LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 03: Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, arrives at Southwark Cathedral near Borough Market to attend the first anniversary of the London Bridge terror attack on June 3, 2018 in London, England. The anniversary will be marked by a service at Southwark Cathedral to honour the emergency services' response to last year's attack on 3 June, followed by a short procession from the cathedral to Southwark Needle, at the corner of London Bridge, ending with a minute's silence at 4.30pm.

LONDON (AP) — London Mayor Sadiq Khan has told Sky News that it is up to President Donald Trump to explain why he keeps singling out the mayor for criticism.

London’s first Muslim mayor says Friday that many major cities, including Paris, Brussels and Berlin, have suffered terrorism attacks but that Trump has chosen to only criticize him. He says it’s for Trump to explain why he focuses only on Kahn.

The mayor also challenges Trump’s claim that Europe is “losing its culture” because of immigration. Khan says immigration has brought “huge” social, economic and cultural benefits to London and to Britain.

Trump heavily criticized Khan in an interview published Thursday in The Sun newspaper.

  1. London’s first Muslim mayor says Friday that many major cities, including Paris, Brussels and Berlin, have suffered terrorism attacks but that Trump has chosen to only criticize him.

    Not to mention New York, whose mayor at the time was …

    It’ll come to me.

  2. Mayoring while Muslim. Did Baby Blimp question his birth certificate?

  3. That’s a good question, Sadiq Khan. Why has Trump repeatedly criticized Sadiq Khan? If I were Sadiq Khan I’d wonder too.

  4. Vlad tells him too?

  5. I spent a week in London (for the first time) last month. There were a lot of non-English languages spoken all around, but is it any different than New York? I suppose if New York’s mayor had a last name of Khan it would of course be an issue for Shithead.

    I also had some of the best curry of my life at a Brick Lane restaurant. Brick Lane is an area with a strong Indian population, the smells walking down there were amazing.
