London Elects Muslim Mayor

For the first time in British history “Sadiq Khan, a practicing Muslim and Labour Party politician, has been elected mayor of London, marking a political milestone in the world” (CNN, May 6, 2016). In his victory speech, Mr. Khan claimed to be a mayor for all Londoners, though many speculate about his true motives. In 2006, Khan attended “a rally with an extremist Muslim leader… Dr Azam Tamimi, a senior figure in the Muslim Association of Britain” and later defended the speaker’s use of genocidal language (The Sun, February 8, 2016). Mr. Khan has also “faced fresh questions over his extremist links after it emerged his ex-brother-in-law was a hate preacher” (The Sun, February 12, 2016).

It may prove significant that a Muslim mayor will now lead London, a city that has played a major role in Western civilization for centuries and the capital of a modern Israelite nation. The Bible has long warned that if Israelite nations walk contrary to God’s laws, “the alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower” (Deuteronomy 28:15, 43), and that “those who hate you shall reign over you” (Leviticus 26:17). God inspired Hosea to call backsliding Ephraim (modern-day Britain) a “silly dove without sense” (Hosea 7:11). As the future unfolds, Londoners will have a chance to see what the fruits of this historic election will be.
