As is so very characteristic of Islamic supremacists the world over, Khan started this feud, and is now playing the victim and claiming that Trump is motivated by “Islamophobia.” Khan has now claimed: “Let’s be frank, the reason I was singled out was not because of any other reason than my faith.”
The Trump/Khan conflict began in January 2017, when Khan attacked Trump’s travel ban on several countries that could not or would not provide adequate information about the people wishing to enter. Khan said: “I am quite clear, this ban is cruel, this ban is shameful, while this ban is in place we should not be rolling out the red carpet for President Trump.” The following month, Khan declared: “President Trump can’t silence me….We stand in solidarity with all those who are discriminated against because of their nationality, their faith or their background.”
After a jihad massacre in London in June 2017, Trump tweeted: “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack, and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’” Two years later, in June 2019, Trump tweeted: “@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly ‘nasty’ to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me.”
So it looks as if Trump has criticized Khan for being blasé after a jihad massacre, for being personally unkind to him, and for neglecting London’s skyrocketing crime rate.
What in that is singling Khan out for being a Muslim? Nothing, of course. The same charges can be made against others, and Trump has made them; he has many times criticized New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is not a Muslim, for being soft on crime. So on what does Khan base his claim that Trump only criticized him because he is a Muslim? Nothing except the always-salient fact that it will play well with his base.
“Sadiq Khan: Trump singled me out ‘for no other reason’ than being Muslim,” by EJ Ward, LBC, November 9, 2020:
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has told LBC he was singled out by the now-outgoing US President Donald Trump “for no other reason” than being Muslim
Speaking to LBC’s James O’Brien just days after Joe Biden won the race to the White House in the US Presidential Election, the Mayor said
James asked Mr Khan how he felt when Donald Trump attacked him personally putting him under an “astonishingly ugly spotlight.”
“Bring [sic] a Muslim ain’t easy, it isn’t easy,” Mr Khan said, adding “it’s never been harder to be a Muslim than the last four years.”
Expanding on what he meant, the Mayor told LBC that the world had “for the first time the leader of the free world, a mainstream politician perpetuating a view that Islam and the West are incompatible.”
He went on to say that President Trump had perpetuated a view that “all of us must be bad, or must be terrorist because of the actions of a very small minority.”
“Let’s be frank, the reason I was singled out was not because of any other reason,” he said, “than my faith.”
The Mayor of London said this led to Muslims around the world “carrying an additional weight” due to the actions and words of Donald Trump.
He added that many across the globe were not happy with the way Donald Trump treated minorities and people who were different to him….
Ecosse1314 says
Maybe khan was singled out because he khan be a tw@t most of the time
mortimer says
He’s singled out for being a disastrous mayor with a disastrous crime problem. Khan is the former defender of jihadists. Which of those two does he think is the main reason he is hated?
David says
Yes he was a lawyer. There are more reasons why he is hated, but we won’t go into that here. We all know.
Mount Zion says
What is shameful is that in muslim countries christians cannot build churches , I think in Pakistan it’s illegal for a non muslim to become president , I may be wrong on that , but there are so many restrictions on christians in muslim countries that it sounds ridiculous when Khan pulls the victim card by saying that it’s never been harder to be a muslim. The fact that in some muslim countries you can claim easily that a christian you had a quarrel with has blasphemed against the prophet , tells you everything you need to know about who is persecuted and who plays the constant victim.

Vishal_India says
When Muslims migrate and settle in other countries they want all their religious freedom there without bothering they are encroaching on others right.
Surprisingly, they are silent about what happens to religious minorities in their home country which are mostly ruled by Islamic laws, where lives of non-Islamic followers are worse than hell.
Muslims should learn to co-exist with other religions and shall follow Uniform Civil Code of the country. They shall not exhibit their religions in the public places, if not they shall be simply deported to their home land. Enough is enough, others need peace.
Roger Woodhouse says
The sooner we in the West are rid of these teoublesome muslims the sooner we can restore ‘our’British inheritance.Those ‘poor ‘muslims who cant accept our way of life must leave.We have less than 10 years to be rid of them.After that it will be too late.
revereridesagain says
There’s a very simple cure for that, one which the midget slave of Allah will never accept: renounce your insane, violent, predatory, murderous religious ideology, embrace reality, and adopt reason and respect for the rights of all other human beings as your basis for dealing with the rest of the world.
But then the midget won’t get his 72 renewable virgin whores to enjoy in the peeled-grapes and silk-pillowed bordello paradise of Islam when he leaves this vale of frustration and “intolerance” of his “faith”.
Abraham agevi says
Always they play victim
Tom says
Someone once said “When Muslims are in the minority they constantly cry about human rights. When Muslims are the majority there are NO human rights.”
This weasel Khan is typical of that statement. He has been elevated to the position of Mayor of one of the most prestigious cities in the world and Muslims hold positions as elected MP’s but they are the victims despite numerous killings perpetrated by Muslims.
One has to shake ones head.

Come to think of it “it’s never been harder to be a Muslim than the last four years” sounds like it should be a song (alla Skeeter Davis’s country hit of the 60’s) but it would help to have a blonde wig and guitar to pull than one off properly; and I reallydon’t think it helps being quoted as telling everyone that one is an ‘agnostic’ before getting elected.

Michael Copeland says
“…a mainstream politician perpetuating a view that Islam and the West are incompatible.” Shock!
The European Court in the 2003 Welfare Party case described Islam’s rules as “incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy”.
Khan does not want people to know that this incompatibility is, in fact, taught in mosques:
“Islam cannot and will not ever become a part of liberal secularism…
Islam will rise once again ..and the Muslim lands.. will be fully restored under complete Muslim control…”

somehistory says
Oh, yes, the forever whining about “poor me and what trials and tribulations a moslim must endure…all just because of our (their) faith.”
If islam included “faith,” it wouldn’t cause so many problems for so many people.
Jews have “faith.” They believe they have Divine help. Many times in the Bible, they were told ,”Wait for God.” Once, they were told to “Stand still and see the salvation by Jehovah.” They fought when they were commanded by God to fight.
Christians have “faith.” They believe they have Divine help. Christ said, “Be innocent as lambs.” “The one who lives by the sword, will die by the sword.” He said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” The Apostle Paul said, ” As far as it depends upon you, Be peaceable with all men.”
But moslims are commanded to fight, make war, strike terror, and force everyone to bow to their fake god. Even in personal matters, they take steps to render their form of ‘justice’ which is no justice at all. They see every word as a possible insult and feel it is their ‘right’ to make the one speaking…or drawing, smoking, drinking, eating pork or during their “fast”, not wearing certain articles of clothing, dating, kissing holding hands, watching t.v., etc. pay a heavy price. They don’t have any “faith” that their ‘god’ will make things right for them. They always have to fight their way…never let any kind of injury…real or imagined…pass by.
mosllims spend countless hours preying for the death of Jews and Christians…but they don’t allow their ‘god’ to take care of any of their concerns. They take every matter into their own hands…because their ‘god’ really is no god at all…just an evil demon intent on mankind”s destruction.
moslims don’t really know what “faith” is…they just use the word as a weapon when they whine.
And this kahn man has been totally unfair to all of the people in London who are not moslims…esp those who speak out about islam and it’s evil. He has nothing to stand on when it comes to how moslims are treated because they treat everyone else so much worse.
David says
The UK should invite Macron to London to make a speech to Sadfuq Khan about the evils of islam.
mortimer says
It’s harder and harder to be a Muslim because it’s intellectually untenable.
Muslims today have finally realized that 1) there are 37 different Arabic Koran texts when there should be only one. 2) because the Koran says Allah preserves the text, point 1) is incompatible with point 2). Thus, 3) the Koran self-refutes and Islam is false.

Poor guy. He needs a pity party.
Gee, I wonder if over 38,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide (and this figure of course would not include the huge number of Islamic terrorist attacks thwarted by sundry security agencies across the globe) just since 9/11 might be A reason why Muslims, unlike the adherents of any other major faith, are treated with suspicion and even contempt (N.B. the one exception to this rule is that Christians are treated with suspicion and contempt by Western Leftists aplenty).
Other reasons for being wary of Muslims and highly skeptical of their capacity to assimilate and lay off of violence are 1) their stupid reverence for Mohammed, whose character demonstrates that of a delusional, narcissistic, psychopathic killer; 2) 109 verses in the Koran calling for the waging of war across the Earth “until all religion is with Allah” {Sura 8:39}; 3) 60% of the Koran wrapped up with hating the non-Muslim; and 4) a fountain of information in the hadiths and sira demonstrating to all but the dense or deluded (sadly, a huge number of people) that Islam is replete with calls for violence and accompanied by much nonsense.
Islam is disgusting. Therefore, verily and so on, ALL Muslims, even those who won’t fulfill all the heinous directives of their religion, are nonetheless guilty of adhering to an evil ideology, which is most certainly an enemy of freedom.

After reading your comment, I’m reminded of something I heard on the radio yesterday. A gentleman has started a group to help people cope with what may be coming. He said he was speaking with a police officer who told him that when the chaos begins, the police will be at their own homes protecting their families, not available for responding to the needs of strangers. So, he has started this group.
Explaining that he is a Christian and the meeting this week is at a church, he was asked if anyone could attend, “atheists, etc.” and his response was, “Anyone, everyone. I don’t object to other people having a different belief; they just have to be okay with me having mine.”
islam is the opposite: they do object…strongly…to others having a different belief And they demand that others be more than okay with islam taking over. We are all supposed to welcome the forcing. If we don’t wish to abide by all of the lawlessness set out by their filthy book, we have to willingly stretch out our neck. Otherwise, they whine that we are ‘phobic,’ victimizing them.

Usual whingeing Muslim. I see some good signs in this report and the other report yesterday on Jihad Watch about the Muslim whinger saying Muslims feelings are being hurt. Boo hoo. To me, maybe this means that non-Muslims are waking up to this revolting, evil load of garbage, islam, and are starting to treat Muslims the way they should treated. Islam has treated all non-Muslims like crap for 1400 years and if more people are finally waking up and treating the adherents of Islam badly, then I say, good, about bloody time. It’s been a long time coming. Maybe some Muslims will decide to leave their rotten creed behind and join the more civilised and more peaceful people, who don’t follow Islam’s violent, barbaric garbage. Muslims are bizarre. They treat non-Muslims appallingly and always have, but then they seem to expect that non-Muslims will like them and treat them well. Truly bizarre thinking. If Muslims want to be liked, then treat non-Muslims well, something Muslims have never done.
David says
What hurts more? Words, or being cut to ribbons by a muslim killer?
Muslims should be given two choices: Leave islam, or leave the country!
tim gallagher says
I agree, David. Keep islam out of all non-Muslim countries. As I mentioned up above, something that has always struck me as being really weird is the way that Muslims, who treat non-Muslims like crap, think that we non-Muslims should treat Muslims in a pleasant way. But, yes, I agree with the policy of just slamming the door shut on any Muslims getting into any of our non-Muslim countries. Nothing else works as far as I am concerned. I think the attitude of Hungary and the other Visegrad bloc countries is the right one. Keep Muslims out and we’ll avoid the neverending trouble they always bring.
Walter Sieruk says
If what the Muslim mayor said is really true then it’s ,for most part, the result of different brutal action of Muslim terrorism that have occurred in Britain For example those cruel vicious and deadly jihad vehicle and knife in London ,attacks and the mass murder jihad bombing in Manchester that killed so many innocent young girls.
There are factors also that may lead the English people to view Muslims in negative light .As seen in their Islamic arrogance and gall of attempting to push and even force the Eastern Islamic ways as,,Sharia law , on a Western nation In this specific case the United Kingdom. As the Muslim “No go ” zones in London .
Why would a British person not think of that as a type of gradual Islamic takeover ,as in some kind of Muslim invasion ? After who was living on that great land first ,the British or the Muslims ?
Related to this least once a group of Muslims walked down one of the main streets and chanted “This is our land ” What else are the English people supposed to think and that those foreigners are showing their Islamic arrogance by revealing for Muslim spirit of a hope for Islamic “invasion ” of England.
So if Muslims living in the UK “the last four years ” feel not so welcome anymore they only have themselves to blame.

Aussie Infidel says
He (Khan) went on to say that President Trump had perpetuated a view that “all of us must be bad, or must be terrorist because of the actions of a very small minority.”
Muslims always assert that terrorism has “nothing to do with Islam” because it is “the actions of a very small minority”. But what deceitful people like Khan don’t say is that the terrorists are from the pious psychopaths and narcissicists in Muslim communities – because they are the only people who are sufficiently devoid of empathy and remorse, and fanatical enough to carry out such heinous attacks. Psychopaths exist in all human communities and represent less than 1% of the population. In the West, they often become involved in criminal activities and end up in jail; but in Muslim communities they are targeted by recruiters to become jihadis.
In a way Khan was right – he was singled out for his faith – but again he doesn’t say why – that his faith commands Muslims to lie, and cheat, and steal, and kill in the name of their god. Why wouldn’t any decent human being detest such a faith? Islam is a despicable faith which has no place in a civilized society,

And how many moslims who have carried out the attacks were said to have “recently began attending , praying, reading, etc.” more than they had been?
This is referred to as being “radicalized,” but it’s really just more devoted to the evil filth of islam.
And…the “small minority” line is meant to deceive the ignorant.

The latest Muslim voting pattern in the Indian state of Bihar is eye opening to say the least. As long as they were in small numbers, they voted for the Left-parties in election with the sole intent to keep the RIGHT from taking power in that state., And in the bargain, they extracted the max favors from these LEFT-LIB parties and sucked them dry to the last drop. And now over the years, their numbers have built up to sizeable proportions in that state. Enter a Muslim leader Owaissi from another Indian state and this fellow has never even lifted a brick for the Muslims of Bihar… Yet in these current polls, Muslims gleefully ditch these LEFT LIB parties who had appeased and given them so so much to this point and cast their votes in favor of this external Muslim leader who has never done anything to date for them. So, I ask, is not the same fate waiting gor the DEMs in the USA, Trudeau in Canada, Labor in UK, and Merkel in Germany. It is another matter that former Dhimmi Macron chose to wake up from his slumber and see the sordid price he is paying.

Sadiq Khan it is indeed hard to be held to account for what your fellow Muslims do in terms of murder and rape, especially as they have done absolutely nothing wrong when you consider the Koran.
More and more people express the view that Islam and the West are incompatible, and that the twain will never meet. In this respect we must recognise that Sadiq Khan has done more than anybody else to reconcile Islam with the West or at least with London which is the only place where he has real influence. He has enriched the London culture with the finest from Pakistan like throat slitting and acid attacks. He has blessed London with his special Rawalpindi touch! In fact we see the flood of Muslims turn as some Muslims now realise that it is safer to live back home in Somalia and Iraq. This is a feat nobody else has accomplished and which should be remembered long after his stepping down as Mayor of London.
The article quoted mentions Trump as the outgoing President. Trump has indeed always been outgoing and he will continue that way long after he completes his second term in 2025.
Henry Schalk says
Sadiq Khan is in all but name, a stealth jihadi. Britain is plagued with them. Sayeeda Warsi, Naz Shah, and the operator of ‘don’t let the cat out of the bag about Islam’s true nature, or its intentions’, radio host Maajid Nawaz over at LBC, just to name a few.
SJ says
I thought Maajid Nawz accepts the fact that Islam needs to be reformed.

Khan is actually a liberal Muslim. His daughter married a non-Muslim without converting him to Islam. Muslims consider it apostasy, which is punishable by death, and honor killings do occur in the UK. He’s still at good terms with his daughter.

Poor London enduring kahn’s wraith, kahn’s poor ancestors think what they had to endure before they converted. I doubt if kahn ever has, or ever will. Never easy to live as kufr under islam, that’s why kahn is part of the slaver culture today.
Clarino says
When someone like Khan says “I am a muslim” what does he mean? Is he referring to his inherited culture, or is he someone who sticks his arse in the air five times a day to demonstrate his submission to the people who have told him about allah, and what allah thinks. Does he really venerate a seventh century warlord and pedophile, or does he merely subscribe to a political dogma which will advance his career. If he is a true believer, then he is unfit to hold office – if he is an oppotunist, then he is unfit to hold office.

Jerry says
A phobia is an irrational fear, mostly of the unknown..
However, as something is becoming better known the fear is either dispelled if proved unrealistic, or is confirmed to be based on sound reasoning and is thus no longer a phobia.
Properly analysed, Islamophobia must be the irrational fear, amongst non-Muslims, that Muslims, motivated by the Qura’n, the Hadith and the utterings of Islamic scholars would carry on, forever if not forcefully stopped, the atrocities they are commanded by the Qura’n, the Hadith and their learned religious leaders against non-Muslims, which they have factually carried out unceasingly for about fourteen hundred years and have no intention to stop.
I, therefore, do not suffer from Islamophobia. It is not an irrational fear of the unknown. I know well enough the Islamic Humanophobic narrative. I do not even hate Muslims or Islam, but I reserve my right to protect myself, what’s mine and what;s dear to from their homicidal and genocidal designs.
I oppose violence with as much of it as is required to oppose it effectively.
What my well founded factual knowledge is causing me Islamonausea, which is a perfectly rational reaction to factual Islamic theory and practice.
My answer to Islam is simply a matter of rational reciprocity.
What Islamists wish to visit upon me I shall visit upon them, if and when they try.
We had more than our fill of Islamic Humanophobia for the last fourteen hundred years.
