A report in the Spectator magazine claims Sadiq Khan, Labour’s London Mayoral candidate, is playing the ‘Muslim Card’ in May’s election.
Recognising that Khan’s Islamic faith is disadvantageous in the wake of 9/11, the London 7th July attacks, Islamic State atrocities, Muslim migrants, sex attacks in Cologne and a rash of cases of Muslims grooming and trafficking young women, his advisors are trying to turn it to his advantage.
The Spectator’s Brendan O’Neill says Khan and his team are claiming it would send a ‘phenomenal’ message about London’s tolerance if voters were to elect Khan.
‘I thought politics was about voting for someone who had the same outlook as you?’ asks O’Neill. ‘Now it seems to be about voting for someone who isdifferent to you, to show you aren’t bigoted.’
He complains of the 45-year-old ‘Islamifying what ought to be a straight political contest.’ And O’Neill has a message for Khan: ‘You must prove yourself to London, not the other way round.’
‘Kuffar are cattle’
Muslim writer Mehdi Hassan (aged 37) has chipped in for Khan, saying his election would show Muslims can succeed and, disturbingly, that not to elect him would drive young Muslims (like Hassan presumably) into the arms of extremists. Vote Khan or you’ll be blown up.
Hassan works as a presenter on the Qatari Al-Jazeera channel and is astonisingly also political editor of the Huffington Post. Another Spectator article, this time by Douglas Murray, reports the fanatical Muslim describing ‘kuffar’ (unbelievers) as ‘people of no intelligence’ and ‘cattle’.
Women are prostitutes
It gets worse.
Last week, an advisor and aide to Sadiq Khan was suspended after comments emerged on his twitter account which were less than complimentary to homosexuals and women. Most of them are too disgusting or crass to reprint. Among the less offensive, in May 2012 Shueb Salar posted a tweet saying “currently hating on all you faggots who have finished uni”, and the next month he tweeted “f*** all you hoes”. ‘Hoe’, meaning ‘whore’ is a derogatory term for women popular in some subcultures. Salar also called women ‘bitches’.
Only when footage surfaced of Salar on a shooting weekend was he actually sacked, ostensibly for tweeting he could be a htiman. According to the Evening Standard, he posted a video online showing him firing a rifle and bragged about spending a weekend “shooting stuff with real guns, knives, crossbows and bow and arrows”. He thought it was funny to add the comments #I’mASecretHitman, #ShoutMeIfYouWantMeToTakeCareOfSomeone and #I’llMakeItLookLikeAnAccident.
Muslim attitudes
Salar’s views about women, let alone homosexuals, are routine among young Muslim men. Too many trials of Muslims involved in sexual crimes have revealed a deep contempt for women, particularly white women, who are seen as fair game, or as ‘hoes’. The mass sexual assaults in Cologne this New Year illustrate the point exactly.
Salar’s LinkedIn profile – at this time of writing – still says: ‘I assist Rt Hon Sadiq Khan MP in his Parliamentary duties, researching and assisting in the drafting of speeches, reports, press releases, briefings, Parliamentary questions, letters and email correspondence as and when required. I respond to enquiries from constituents, other politicians, the media, lobbyists and pressure groups. Topics include human rights, foreign affairs and all other current policy issues. Where necessary, I represent him at events/meetings and occasionally deal with some constituency casework.’
Muslim for Mayor?
Disturbingly, Sadiq Khan thought Shueb Salar was a fit and proper person to carry out those extensive duties. Either he checked on Salar and found his views acceptable or he didn’t and is incompetent. How many other Muslim aides does he employ? What are their views?
Khan voted for ‘gay marriage’ and abortion. He does not like Christians speaking out against Islam, voting for Tony Blair’s infamous Racial and Religious Hatred Bill. But outside Westminster, how far does his Islamic faith inform his view of the world, for example, of Israel, of the place of women?
The Salar story has sent out a ‘phenomenal message’ about Muslim misogyny, boorishness and intolerance. Will it influence the election result in May? Sadiq Khan’s decision to play the ‘Muslim Card’ may yet come back to haunt him.
Deut 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. (KJV – whenever you see ‘the LORD’ in the King James Version it stands for the actual name of the Almighty in the Hebrew text: ‘YHWH’, [ie NOT Allah!])
1Kings 12:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him…

Closet homosexuality and bestiality is rampant among Pakistani Muslims and is the reason for their hatred of women as during their sexual formative years they cannot have the contact with girls their own age to learn flirting and respect the way western youths learn.
Google keeps track of all users who log into Google and their statistics shows that Pakistani Muslim males vastly outweigh all other groups in seeking and accessing websites dealing in bestiality between men, women and animals.
Also wide experience and evidence shows that the ‘arranged and forced marriage’ system of the Muslims is highly likely to make homosexual/bestial men marry women and then hate them.
OK, now that alleged Google stat. Can you supply a weblink? You are no doubt well aware that Sadiq Khan and Shueb Salar are both of Pakistani origin and fluent in Urdu, hence your comment. However, you do not wish to be slagging off a whole bunch of people without evidence, do you?
The information is online and in various standard textbooks – but as I have worked alongside Muslims 50 years I do have an awful lot of personal insight into them.
When you see two Muslims in a car parked in a dark place don’t assume they are dealing drugs or stolen things as the truth is they will probably be engaged in sexual activity.
It is a curious feature of Muslims that they cover up “their own” women so fanatically, but often treat “other people’s” women so badly (they must be bad if they aren’t nicely covered up). Unfortunately, it seems an inescapable conclusion that the inaccessibility of their own virgin contemporaries sometimes leads them to pursue undesirable strategies elsewhere.
When it comes to disliking homosexuality as an ungodly activity, quite a few Christians agree with them.
It helps to be Mayor of London if you can persuade the electors that you are tolerant of all of them. Boris Johnson was very keen on presenting himself as the product of immigrant families (including Jews and Turks).
And Boris favoured the London Gay Pride parade.
I have seen it said that Boris did not actually achieve anything as mayor of London, but if he didn’t personally, his bureaucracy did in his name, and that’s fine by me. What he did was to be a unifying and generally very popular figurehead, which was probably the main part of the job or it could be.
Similarly, although I don’t personally like all his policies (especially not leaving the EU, which is an unexpected one from him), he ought to make a good prime minister unifying the country behind him and making good speeches, unlike the last Labour hopeful. If he left it to his skilled ministers to run the details of their departments instead of trying to do everything himself, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. He doesn’t need to have the experience and expertise to do all the jobs which have been allocated to other people. And I’m sure he he would be unforgettable at Prime Minister’s question time.
Looking ahead a bit, he ought to be able to cope with Charles III , too. I’m quite looking forward to it.
