Who Is The Real Racist, Sadiq Khan Or Trump?

[Khandro]

Nigel Farage tells, in no uncertain terms;

[jno]

Trump.

[Samjenko]

Khan

[Islay]

How can you get a true answer to this, those who dislike Muslims with say Khan and those that dislike Trump with will say Trump.
As for Farage he just seem to be looking for a new job and Trump seems to be on his wish list.

I'm not sure you can be a fake racist!

I believe that Donald Trump is a racist because he wants to ban people from entering the U.S. on the basis of their country of origin, and that is virtually a textbook definition of a racist.

The fact that the thinking behind the ban is completely barking is a secondary issue.

It points to the notion that only someone who believes that stopping people flying because of their country of origin will in any way curtain terrorist activities is the person who would introduce a ban like this.

Terrorism sees no borders - they welcome anyone, passports at the door not required.

The real racist appears to be Farage. Gets interesting 3m 30s in:

Khan cannot possibly, in all good conscience, criticise Trump for restricting travel from certain countries, when he is happily inviting people from countries that ban Jews wholesale. Two-faced to say the least.

[Samjenko]

Zacs-Master 'Gets interesting 3m 30s in:'

Nah, it still looks the same.

[Khandro]

How can banning passport holders of 7 countries, whatever religion they follow - (or even if they don't adhere to one), for 90 days, be called 'racism', and inviting and entertaining muslims to the city of London from countries which will not allow Jewish Israelis to enter theirs not be in support of racism?

[Gromit]

A ridiculous argument.

Khan does not allow people in this country from countries that don't admi Jews, the Government does.

And a citizen from say Egypt doesn't really have much say on who their Government bans, so banning them is daft.

And Khan is not banning US citizens from London.

So this whole thread is idiotic.

[Khandro]

gromit; //And Khan is not banning US citizens from London.//

I think it is you who misses the point, - Sadiq Khan has said he wants to ban the President of the US, no less.

[Gromit]

Khan is not trying to ban Trump from coming here, he can't.
He says he wants the State visit cancelled.
Two entirely different things.

[naomi24]

//Khan does not allow people in this country from countries that don't admi Jews, the Government does. //

But Khan's inviting them. So much for his principles!

[Gromit]

Khan invited ALL Ambassadors in London, including the Jewish one, to a reception.
Khan does not decide who this country has relations with, and have Embassies in London, the Foreign Office do.
The reception is a ceremonial function of the Mayor, and him not inviting anyone from a friendly nation, would be a diplomatic incident.

[naomi24]

//him not inviting anyone from a friendly nation, would be a diplomatic incident. //

But he wants to ban Trump. He's clearly big on diplomacy.

[Gromit]

He wants the State visit recinded, not the person banned. Trump can come and visit whenever he wants, along with any Yemenis, Iranians or Iraqis. But the outlay of £10 million in policing London during a State visits is what Khan doesn't want to pay for.

[naomi24]

He’s not thinking about money, Gromit.

[Gromit]

The invite is not going to be recinded.
So Khan can say whatever he likes, just as the Conservative MP, the Honourable Member for Stratford-upon-Avon, can agree with him.

But to level an accusation of hypocrisy and racism because he invited all ambasadors from every embassy in the Capital to a ceremonial reception, is just plain deluded.

[naomi24]

Gromit, I’m not deluded but you’re making it up as you go along. Not only have you said, incorrectly, that Khan’s reason for opposing Trump’s visit is financial, you’ve also said that ALL ambassadors were invited to the reception, whereas in fact representatives from only eleven of the sixteen nations that ban Israelis were invited – and none of them attracted censure from the mayor.

[Khandro]

Gromit; You are often wrong, but you aren't usually thick. How often does it have to be stated. He wants Trump banned from London, because he thinks he's a racist - which he isn't, and yet he welcomes people who plainly are, which is OK because they are Muslims, and all Muslims are anti-Semitic, 'cos the Koran tells them they have to be.
Geddit?.
