Muslim Council asks why Trump banquet excluded Sajid Javid

The Muslim Council of Britain has written to Theresa May asking her if Sajid Javid was not invited to the state banquet with Donald Trump because he is of Muslim heritage.

Britain’s leading Islamic organisation asked the outgoing prime minister why the home secretary appeared to be the only senior cabinet minister not invited and whether that was done to avoid antagonising the US president.

“There are fears that our nation is willing to give up on our principles of fairness and equality for all, in order to placate President Trump, even going so far as to exclude our home secretary solely due to his Muslim heritage,” the letter concludes.

“In this letter, we are seeking to clarify whether this was actually the case,” writes Harun Khan, the secretary general of the MCB. Trump under fire over Islamophobia after man threatens to kill Ilhan Omar Read more

Javid was the most notable senior minister not to be invited to the state dinner on Monday night, where 170 guests were served with Windsor lamb and strawberry sable in the ballroom of Buckingham Palace.

As well as the prime minister, other senior cabinet ministers present included Jeremy Hunt, the foreign secretary, Phillip Hammond, the chancellor, David Lidington, the cabinet office minister, Michael Gove, the environment secretary, the defence secretary, Penny Mordaunt and the trade secretary, Liam Fox.

Ask her to make a statement condemning sharia law. See how “fairly” these barbarians respond.

Are acid attacks part of their fairness and equality routine?

Much ado about nothing. Trump had a meeting with Sajid Javid so he wasn’t excluded from the banquet to keep him away from Trump.

Well, that’s six. According to the below link there are 22 cabinet members currently. How many others didn’t go to the state dinner?

This sounds like a case of “I’m special because I’m Muslim. Why wasn’t I invited to dinner. Wahhhhh!”

“”Invitations for the event were issued by Buckingham Palace with input from Downing Street and the US embassy. Downing Street has previously only said that “the invitations to the state banquet were organised and led by Buckingham Palace””

They could have skipped printing the article as it amounted to nothing anyway! Of course, we had to get to the bottom of the article to read the truth..

He was not invited because he was viciously attacking president Trump.

He wasn’t invited because the Crown did not want him to violate his Ramadan fast.

The State Dinner was scheduled for 8:45 PM BST and sunset wasn’t until 9:15 PM BST

Reckon a guess here, but Islam isn’t about the west, and thus Trump wants nothing to do with invaders, even invited ones, in another country?

Yep, the London Mayor went on record creating havoc, a storm and hatred...WHY would he be expected to attend a gala dinner.. YEAH...because he is Muslim. PLAY the Race Card, it always has worked, but it won’t anymore.

“”Jan 27, 2017 · Trump Bars Refugees and Citizens of 7 Muslim Countries.””

That’s how long ago the ban was issued on immigration to the US from muslim countries and these idiots can’t let go of it. Well, we won’t let go of 9/11/2001 either - EVER!

I doubt Trump has any problems with Javid seeing as he met with him separately as opposed to waving to him across the room at a large banquet.

Also saw the following:

If this were how the vast majority of muslims were raised and acted, the ‘extremists’ wouldn’t have a place to exist, and muslims would be welcomed everywhere. Unfortunately, there are far more Sadiq Khan’s than Sajid Javid’s.

muslinism is not a heritage - it is a war plan.
