Sadiq Khan says Donald Trump’s language on Muslims is similar to ISIS<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sadiq Khan says Donald Trump’s language on Muslims is similar to ISIS:- Sadiq Khan has accused Donald Trump of aping ISIS with his divisive anti-Muslim rhetoric.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mayor of London said the US president is “playing their game” by using a “clash of civilisations” rhetoric.<\/span><\/p>\n

Khan, a practicing Muslim, urged Trump to “think about what you are saying” when he speaks about the faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also said was offended by the travel ban to the US on majority-Muslim countries, and the president’s offer to make an exception for Khan.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told a Guardian event at the Labour Party’s annual conference on Sunday: “My view was firstly ‘I\u2019m not exceptional’ and secondly ‘Think about what you are saying.’ Because what you are saying is not dissimilar to what Daesh or so-called IS says.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They say that there is a clash of civilisations, it is not possible to be a Muslim and a westerner, and the west hates us. And you are inadvertently playing their game, you are helping them.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Khan said that Trump’s travel ban, which restricts access to the US from a number of Muslim-majority countries, gives the “wrong impression” of the religion.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday the White House changed up the specifics of the travel ban, adding Chad, North Korea and Venezuela while dropping Sudan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Khan said: “I\u2019m a westerner, but also a very proud Muslim. There are some people who want to divide our communities \u2013 I\u2019m not going to let them.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mayor of London also said that he was a “reluctant participant” in the argument between himself and Trump, which included the US president tweeting criticism of Khan after the London Bridge attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday morning Labour’s shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry said that the way Trump speaks is like a “rogue dictator,” and complained that “This government and this Tory prime minister pathetically go along with it all.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Thornberry labelled the government “supine, sycophantic and spineless” over its failure to stand up to the US president.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Corbyn wot won it<\/span>
\nWhen asked why Labour managed to achieve 40% of the vote in the general election and deprive the Conservatives of a parliamentary majority, Khan said there was one main reason: “Jeremy Corbyn.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mayor of London said that Labour had “let Jeremy be Jeremy” and praised the party’s manifesto and Corbyn’s success in motivating old and young people to vote for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the Labour leader spoke in tune with the public’s concerns over inequality: “He wasn\u2019t doing it to triangulate. He was authentic. Jeremy has always believed that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While Labour did not win the general election, Khan said the “direction of travel” was right and that he believes Corbyn is on course to be the next prime minister.<\/span><\/p>\n
