race to run one of the world's top financial centres. If he wins, he will succeed current Conservative mayor Boris Johnson to become the first Muslim to head a major western capital.

London's population of 8.6 million is among the most cosmopolitan in the world and it is rare for identity politics to enter British campaigning.

My usual sources are barenakedislam.com and jihadwatch.org.

The latter is run by that `Islamophobe’ Robert Spencer, whom your Home Secretary denied entry into Britain even as violence-preaching imams get admitted.

You know that I fear for the future of Britain and don’t want it to go the way Germany is going right now. I don’t criticize Britain per se, because it is still our mother culture despite that 18th Century kerfuffle.

BTW I’ve read a lot of criticism about Sadiq Khan & none of it has to do with his being Labour.

Yes, America has its own Muslim problem, aided & abetted by our Tnediserp. However what Muslims here fear that the infidel majority is armed to the teeth. That puts a damper on their public manifestations, so CAIR & the Muslim Brotherhood bore from within. Ironically, the majority Middle Eastern population in Dearborn is not Muslim. But we don’t want a Malmo, either.

It’s not a matter of get that log out of your eye before you get that speck out of your neighbor’s. Really isn’t. If I didn’t feel kinship with the British people I wouldn’t even bring the matter up. Peace?
