US Presidential candidate Donald Trump had earlier mentioned that the newly elected
London Muslim Mayor, Sadiq Khan is exempted from his Muslim US ban when he becomes president of America.
In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Sadiq Khan reacted to the comment and
revealed that he hopes Donald Trump does not win the U.S. presidential
election. He said,
“Iโm really proud London
choose Unity over division. My message to Donald Trump and his team is
that,
you know, your views of Islam are ignorant. It is possible to be a
Muslim and
to live in the West. It is possible to be a Muslim and to love America.
By giving the impression that Islam and the West are incompatible,
you are playing into the hands of the extremists. I’m not exceptional.
So for
Donald Trump to say, ‘Oh, but Mayor Khan can be allowed, but not the
rest is
ridiculousโ and Iโm hoping heโs not going to win.โ
