The just-elected Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan is reported to have said:
If you look around, that is how it is being interpreted by some: The Daily Caller headline is "London’s New Mayor Warns Trump: Let In Muslims Or They Will Attack America".
This is not going to build any bridges.
"This isn't just about me - it's about my friends, my family and everyone who comes from a background similar to mine, anywhere in the world," he said.The second sentence is quite infelicitous. He seems to be saying -- "If you offend mainstream Muslims, then Muslim extremists will attack you". "Or you alienate us, and we will dump Western liberal values."
Mr Khan added: "Donald Trump's ignorant view of Islam could make both of our countries less safe - it risks alienating mainstream Muslims around the world and plays into the hands of extremists.
"Donald Trump and those around him think that Western liberal values are incompatible with mainstream Islam - London has proved him wrong."
