nolhtairt 0 #1 May 6, 2016 What say you, our fellow Brits across the pond, about this? Just read the article for some background info and can see it was a contentious campaign with his opponent... http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/labours-khan-becomes-first-muslim-mayor-of-london-after-bitter-campaign/ar-BBsIQNy?li=BBnb7Kz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it shows a change in time in Europe! We can only pray for religion to die! That would be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #3 May 7, 2016 Jeez - you are demanding! The first post was after midnight on friday and you posted early on a saturday morning! I don't know enough about the policies etc to comment too much, but Saddiq Khan is a noted human right lawyer and from what I can see, a generally nice bloke. Zac Goldsmith is a standard tory (born with a silver spoon up his arse) who ran a very negative campaign basically alleging Khan to be a terrorist! Good result from what I can see.Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,595 #8 May 7, 2016 434Not one singel comment? The problem the anti Muslim crowd have is that now is putting their money where their mouths are. They can talk all they want about the horrors of electing Islamic politicians when their aren't any, but if 4 years of Mayor Khan doesn't turn one of the major western cities into a mini caliphate they really don't want to draw attention to it!Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Since islam and National Socialism were very much in lock step, the Godwin factor is marginal. National Socialism had an awful lot more to recommend it than does islam and its adherents. In precisely the same sense that card-carrying NSDAP members were often competent engineers, physicians and civil administrators, your odd muslim can turn out to have be quite competent at a variety of things. If he turns out to be a decent mayor, good for him. This has nothing to do with his being a follower of a perverted psychopath. BSBD, Winsor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakee 1,595 #10 May 7, 2016 Except that while it would be anathema for a Nazi to be pro gay rights, pro religious freedom, pro racial equality and generally pro civil liberties there are a number of centre left Muslim politicians who manage it quite well. Personally I think the only real repercussion of this victory (vs if he was a normal white guy) is that now whenever the tube drivers go on strike, or congestion charges go up or a new fucked up bike lane gets built, Londoners can shake their fists at the sky and shout Khaaaaaaaaan!Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Phil1111 1,182 #11 May 7, 2016 "In 2007, Keith Ellison of Minnesota became the first practicing Muslim to become a member of the United States Congress. He was joined by André Carson of Indiana following a special election on March 11, 2008." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Members_of_the_111th_United_States_Congress#Religious_demographics "An unprecedented number of Muslim Canadians ran in the 2015 Federal Election. With the Liberal surge nationally, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area, several of them won, including Canada's first Somali Canadian MP Ahmed Hussen and Canada's first Afghan Canadian MP Maryam Monsef. The majority of Muslim Canadians who will be coming to Parliament are newcomers to politics with the exception of Omar Alghabra and Yasmin Ratansi who were previously Liberal MPs. So far, we have confirmed 11 Muslim Canadian Candidates in total, the largest number in Canadian history. 10 were elected with the Liberal Party and 1 with the Conservative Party.

434 2 #18 May 7, 2016 When you see the life from a cell to a black hole with the gravity 6 millions times the sun, you know you are nothing! So for us to obay a god with stupid rules acting important makes us look stupid. What we can do, is acting like our planet is our mother, and behave like it! You figure out how that should be, but I hope that involves no more war, no more abusing mother earth, or the people or any other living being. We have to be involved in the natural cycle, but abusing it? No, and by the way, we are way to much people, and should stop vaccine, and other things that make humans live artificial! By the way, I know it is not realistic! But thats how we supposed to live. Just imagine the Dino´s eating to much trees, and farting to much. Are we there yet? Is that why the Dino´s died?

Bolas 5 #19 May 7, 2016 Or start from the beginning with conception and maternity changes. Just because we can help a morbidly obese woman have a child, should we or should we tell them that they need to lose weight first for the safety of themselves and the baby before we can help. Just because we can save/revive a premie, is that what's best? Instead of what we can do for people, maybe we should start looking at what's best for them and all of us. Now to get back on topic, what's this new mayor's stance on gay rights?Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
