London Elects First Muslim Mayor, Sadiq Khan Of The Labour Party

In London's mayoral race, the Labour Party's Sadiq Khan beat Conservative Party candidate Zac Goldsmith to become the city's first Muslim mayor.

Khan's religion became a flashpoint throughout the campaign. The AP writes that "Khan, who calls himself 'the British Muslim who will take the fight to the extremists,' accused Goldsmith of trying to scare and divide voters in a proudly multicultural city of 8.6 million people — more than 1 million of them Muslim."

Goldsmith responded by accusing Khan of "playing the race card," the BBC reported in January.

As the Two-Way reported earlier this week, the two candidates occupied very different spaces in the political and social world:

"Khan, who is Muslim, was a human rights lawyer before joining Parliament. His parents immigrated to London from Pakistan. His father was a bus driver in the city for more than 25 years, according to his campaign website.

"As Lauren Frayer reports for NPR, Khan 'was born in South London, one of eight children. The family lived in public housing.'

"Goldsmith, an environmental activist, used to edit The Ecologist magazine. His father was billionaire Sir James Goldsmith.

" 'They're the two faces of London, rich and poor, immigrant and blue blood,' Lauren notes."

In his victory speech, Khan was quoted by The Guardian as saying that he's proud London chose "hope over fear, and unity over division."

I do think with any minority candidates that tokenism plays a role in their election, and most use it to their advantage

Labour in the UK gets the most Muslim votes, and they've had some really stupid Muslims representing the party. Like this guy.



"Just incase there are any journalists here, that's not my objective. But there should be a Muslim parliment."
Take out "inshallah" and he did say it's his objective, every Muslim voter knows that.

Hopefully the need to please and keep all his votes isn't more important than actual issues that's all I can say.

Democracy is to capitalism what religion is to feodalism. The opium of the people. Nothing important is decided in ballot boxes.

That's why genders and sexuality are such hot topics for most people here. They uncounsciously realized that their vote can't change anything related to economy, so they switch to absolutely insignificant topics where they're given some influence like marriage and cling to it like their lives depend on it.

What are you trying to say, I don't get it. Who's elected doesn't matter, they're elected with money and nobody's giving candidates money out of generosity, convictions or whatever. That's why the politics stay globally the same no matter what "side" or party is in power. Unemployment increases, workers get poorer, owners get richer.

You seem to be kinda obsessed by your religion and the way other people see it mate. Chill, it's just an imaginary friend you chose to believe in, don't let it take over your life. Nobody's bitter here except you.

Buddhists, Christians, Atheists, Kardashian-lovers, bronies, everybody non-muslim.
In the end you are nothing but a heathen destined to burn for eternity in hell. A muslim will always choose a brother in Allah above you. After all, even with their mistakes they are the saved, they are Allah's children while we are 'the other', scorned by Allah.

Do not give your countries to people who believe you and your people are worthless heathens. Britain, Germany, Sweden are lost. USA, do what you do best and don't be a pussy.

Well according to the 2011 census London is roughly 60% white, 19% Asian, and 13% black.
Religion wise Muslims only make up around 12% of the population.
However the increase was significant over the last 10 years but it's still nowhere near the majority.

What matters is Muslims in the UK. As I said, mp's know how to pander to Muslims to get their votes.

Example: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/lozells-councillor-tells-former-edl-10765096

No freedom to talk about Islam = religion (Islam) controlling politics. Islam and labour go hand in hand, it's really fucked up.

Funny because every time there is another news report about rape or other crimes they talk about 'Asian' youths, I wonder what they mean by that.

I think you're talking to the wrong guy bro, I'm one of the few ones here who isn't a self-proclaimed islamophobic. It's not exactly that I like islam, I just hate other religions too. If you actually used your brain for a second you would have noticed that answer to Raimu4 you quoted was basically me poking fun at his stupid fear mongering "muslims are animals" post.

That's exactly what I was talking about btw, you're starting to link everything to your religion out of some media induced paranoia. I'm not bashing you because you're a muslim, I'm bashing you because you say really stupid things.
