London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan and Woke Ideology: Why would a Muslim leader follow radical leftist ideology when it goes against Muslim teachings?
American Thinker ^ | 06/30/2023 | Eileen F. Toplansky

Our cousins across the pond apparently have jumped on the woke bandwagon and the Muslim Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is leading the charge.

In fact, Sadiq Khan's staff have been banned from calling people 'men and women' as part of a new inclusivity drive.

Pictured is an example of some of the banned phrases issued to staff working for the London Mayor's office. 

In the guide's section on gender, staff was told: 'Avoid using "men and women" - say "people" or "Londoners".

'Similarly, instead of ‘ladies and gentlemen' say something that doesn't exclude non-binary people.'

The memo reportedly goes on to say the terms male and female are 'dated and medicalised' and that 'female humans are called 'girls and/or women', male humans are called 'boys and/or men'.

Workers are also told that 'not all women have periods' and to use the phrase 'people affected by period poverty' as some trans men and non-binary people may have periods too.

Staff working for Mr. Khan must no longer call someone a 'non-English speaker' because it portrays them as flawed and defective'. 

Instead, Greater London Authority employees must refer to them as ’Londoners with English Language needs'.

Unconscious bias training is mandatory for all new staff at the Greater London Authority (GLA). The GLA’s inclusive language guide was last updated in April 2022.

A spokesperson for the GLA said: 'This guide is about encouraging precision, offering recommendations and highlighting things for staff to consider, not banning words.

Instead, Greater London Authority employees must refer to them as ’Londoners with English Language needs'.

Because, dear friends, it’s to contain the native Brit until Muslims are ready to take over.

Sadiq Khan has stood up for United States Rep. Ilhan Omar and the rest of ‘The Squad’ as he joined dozens of British politicians in condemning U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘blatant unashamed racism’ against the four Democratic congressional representatives ( THE SQUAD ).

I’ll field that one. Radical leftist ideology weakens the West. The Muslims are all for anything that weakens the West.

But just you wait, radical leftists. If (or when) the UK institutes Sharia Law, all your precious woke ideas will go bye-bye. Object, and you’ll be thrown off a rooftop.

I saw a picture of Khan leading a ‘Pride’ parade...told me all I needed about him.

What blows my mind isn’t him, he’s transparent, it’s that the Leftists in the UK really think he’s on their side, and apparently are blind to the fact that they will be the FIRST PEOPLE to be ‘re-educated’, once the transition to Muslim rule is completed for the UK.

Hindus and Muslims will be fighting each other over who controls Britain.

Why? They sure don’t know anything about muslims and Islam if they ask that seriously.

Because he’s Deep State.

The UK has one, too.

What they don’t have, and desperately need, is a Trump.

The old “opiate for the masses” is out, the opiate for the classes (or should I say asses) is in.

Maybe he’s a leftist who happens to be a Muslim.

Is there any indication that he’s a “Muslim leader” in the sense of being a leader of the religion?

Beacuse the stupid mayor of London may use his religion for political purposes, he is likely far more a Leftist than a devout Muslim.

Control the people’s tongue, and you are able to control all.

“Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.” James 3:4-5

Liberals are liberals first and foremost and their religion takes a back seat. Just look at Catholics who support abortion, Jews that vote for antisemites, etc. etc.
