“I think what we’ve shown — and I hope it’s a lesson that Hillary and others in America take on board, hope does ‘trump’ fear, forgive the pun.” How absolutely grand. The hard-Left routinely derides those who are concerned about jihad terrorism for their “fear,” as if being afraid of being murdered by Islamic jihadis were some kind of character defect. Very well. They elected Sadiq Khan, and Hillary Clinton may well be elected also by campaigning against “fear,” and we will all march unafraid into our glorious multicultural future. Including, of course, Islamic jihad terrorists.
“Sadiq Khan pledges to help Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump,” by Jon Stone, The Independent, May 12, 2016:
Sadiq Khan has offered to help Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump – pledging his successful campaign as a “template” to hers.
Mr Khan, the new Mayor of London, said he had successfully beaten the Conservatives’ “Donald Trump approach” to elections in last weeks’ vote.
“I think what we’ve shown — and I hope it’s a lesson that Hillary and others in American [sic] take on board, hope does ‘trump’ fear, forgive the pun,” he told reporters at the capital’s City Hall, according to the Politico website.
He said he was planning to travel to the US before the end of the year due to the threat of Mr Trump’s proposed policy of banning all Muslims from traveling to the US.
Mr Khan’s election has attracted interest from around the world on account of his election as the first Muslim mayor of a major western capital city.
Mr Trump, the presumptive nominee for the Republican presidential candidacy, commented on Mr Khan’s election by saying he would make an exception for him to visit the US.
But Mr Khan rejected the offer. “The idea of making an exception for me because I’m the Mayor of London demonstrates how little they understand,” he said.
Like failed Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith, Mr Trump has been accused of running a “racist” campaign by singling out people for travel bans on account of their faith.
Mr Goldsmith was accused of using “dog whistle” tactics to repeatedly draw attention to Mr Khan’s Muslim faith – as well as attempts to link him with Islamic extremists….

Stuart Smith says
Looking after the city of London is his remit, I will be on his case to see if any money spent goes toward Clinton, typical socialist he is.
bytheway says
Another big concern is when Turkey become part of the EU…Khan is going to be thrilled that the building of the caliphate is in full swing. Britain has got serious muslim problems ahead….sadly, this is only the beginning.
Lion of Judah's Cub says
Khan is a con artist.
bonnie loranger says
I agree and who cares about the mayor of London anyway,
skai says
Lion of Judah’s cub ” Khan is a con artist ” You are right also Don’t forget that majority of Muslims are con artists . Learn the meaning of ”al-taqiyya” can Google it of go to YouTube and type it in search box ”al-taqiyya”
Angemon says
I’m not sure if Sad Khan’s campaign will help Hillary. From what I’ve heard, Republican turnout is rising and Democratic turnout is decreasing. Wait, has Hillary secured the nomination?

KnowThyEnemy says
Never underestimate the enemy, and never overestimate yourself! The Left holds great sway over the masses and the Leftist media knows exactly how to trap people in their lies. This article itself is a good example. It gives the impression that Trump understands little and does not know what he is doing, and that his campaign is based solely on racism and xenophobia. (Whether this is true or not is irrelevant, what is relevant is that the media wants people to believe this so that they are turned off by Trump, and so Democrats can win).
Another example is from yesterday’s news that “Trump says he will backtrack on his Muslim ban”. What Trump really said is that the Muslim-entry ban would be lifted as soon as it meets its intended purpose. (Apparently Trump thinks that this ban against Muslims will make everyone sit down and think, and soon everyone will know exactly where the problems lie and then the ban can be lifted.) But the game that the media is playing is to make people feel that Trump flip-flops on issues and hence is not reliable and not worth voting for.
Another thing that I have noticed regarding the Left is that ever since Trump’s candidacy, they keep maligning him with one thing or another and never stop. The fact that they haven’t had much success so far does not discourage them. They continue to smear him any chance they get (see above two examples). It is as if they know that if they keep throwing mud, sooner or later it will start sticking, and then the winds will turn around to favor them (or at least the winds will stop favoring Trump).
For this reason the wise thing for us to do is to continue our efforts to 1) campaign against the Left, and 2) campaign for Trump all they way into November! Only then will the fascists…. err Democrats be defeated!

American politics is none of his business. Anyone been to London recently? I have. Muslims have taken over. That’s his goal for the US.
Jaladhi says
How an foreigner can interfere in our domestic affairs? Khan has no business butting his nose in our Presidential elections.
Charli Main says
That arsehole Obama stuck his nose in British business by making veiled threats to damage British trade, if Britain left the European Union.
To be fair, he probably did it to help his Muslim arse licking pal, David Cameron´s campaign to stay in the EU
Ex-muslim says
America elected a muslim marxist (Obama) to be their president and London elected a muslim
jihadist in Western suit to be their mayor. The mentality behind this cultural bankruptcy is one and the same!
Thomas says
“The idea of making an exception for me because I’m the Mayor of London demonstrates how little they understand,”
That is correct! How little the majority of Americans understand about the many ways a believer’s jihad obligation can be achieved…
Westman says
In his Mayoral acceptance speech Sidiq Khan declared, “the politics of fear are simply not welcome in our city!”
That phrase may come haunt his term of office. Mr. Khan might be likened to someone of great talent being born related to a mafia “family” who, himself, has great moral character yet has no choice but to associate with others of less character within the “family”.
There is no question that some in the “family” will demonstrate on the streets of London with signs, slogans, and chants; calling for overthrowing of the very system that elected him. Some others will use violence, rape, and killing against London “non-family” citizens; in effect using the “politics of fear” in Khan’s fair city.
What he does in response to “the politics of fear” promulgated by the “family” will be heard decibels above his speeches.
Now that Mr. Khan has legitimately earned the power of London’s Mayor, the “family” will come calling.
Will he perform as, secular on the outside – secular on the inside, secular on the outside – “family” on the inside, “family” on the outside – secular on the inside, or, “family” on the outside – “family” on the inside?
In relation to Donald Trump, have we already heard, “the wrath of khan”?
dumbledoresarmy says
I bet that Sadiq Khan has never heard of G K Chesterton. Chesterton wrote two books that bear careful re-reading at the present time – “The Flying Inn” (1915) and “The Napoleon of Notting Hill” (which is in fact about local patriotism). He also wrote a poem about the Battle of Lepanto (1571) in which an Ottoman Muslim fleet was defeated; and a poem called “The Crusader Returns from Captivity”.
In the opening chapter of “The Napoleon of Notting Hill”, Chesterton writes:
“The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children’s games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up.
“And one of the games to which it is most attached is called “Keep to-morrow dark,” and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) “Cheat the Prophet.”
“The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation.
“The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely.
“They then go and do something else.
“That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.
“For human beings, being children, have the childish wilfulness and the childish secrecy.
“And they never have from the beginning of the world done what the wise men have seen to be inevitable.
“They stoned the false prophets, it is said; but they could have stoned true prophets with a greater and juster enjoyment.
“Individually, men may present a more or less rational appearance, eating, sleeping, and scheming.
“But humanity as a whole is changeful, mystical, fickle, delightful. Men are men, but Man is a woman…”.
“But in the beginning of the twentieth century the game of Cheat the Prophet was made far more difficult than it had ever been before.
“The reason was, that there were so many prophets and so many prophecies, that it was difficult to elude all their ingenuities.
“… In the beginning of the twentieth century you could not see the ground for clever men.
“They were so common that a stupid man was quite exceptional, and when they found him, they followed him in crowds down the street and treasured him up and gave him some high post in the State.
“And all these clever men were at work giving accounts of what would happen in the next age, all quite clear, all quite keen-sighted and ruthless, and all quite different.
“And it seemed that the good old game of hoodwinking your ancestors could not really be managed this time, because the ancestors neglected meat and sleep and practical politics, so that they might meditate day and night on what their descendants would be likely to do.
“But the way the prophets of the twentieth century went to work was this. They took something or other that was certainly going on in their time, and then said that it would go on more and more until something extraordinary happened. And very often they added that in some odd place that extraordinary thing had happened, and that it showed the signs of the times….”.
All these clever men were prophesying with every variety of ingenuity what would happen soon, and they all did it in the same way, by taking something they saw “going strong,” as the saying is, and carrying it as far as ever their imagination could stretch. This, they said, was the true and simple way of anticipating the future….
“And it did certainly appear that the prophets had put the people (engaged in the old game of Cheat the Prophet) in a quite unprecedented difficulty. It seemed really hard to do anything without fulfilling some of their prophecies.
“But there was, nevertheless, in the eyes of labourers in the streets, of peasants in the fields, of sailors and children, and especially women, a strange look that kept the wise men in a perfect fever of doubt. They could not fathom the motionless mirth in their eyes. They still had something up their sleeve; they were still playing the game of Cheat the Prophet….”.
It is, by the way, rather my hope and prayer, at the moment, that millions of ordinary unwashed Americans, the people that all the clever people like to look down on and make fun of, the people whom Oriana Fallaci liked and respected and wrote about so splendidly and dubbed “the Freed Plebs” (in her book “The Rage and the Pride”) are busy getting ready to play one magnificent game of “Cheat the Prophet”.
PS I miss Oriana, right now, more than ever. Imagine if she had been living now. Had she been alive in the presidency of Obama she would surely have sought to interview him .. I can just imagine the lightning swipe of her claws, and a splat, and an explosion of feathers, such as happens when a peregrine falcon stoops upon a pigeon. (The woman who bearded Khomeini and Arafat and Gaddafi in their dens would surely have made mincemeat of Obama). And *she* is the person I would have wanted to interview Trump. She would have asked him sensible questions.
dumbledoresarmy says
And since I have mentioned Oriana Fallaci – has anybody considered asking Donald Trump, he who is the quintessential New Yorker, whether he has read (or even just heard of) her two books, “The Rage and the Pride” and “The Force of Reason?
Those Americans here who have decided to support him should, perhaps, consider asking that question of his staffers.
He says he wants to make America great again. Well, in “The Rage and the Pride” there is a magnificent excursus in which Oriana Fallaci, that passionate Italian, explains exactly what she loves about America, things – and persons, and ideas – that have made America great.
Frankly, it’s worthy of being read in American high schools, to remind them how their country, at its best, can appear to an intelligent and sympathetic expat who has taken the trouble to inform herself about the main points in its history.
Look, I think I’ll quote some of it. (The original, in both Italian and English, can be read at the link provided).
http://italian.about.com/library/fallaci/blfallaci01i.htm
“…What are the symbols of American strength, wealth, power and modernity?
“Certainly not jazz and rock and roll, not chewing-gum or hamburgers, Broadway or Hollywood. It’s their skyscrapers. Their Pentagon. Their science. Their technology.
“Those impressive skyscrapers, so tall, so beautiful that while you raise your eyes to gaze at them you almost forget the pyramids and the divine buildings of our past.
“Those gigantic airplanes, oversized, which they now use as they once used sailing ships or trucks because everything here is moved by airplane. Everything. The mail, fresh fish, ourselves. (And don’t forget that they invented the air war. Or at least they’re the ones who developed it to the point of absurdity.) That terrifying Pentagon, that fortress which scares you just looking at it. That all–present, all–powerful science. That chilling technology that in a few short years has completely changed our daily lives, our millennial ways of communicating, eating, living. And where did he strike them, the reverend Osama Bin Laden? In the skyscrapers and in the Pentagon. How? With airplanes, with science and technology.
“By the way: do you know what gets me the most about this wretched multi–millionaire, this AWOL playboy who instead of courting blonde princesses and running wild in the night clubs (as he used to do in Beirut when he was 20 years old) enjoys himself by killing people in the name of Mohammed and Allah? The fact that his endless wealth comes from the earnings of a corporation specializing in demolition, and that he himself is a demolitions expert. Demolition is an American specialty.
“When we met I found you almost stupefied by the heroic efficiency and admirable unity with which the Americans have faced this Apocalypse.
“That’s right. Despite all the shortcomings that always get rubbed in their face—that I myself always rub in their face (though those of Europe, and of Italy in particular, are even more serious)—America is a country with important things to teach us.
“And speaking of heroic efficiency, let me sing a paean to the Mayor of New York. That Rudolph Giuliani to whom we Italians should kneel in gratitude. Because he has an Italian last name and an Italian origin and he makes us look good before the whole world.
“Rudolph Giuliani is a great mayor, one of the greatest. And that’s coming from someone who is never happy with anything or anyone, starting with myself. He’s a mayor worthy of another great mayor with an Italian last name, Fiorello la Guardia, and many of our mayors ought to go and study under him. They ought to come to him with bowed heads, or better with ash on their heads, and ask him: “Signor Giuliani, sir, please tell us how it’s done.”
“He doesn’t delegate his duties to others, no. He doesn’t waste his time with bullshit and greed. He doesn’t split himself between the tasks of a mayor and those of a minister or deputy (is anybody listening in the three cities of Stendhal—Naples, Florence and Rome?).
“He ran over there immediately, and immediately entered the second tower, at the risk of being turned to ashes with all the others. He only made it out by a hair and only by chance.
“And in the space of four days he put this city back on its feet. A city with nine and a half million inhabitants, mind you, and almost two million in Manhattan alone. How he did it, I don’t know. He’s sick like me, the poor man. The cancer that comes and returns has got him, too. And, like me, he pretends to be healthy: he works anyway. But I work at a desk, for God’s sake, sitting down!
“He, on the other hand…He looked like a general who joins the battle in person. A soldier who charges with his bayonet: “Come on, people, come on!!! Let’s roll up our sleeves, move!”
“But he could do it because those people were, are, like him. People without airs and without laziness, my father would have said, and with balls.
“As for the admirable ability to unite, the almost martial compactness with which the Americans respond to disaster and to the enemy, well: I have to admit that then and there I was astounded as well. I knew, yes, that it had exploded at the time of Pearl Harbor, that is when the people huddled around Roosevelt and Roosevelt entered the war against the Germany of Hitler and the Italy of Mussolini and the Japan of Hirohito. I had caught a whiff of it, yes, after Kennedy’s assassination….
“But that had been followed by the war in Vietnam, the lacerating rift caused by the war in Vietnam, and in a certain sense it had reminded me of their Civil War of a century and a half ago. So, when I saw whites and blacks crying in each other’s arms—and I mean in each other’s arms—when I saw Democrats and Republicans arm in arm singing “God Bless America”, when I saw them drop all their differences, I was flabbergasted. ..”.
“
dumbledoresarmy says
More:
“And having said this, let me explain where the ability to unite that characterizes the Americans comes from.
“It comes from their patriotism.
“I don’t know whether in Italy you saw and understood what happened in New York when Bush went to thank the rescue men (and women) who are digging in the ruins of the two towers trying to save some survivor but only coming up with the occasional nose or finger. In spite of this, they do it without giving up.
“Without resigning themselves, so that if you ask them how they do it they say: “I can allow myself to be exhausted, but not to be defeated.”
“All of them. The young, the very young, the old, the middle aged. White, black, yellow, brown, purple…You saw them, didn’t you? While Bush was thanking them all they did was wave their little American flags, raise their clenched fists, and roar: “USA! USA!” In a totalitarian country I’d have thought: “Look how nicely organized this was by the Powers That Be!”
“Not in America. In America you don’t organize these things. You don’t manage them, you don’t command them. Especially in a disenchanted metropolis like New York and with workers like New York workers.
“New York workers are real pieces of work. Freer than the wind. They don’t even obey their unions.
“But if you touch their flag, or their Patria…In English the word Patria doesn’t exist. To say Patria you have to put two words together. Father Land. Mother Land. Native Land. Or you can simply say My Country. But they have the noun “patriotism.” They have the adjective “patriotic.” And apart from France, I can’t imagine a country more patriotic than America. God! I was so moved to see those workers clenching their fists and waving their flags and roaring USA–USA–USA, without anyone ordering them to….”…
“Well let me tell you something. There’s a big difference between a country in which the flag is waved only by hooligans in a stadium and a country where it’s waved by the entire population. Waved, for example, by indomitable workers who dig in the ruins to come up with an ear or nose of the creatures slaughtered by the sons of Allah. Or to gather the ground coffee.
“The truth is that America is a special place, my friend. A country to envy, to be jealous of, for reasons that have nothing to do with wealth et cetera.
“It’s special because it was born out of a need of the soul, the need to have a homeland, and out of the most sublime idea that Man has ever conceived: the idea of liberty, or rather of liberty married to the idea of equality.
“It’s special also because the idea of liberty wasn’t fashionable at the time. Nor was the idea of equality. Nobody was talking about these things but a few philosophers of the so–called Enlightenment.
“You couldn’t find these concepts anywhere except in big expensive books released in installments and called Encyclopedias.
“And apart from the writers or the other intellectuals, apart from the princes and the lords who had the money to buy the big book or the books that inspired the big book, who knew anything about the Enlightenment?
“The Enlightenment wasn’t something you could eat! Not even the revolutionaries of the French Revolution were talking about it, seeing how the French Revolution didn’t start until 1789, thirteen years after the American Revolution exploded in 1776. (Another detail that the anti–Americans of the good–it–serves–America–right school ignore or pretend to forget. Bunch of hypocrites!)..”.
dumbledoresarmy says
And yet more, Oriana, in The Rage and Pride, continuing:
“What’s more, it’s [that is, America is] a special country, a country to envy, because that idea was understood by often illiterate and certainly uneducated farmers.
“The farmers of the American colonies.
“And because it was materialized by a small group of extraordinary men.
“By men of great culture, great quality. The Founding Fathers. Do you have any idea who the Founding Fathers were, the Benjamin Franklins and the Thomas Jeffersons and the Thomas Paines and the John Adamses and the George Washingtons and so on? These weren’t the small–time lawyers (“avvocaticchi” as Vittorio Alfieri rightly called them) of the French Revolution! These weren’t the brooding and hysterical executioners of the Terror, the Marats and the Dantons and the Saint Justs and the Robespierres!
“These were people, these Founding Fathers, who knew Greek and Latin like our own Italian teachers of Greek and Latin (assuming there still are any) will never know them. People who had read Aristotle and Plato in Greek, who had read Seneca and Cicero in Latin, and who had studied the principles of Greek democracy like not even the Marxists of my day studied the theory of surplus value. (Assuming they really did study it.) Jefferson even knew Italian. (He called it “Toscano”.) He spoke and read in Italian with great fluency. In 1774 as a matter of fact, along with the two thousand vine plants and the thousand olive trees and the music paper which was rare in Virginia, the Florentine Filippo Mazzei brought him multiple copies of a book written by a certain Cesare Beccaria entitled “Of Crimes and Punishments.” As for the self–taught Franklin, he was a genius. Scientist, printer, editor, writer, journalist, politician, inventor. In 1752 he discovered the electric nature of lightning and invented the lightning rod. Is that enough for you?
“And it was with these extraordinary leaders, these men of great quality, that the often illiterate and certainly uneducated farmers rebelled against England in 1776. They fought the War of Independence, the American Revolution.
“Well, despite the muskets and the gun powder, despite the death toll that is the cost of every war, they didn’t do it with the rivers of blood of the future French Revolution. They didn’t do it with the guillotine and massacres at Vandea.
“They did it with a piece of paper that, along with the need of the soul, the need to have a homeland, put into effect the sublime idea of liberty—or rather of liberty married to quality. The Declaration of Independence. “We hold these Truths to be self–evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men…”
“And that piece of paper that we’ve all been copying well or badly from the French Revolution on, or from which we’ve drawn our inspiration, is still the backbone of America. The vital lymph of this nation.
“You know why? Because it turns the plebes into the People.
“Because it invites them, rather orders them, to govern themselves, to express their own individuality, to pursue their own happiness.
“All the opposite of what communism did, prohibiting people to rebel, to govern themselves, to express themselves, to get rich, and setting up His Majesty the State in place of the customary kings.
“My father used to say, “Communism is a monarchic regime, and it’s an old–school monarchy. Because it cuts off men’s balls. And when you cut off a man’s balls, he’s no longer a man.” He also used to say that instead of freeing the plebes, communism turned everyone into plebes. It made everyone starve to death.
“Well, in my view America frees the plebes.
“Everyone is a plebe there. White, black, yellow, brown, purple, stupid, intelligent, poor, rich.
“Actually the rich are the most plebeian of all. Most of the time they’re such boors! Crude, ill–mannered. You can tell immediately that they’ve never read Galateo, that they’ve never had anything to do with refinement and good taste and sophistication. In spite of the money they waste on clothes, for example, they’re so inelegant as to make the Queen of England look chic by comparison.
“But they are freed, by God.
“And in this world there is nothing stronger or more powerful than freed plebes.
“You will always get your skull cracked when you go up against the Freed Plebe.
“And they all got their skulls cracked by America: English, Germans, Mexicans, Russians, Nazis, Fascists, Communists. Even the Vietnamese got theirs cracked in the end, when they had to come to terms after their victory so that now when a former president of the United States goes there to visit they’re in seventh heaven. “Bienvenu, Monsieur le President, bienvenu!”
The problem is that the Vietnamese don’t pray to Allah. …”. END
Now, to repeat, re-read this, very carefully, this from Oriana Fallaci, who knew Americans, who knew New York, who saw New York in one of its darkest hours.
“…Well, in my view America frees the plebes.
“Everyone is a plebe there. White, black, yellow, brown, purple, stupid, intelligent, poor, rich.
“Actually the rich are the most plebeian of all. Most of the time they’re such boors! Crude, ill–mannered.

“You will always get your skull cracked when you go up against the Freed Plebe..”.
ElderlyZionist says
Dumbledoresarmy, I love you. That was a fine rant. Thank you for reminding us of Oriana Fallaci’s gifts and insights, today when we need Marianne, we need La Pucelle.
What a choice we have.
Hillary Clinton: Obama’s Secretary of State, a liar from the beginning, the epitome of everything that is wrong with American politics. Fast and Furious, IRS targeting, Benghazi, all the cover-ups. Pretty much Satan incarnate. Completely sold out.
Donald Trump: a spoiled rich kid who increased his fortune building gambling casinos in New Jersey (how mobbed-up is that?), a clown known nation-wide from reality TV. We faintly hope that he is secretly a philosopher king, a patriot and a statesman, because there is no other choice.
But neither of them will break America. And better days will come, because we will bring them.
Jack Diamond says
and, keeping in the spirit of encouragement under fire, from “The Force of Reason”:
“Have we already lost, in the West, or not? Perhaps not. I say so having in my mind’s eyes the glorious show that 2004 New Year’s Eve the city of New York offered the world in Times Square. Many were afraid of a nuclear attack, that New Year’s Eve in New York…the city had never lived in such an alarm…I didn’t expect to see many people..Times Square had seemed to me an immense open-air prison. Checkpoints, watchtowers, metal-detector arches. Roadblocks, crash barriers…yet no less than a million people stayed there. The square wasn’t enough to hold the crowd…but the finest thing wasn’t even that. It was the joyousness, at the same time unrestrained and calculated, which electrified them. The provocative insolence with which everybody reacted to the risk of another September 11.
“I savoured the salt of hope. The same hope I feel when I look at the photos transmitted by the probe seeking life on Mars, while looking at them I think: we cannot lose. We cannot lose because Islam is a pond. And a pond is a cavity full of stagnant water. Water that never moves, never runs, never purifies itself, never becomes clean, never flows toward the sea and reaches the sea. In fact the pond pollutes easily, and even as a watering pool for cattle is worthless. It poisons, it kills. The pond does not love Life. It loves Death. Which is why kamikazes’ mothers celebrate their sons’ death and happily shout Allah-akbar…the West instead is a river. My home is a river. And rivers are courses of living water. Water that runs, that flows, and in flowing it purifies itself, renews itself…It loves Life with all the good and the evil that it contains. Which is why our mothers weep when their children die. And why we seek Life everywhere.”
But– “I saw all that in New York’s Times Square, not in London’s Trafalgar Square or in Paris’ Place de la Concorde or in Madrid’s Plaza Mayor or in Berlin’s Alexanderplatz.
“Don’t be fooled by their explosives…they kill us to break our spirit. To intimidate us, to discourage us, to blackmail us… their aim is to destroy our souls, our ideas, our achievements, our dreams. Meaning to subjugate once more the West. And the real face of the West is not America. It is Europe. Today’s Troy burns in Europe, not in America. Thus to extinguish that fire takes, first of all and above all, Europe. But how to count on a Europe which has become Eurabia, which welcomes and favors the enemy, which even grants him the vote!? How to trust a Europe which to that enemy sells itself like a whore? Living takes passion. Refusing to submit, to comply, to surrender, means living with passion. But Europe does not refuse at all to submit, to comply, to surrender.
“The strategic base of the Islamic offensive in Europe is not France with its Marsailles and its official ten percent of Muslims; it’s Britain with it’s two and a half percent. (2004) Because it is Britain, not France, that shelters the brains, the leaders, of the Islamic offensive. The theologians and ideologists who theorize it. The journalists and intellectuals and the publishers who propagandize it. The oil-bankers and the moneybags who finance it. I mean the shiekhs, the emirs, the sultans who own the finest buildings and hotels in London.
“London is also home to the most dangerous terrorists in the world. Members of Al Qaeda or Al Ansar or Hamas who even the most Islamized France has expelled. Murderers whose countries of origin for years have been asking (the British) to extradite and whom the Minister of Justice refuses to hand over because they are ‘political refugees’ or naturalized citizens. All this without considering the too many Pakistani and Afghan and Jordanian and Palestinian and Sudanese and Senegalese and Maghrebin immigrants who live in Britain on residence permits…all of them people who have not the slightest intention to integrate…just think of the ‘Muslim Parliament of Great Britain’, the gang which always reminds the Islamic immigrants that they are not required to abide by British laws. “For a Muslim, the observance of his host country’s laws is optional. A Muslim must obey the Sharia and the Sharia alone” says its Founding Charter.”

Mr Khan rejected the offer. “The idea of making an exception for me because I’m the Mayor of London demonstrates how little they understand,” he said.
Exactly right. How little they understand.

Just to complete the historical record. The Declaration of Independence was based on Catholic sources, particularly Cardinal Bellarmine and Thomas Aquinas.
To quote from Rev. JOHN C. RAGER, CATHOLIC SOURCES AND THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
“First, the certainty and fact, beyond reasonable denial, that for many centuries prior to the American Declaration, the principles enunciated in it are identically the political thought and theory predominant and traditional among representative Catholic churchmen, and not the political thought and inspiration of the politico-religious revolt of the sixteenth century, nor of the later social-contract or compact theories.
In the second place, this paper would re-assert the existence of sufficient reasons to believe that the framers of the Declaration of Independence drew inspiration, encouragement, and political ideals from Catholic sources, particularly from the political principles of the Blessed Cardinal Bellarmine.
….
If the American Declaration is ‘an expression of the American mind,’ it is to say the least, something remarkable, says Allred O’Rahilly, that it should be such an accurate transcript of the Catholic mind. Elsewhere he states that a laborious investigation on his part revealed that from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century some 139 Catholic philosophers and theologians uphold the democratic principle that government is based on the consent of the governed. (Only seven of doubtful orthodoxy reject the principle.)
Striking parallels
It will suffice for our purpose to consult, in detail, but two Catholic churchmen who stand out as leading lights for all time. The one is representative of medieval learning and thought, the other stood on the threshold of the medieval and modern world. They are St. Thomas Aquinas of the thirteenth century and the Blessed Cardinal Robert Bellarmine of the sixteenth century (1542-1621). The following comparisons, clause for clause, of the American Declaration of Independence and of excerpts from the political principles of these noted ecclesiastics, evidence striking similarity and identity of political principle.
Equality of man
Declaration of Independence: All men are created equal; they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.
Bellarmine: All men are equal, not in wisdom or grace, but in the essence and nature of mankind (De Laicis, c.7) There is no reason why among equals one should rule rather than another (ibid.). Let rulers remember that they preside over men who are of the same nature as they themselves. (De Officus Princ. c. 22). Political right is immediately from God and necessarily inherent in the nature of man (De Laicis, c. 6, note 1).
St. Thomas: Nature made all men equal in liberty, though not in their natural perfections (II Sent., d. xliv, q. 1, a. 3. ad 1).
The function of government
Declaration of Independence: To secure these rights governments are instituted among men.
Bellarmine: It is impossible for men to live together without someone to care for the common good. Men must be governed by someone lest they be willing to perish (De Laicis, c. 6).
St. Thomas: To ordain anything for the common good belongs either to the whole people, or to someone who is the viceregent of the whole people (Summa, la llae, q. 90, a. 3).
The source of power
Declaration of Independence: Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Bellarmine: It depends upon the consent of the multitude to constitute over itself a king, consul, or other magistrate. This power is, indeed, from God, but vested in a particular ruler by the counsel and election of men (De Laicis, c. 6, notes 4 and 5). The people themselves immediately and directly hold the political power (De Clericis, c. 7).
St. Thomas: Therefore the making of a law belongs either to the whole people or to a public personage who has care of the whole people (Summa, la llae, q. 90, a. 3). The ruler has power and eminence from the subjects, and, in the event of his despising them, he sometimes loses both his power and position (De Erudit. Princ. Bk. I, c. 6).
The right to change the government
Declaration of Independence: Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government…Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient reasons.
Bellarmine: For legitimate reasons the people can change the government to an aristocracy or a democracy or vice versa (De Laicis, c. 6). The people never transfers its powers to a king so completely but that it reserves to itself the right of receiving back this power (Recognitio de Laicis, c. 6).
St Thomas: If any society of people have a right of choosing a king, then the king so established can be deposed by them without injustice, or his power can be curbed, when by tyranny he abuses his regal power (De Rege et Regno, Bk. I, c. 6).
Democracy not modern thought
Democracy then is not a discovery of modern political thought. Its sources are to be sought in ancient and medieval theories of government. Christianity injected something into the governments of nations that worked for democracy, that emphasized the natural equality and liberty of men. We can think of real Christianity only as democratic, never as aristocratic or autocratic.”
UJJWAL SARKAR says
Such an enormous truth have been kept concealed ,as if , much beyond the ambit of the school curricula !!!! The French Revolution would not have been possible if the AMERICAN REVOLUTION did not precede it. The Declaration of Independence of America was the singular important factor behind the much more widely known French Revolution. Thanks for enlightening about Mme.Oriana Fallaci ,and her work “The Rage and The Pride”.

Well you have had a muslim president for two terms.
jayell says
Amusing though Andy’s comment is we have, sadly we’ve already actually been quite close to this situation. I’m sure that the whole world was aware that the late (and lamented) Princess Diana was knocking around with the also late, but maybe not lamented, Dodi Fayed (son of the former owner of Harrods and a muslim) after her divorce, and I believe that marriage was on the cards. With her ‘royal’ children still in the equation, that would have meant that a muslim would have effectively got in with the Royals. Many of us believe that the ‘accident’ in Paris that took them both seemed to be strangely convenient as a solution to what I’m told was seen as an impending problem in high circles. Exactly what the ‘problem’ was – assuming it existed – I’m not sure, but I can guess.
Regarding the awful Khan in London, I note the quote:-
“Sadiq Khan has offered to help Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump – pledging his successful campaign as a “template” to hers….”
No, he did NOT win as a result of a ‘successful campaign’. He won because (a) London has always tended to have a left-of-centre political bias (Boris Johnson excepted, which may have helped Khan), so it should be theoretically a fairly safe seat for Labour, (b) London is no longer really an ‘English’ city with a majority ethnic/immigrant population in many areas, including an estimated muslim population of over 1,000,000, and (c) there was a wide field of candidates, many of whom would have appealed to the indigenous English voter, thus splitting their voting power. I think we can guess fairly accurately which way the muslims would have voted, and the non-muslim ethnic/immigrant voters, who generally go for Labour anyway, no doubt automatically went for someone who more resembled them (which the other ‘English’ candidates didn’t) especially as Khan had a track record as a trouble-causing ‘human rights’ (sic) lawyer. It might be true to say the Kahn’s election shows similarities with Obama’s (who I believe gained 90% of the Black/Hispanic vote whilst the ‘white’ vote was a 45%-55% split – someone correct me if that’s not right)). So Kahn has absolutely no business congratulating himself on any amazing success. He is just an appalling symptom of an equally appalling demographic situation in what was once the ‘English’ capital city.
What is even more ridiculous is Kahn’s claim that he will be some kind of great ‘unifier’ (controlling the extremists whilst also speaking for the non-muslim majority) and that his rule will demonstrate the validity of islam at the centre of Western society, a contention which people like Mr.Trump doubt. (NB – note Kahn’s increasingly arrogant and high-handed attitude towards Mr. Trump – predictable? We’re going to get more of THAT!!!). Well, the extremists will just carry on as before (if not worse, because he won’t be able to control them anyway especially if he tries to show any sympathy towards his non-muslim majority), and Kahn (since we all know perfectly well that he’s in cahouts with them) will just pander to them but maybe try to make it LOOK like he’s calling the shots as only an utterly dishonest lawyer can attempt to do. We’re all going to fall for that one, aren’t we? And as for islam having any relevance to the running of a modern, democratic Western society? You might as well try running the railway system with horses! It’s just mindless verbiage, and he knows it. And Khan’s conceited assertion that he’s going to show Mr. Trump a thing or two, despite all the evidence validating Mr. Trump’s position, is just defensive bluster. As if we can’t all see through THAT one!!!
You good people on the other side of the pond have just GOT to make sure that Mr. Trump makes it to the White House, if only to help us sort this joker on our side of the pond.
Judi says
jayell – he’s also whining about too many white people running TFL. That is the reason it is so efficient. Can you imagine if the muzzrats were running it. They’d be popping off five times a day to pray to allah. There would be women-only carriages on the trains and the buses would be segregated. It’s bad enough if you have the misfortune to sit next to a smelly burka-clad creature or a bearded jihadi wearing a filthy nightie.
Donna says
I’ve been sharing this article/comment string on many sites I read that run articles related to this person – many of these comments are intelligent and insightful, and should be more widely read IMO. I also get a kick out of how you handle the occasional idiot that wanders in!
Been reading Jihad Watch for the past several months, and always learn something interesting here 🙂
Richard Paulsen says
Just being some 0-2% non muslims in muslim ruled countries. Being without any political influence. Regarded as “infidels” or unbelievers. Mosques being built in Europe and the U.S.A.. No churches being built in MENA.
No problem? Not being racism? Not being a racist oppressing Christians and others?
Why are mosques being built in Western countries demanding respect for islam? Since people are supposed to having escaped from islamic countries and it´s being said they are being poor?
Would you demand respect for nazism being a refugee from Nazi Germany? Would anyone from a communist country demand respect for Communism?
Why not concentrate on changing islamic countries? Demanding they taking care of their own countries. Instead of attacking countries not being ruled according to islam.
Panmelia says
Sad Khan will crash and burn at some point in his term of office. Right now he’s strutting around like some bantam cock crowing his victory to all and sundry, giving advice to Hillary and snubbing Trump.
But his fall is inevitable because he is insincere, a liar, a taqiyah operator, a koran-reader, a slave of allah and as such he cannot help but come in contact with corrupt co-religionists and terrorist sympathisers, if not actual terrorists.
The former muslim mayor of Tower Hamlets in London was brought down recently when his corrupt dealings and abuse of power were exposed. Khan will go the same way, the sooner the better.
linnte says
Having seen the video of Khan speaking to a crowd of Muslims where the black flag was flown and individuals hold up that one woeful index finger in solidarity to Allah, I know now he is without a doubt, a supporter of terrorism. The world of peace loving people are fooled into thinking that each enclave of Muslims in their country are standing alone. But the reality is, like a huge undersoil fungus, are all connected as one entity. They are like a giant colony of carpenter ants undermining the structure of freedom. Khan will come to the USA and be coddled by his Muslim Brotherhood.
How I wish I live somewhere close to where he will visit so I could protest his existence.
mortimer says
Khan not only attend meetings with Islamic supremacists and terror affiliates, but he defended them as a lawyer.
He is an Islamic supremacist posing as a moderate.
Fatetrader says
So Khan did you already fit in any of your home’s to those cushy council jobs? wait for it it will be done, if not directly, then by any means he can to help them get it.
Judi says
Him and his family grew up in council flats. He brags about it.
mortimer says
Khan said: “The idea of making an exception for me because I’m the Mayor of London demonstrates how little they understand.”
Khan wants to use his election to promote Islamic supremacism. That’s what people haven’t figure out.
Khan will embolden the terrorists to strike in London and the US and strike US targets in UK.
WorkingClassPost says
I’ve got a question for anyone in USA, please.
I thought Trump said ‘No more moslems’ in the context of unvetted migrans, rather than imposing a blanket ban which would include tourists and business people.
If he did mean all muzzies, that’s gonna be almost impossible to enforce and way too draconian for most citizens.
If he meant the migrants, them he better clarify it PDQ, or the bad guys are gonna have a great time ripping him to shreds over it.

Myxlplik says
WCP,
My understanding of American immigration law isn’t that deep but the jist of it is that if an immigrant believes in a ideology which is deemed a threat to national security, then they can be weeded out of the pool. I think acting temporarily on such a vague analysis while you assess the threat is Constitutional. Trump is on very solid ground there. It could be done in vague terms even permanently, but I doubt there would be the political will nationally to do such a thing without a clear cut theological conversation.
Trump will enact the ban, and if he is shown by experts like Robert, for instance, that Islam itself is ideologically incompatible with our Constitution, or poses a threat to the cultural fabric of our nation, and (this is a big and) can come up with the proper verbiage to describe the threat, then if we as a people understand the threat, and then…. yes it would be more or less permanent until the public conscious on the issue is swayed by other evidence.
It’s totally Constitutional, and this is what Trump means by, we will look into it, and I hope it’s just temporary. Trump is very human here, he doesn’t want to act permanently, because of the pain it would cause Muslims as people and families, but would do it to protect his country, if his investigation into the issue led him to that conclusion.
That’s how I hear Trump.
Donna says
Good one Mickey. I’ll have to use that when blasting the news sites here. It’s short, sweet and good meme material too 🙂
Hillary now has Islam on her side!
Can there possibly be a better reason for voting for Trump?

Well, it didn’t take long for him to offer his help to Hillary Clinton. Now, how about some help for Asia Bibi. Has this role model for all Muslims made plans for a trip to Pakistan to bring some hope to her yet?
mortimer says
-50% of UK Muslims want homosexuality outlawed
-31% want polygamy legalized
-23% want Sharia
-25% want Sharia zones in UK where English law is superseded
-40% of British Muslims want Sharia in the UK
-28% of British Muslims want Britain to be an Islamic state
-75% of Muslim youth in UK want women to wear the veil (or at least hijab) compared to 19% of adult population
-37 percent of young British Muslims want Sharia law in Britain.
-36 percent of young British Muslims think apostates should be killed.
-13 percent of young British Muslims said they “admired” Al Qaeda.
What could go wrong?

Kinda tells you why the Queen said, that this would be the last Christmas. Wondered what she was saying. By the way, research Christmas–and all of our common holidays–not biblical holidays. In 2007 with Barry running for office I had the idea muslims would be used as a judgement and a wakeup for everyone to get back to following the true One God (and that is not allah or hasatan). Now we see this is not limited to the US. Read Zephaniah
Angry Citizen says
NEVER TRUST THESE POLLS
You have to understand the muslim mind and understand what islam really is. Those that openly say they want homsexuality made illegal or sharia to rule are what you may term the islamists. They are open and honest about their views as they arrogantly believe that they are “the best of men”.
Those that remain quiet or claim to be so-called ‘moderates’ are either Hypocrites or they are Practicing Taqiyah for the advancement of islam. The True figure in all cases will be nearer to 100%.
I say nearer to, as even I accept that there will be some BAD muslims (good people) who want to escape.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep. The most one can say about *all* surveys of Muslim opinions on this or that is that they indicate what percentage are willing to *openly* own up to holding assorted hideously-ugly beliefs and practices.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Khan’s support all but seals Trump’s victory in November because after a decade and a half on this website for the first time Moslems have become a major issue in a presidential campaign. Hillary already has about 100% of Moslem votes locked in so the only marginal gain Khan could deliver would be votes of white liberals and blacks. But even liberals are starting to figure out in some indefinite fuzzy way that Islam ain’t the best deal for a socialist enterprise.
mortimer says
Agree. Khan will actually help Trump by interfering. I think Khan is such a narcissist he will double down and end up exposing his supremacism more than he intended. There is always a banana peel waiting for the overconfident. Khan’s conceits will come back to bite him.
Carol says
I would tell Mr. Khan to keep out of our electoral process. You have no more right to interfere with our system of government, than we have to interfere with yours.
I might say the same thing to Obama as well since he tried to interfere with the Israeli electoral process so Netanyahu wouldn’t be elected. I ‘m glad he did!
I hope Mr. Khan is kept out of our country.
Shmooviyet says
Agreed– curious to know if Khan’s invitation to the WH has yet been delivered.
Then he, Clinton & BO can make a video with middle (or index) fingers upraised at America, similar to the above posted video from @Stephanie.
Guest says
Mr. Khan I recommend you keep your ideals to yourself and let the Americans handle our own election.
WorkingClassPost says
When Obama butted into our affairs over the EU referendum, the media went apeshit about interference, sovereignty and independence.
I guess we’ve decided that it would be islamofobik to remind Kahn this was not one of the duties he was elected for.
Does anyone think he’s got the front to travel at taxpayer’s expense?
that’s a really silly question btw.

“London’s Muslim mayor pledges to help Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump”
This alone convinces me to vote for Trump.

Good grief! This wretch is only the mayor of London and yet his ego is bigger than the whole of the UK! He’s certainly proved beyond all doubt that he’s a master of muslim big talk
His support for Hillary should assure victory for Trump.
Champ says
This new mayor sure is *full* of himself, isn’t he? He reminds me of that thug Rahm Emanuel …
BlueRaven says
This guy is a lot more dangerous than you are making him out to be. He is through and through Jihadi. He will protect Islam at all cost. He may not go and blow himself up, but that is another kind of Jihad.
He is rooting to be the Labour Party leader then to be the First Muslim PM of GB, The idiot Brits will vote him in. The situation is just too hard to imagine. He is a London Mayor, and O-Idiot and HillBilly support him. This is crazy. He may not succeed but he will try damn hard for sure. Islam has come very fast a long way since 9/11.
BlueRaven says
I love to see Khan to come over and say something bad about Trump. Trump will win without any effort. We aint gonne stand for this a$$ clown.
Judi says
The ONLY reason Khan won was because of the large muzzrat infestation in London.
dumbledoresarmy says
Yep.
Mirren10 says
Unfortunately, not the *only* reason. All the leftists as well, the Corbyn groupies et al. Plus Pakis from Pakistan voting twice, thrice.
*But* also, don’t forget we’re talking a *45%* turnout ! How disgraceful, apathetic and stupid, is that ?

Khan is more than welcome to crew up Hillary’s campaign but I really hope he does not visit here. Bad timing and I plain just don’t like his lying face

This is great! Hillary should ask Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to join in with their emphatic endorsement. Perhaps Putin could also write a letter of support. At least people would know what they will get with Hillary.
What Trump will actually do, for all of his big talk, is a complete mystery to me.

I hope he does it! Was it not England that wanted to Band Trump as well. Trump will certainly benefit and turn this into a outside Muslim trying to influence American politics. That won’t go over very well.
Jon Hammond says
London, England’s new Muslim mayor obviously has delusions of grandeur and does not understand his limited role as a city mayor which is purely to attract business to London, to ensure that all civic services are operating smoothly, to improve infrastructure and transit as needed, to attend various events that benefit the city, and to use municipal taxes wisely or to raise taxes if necessary. That’s it; not commenting on American elections or falsely claiming that he will in any way influence American voters to send Hillary Clinton to the White House.
He is yet another Islamist Muslim who lives in fantasy-land.
