Oops, my bad. THAT never happened. Here’s what actually took place: the (non) wrath of Khan, London's muslim mayor.
Hot on the heels of the latest ISIS slaughter in London, Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan issued a press release to residents, telling them there’s “No reason to be alarmed at the increased police presence”.
Stop laughing. He really did say that. And it's not funny, despite what Bugsy and others have posted on this board.
What else did Khan have to say? I searched in vain for the following, but found zilch. Perhaps you’ll have better luck?
- There was no call for London moques to cooperate with police when their members exhibit radicalized/jihadist behavior or social media postings
- No advice for residents or tourists to exercise caution when attending concerns, walking on public streets, or gathering in a public place.
- No blanket condemnation of terrorism in general, or ISIS in particular
- Just this: "Don't be afraid of the police"
Perhaps thegovernment of PM Theresa May offered better advice, or took more helpful action? Um . .. no.
May's government did not launch any retaliatory air attacks against the target rich environment of ISIS training camps in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. This would be like the Mayor of Honolulu and FDR urging Pearl Harbor survivors to be patient, and not bristle at any short term "stop and frisk" tactics while they try to figure out the politically correct, poll driven response.
Radical muslims must be totally convinced that Allah is invincible, and the west will soon be defeated, no? Moderate ones too, probably. No wonder "moderate muslims" don't denounce ISIS. They're afraid of appearing on a kill list after ISIS wins . ..
Last year, when the Brexit vote turned out to be “yes”, there were dire predictions (by leftists) that London would soon lose its place as the pre-eminent financial capital of Europe. That didn't happen, of course.
However, a terrorist bombing at the Lloyds building, in the heart of London’s financial district, could have a “disparate impact” on major banks’ decision to stay or go.
Perhaps that’s where Mayor Khan is planning to deploy his additional squads of unarmed bobbies? Its clear that he - and other authorities - have done an awful job of protecting concert goers, tourists, and sightseers.
