Sadiq Khan was a human rights lawyer before he entered politics, and spent his time defending radical Islamists and self-confessed terrorists. He also defended hate preacher Louis Farrakhan in 2002, arguing that the Nation of Islam leader should be allowed to enter the UK to embark on a propaganda tour.
Bidding to have the ban on Farrakhan entering the UK overturned – a ban that had been upheld by successive Home Secretaries since 1986 – Khan told the BBC: “He is preaching a message of self-discipline, self-reliance, atonement and responsibility….It’s outrageous and astonishing that the British Government is trying to exclude this man.”
Louis Farrakhan, according to the BBC; ‘was (a) man who had described Judaism as “a gutter religion”, characterised Christianity as an oppressive faith linked to the slavery of black people and called Adolf Hitler “great”.
Of course not. Liberal hypocrisy runs deep.
Sadiq Khan is now attempting to have President Trump barred from entering the UK, arguing that his “policies go against everything we stand for“, however rolling protests against the mayor and his pathetic response to the terror attack in London on the weekend suggest Londoners are waking up to the truth about their “liberal Muslim” mayor.
