Fast to Understand Muslims: London Mayor…
Fast to Understand Muslims: London Mayor
I thought this guy was a Tory…can some Brit explain this to me? (Although I know he has a Muslim great grandparent, right?) No one on the right could say something like this in the U.S. Even on the left, I think only Blackamerican or very leftist politicians who didn’t care at all about right wing backlash could say something like this.
London Mayor Boris Johnson has urged non-Muslims to fast a day during the holy month of Ramadan to help get a better understanding of their Muslim neighbors, the Daily Mail reported Friday, September 4.
“I urge people, particularly during Ramadan, to find out more about Islam,” Johnson said during a visit to East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre.
“Increase your understanding and learning, even fast for a day with your Muslim neighbor and break your fast at the local mosque.”

Cos we Brits can be nice sometimes…. We pretend to hate multiculturalism but after a while we fall back into it. Intolerance is tiring and after a while people go back to live and let live. I like to think that in my more optimistic moments anyway.

Johnson has said some pretty horrible things about Muslims, and while working as editor of the right-wing Spectator, provided column space for Eurabian fantasists et al. Does he believe any of it? I don’t think so. Behind a bumbling persona lies a gifted classical scholar, an award winning columnist and a shameless opportunist. In London, courting the Muslim vote is simply a very smart move.

BK,
You’ve got to read me more carefully, I’m very precise in what I write.
I clearly said a Blackamerican politician could say something like this….but in fact Obama did not say that people should fast or should learn more about Islam….and he never would.

In any event, I’m not anti-American, just anti-American politics and government.

Thanks for the inspiration. I’m gonna send my homie, American Taliban John Walker Lindh a Ramazan greeting card. Maybe some of you would like to join me:
John Walker Lindh
Reg. No. 45426-083
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 33
Terre Haute, IN 47808-0033
Not because I agree with his politics. I don’t. I hate every cretin who cannot separate religion from politics, but that is personal.
JWL is an inspiration because unlike these ungrateful bastards, one of which has a book coming out next month from his American publisher, JWL devoted himself completely to his cause and showed the courage of his convictions. Asalaam Alaikum John Walker Lindh, Peace be upon you for being more than another Che Guevara tee shirt.

I’ve just strolled through the jafisphere (while holding my nose). The dhimwits are very unhappy.

Dave Hill has some more, including links to his 2005 stuff on British Muslims.
Boris is probably one of the stupidest clever people in politics today.
