He's British born. Does anyone have any heartburn over this? Just askin'.
Don't know that much about him yet.
I'm sure it is leaving a bad taste in at least a few people's mouths. And if left untreated, a nasty case of indigestion could develop.
Don't think I could care less.
It shouldn't really matter to folks I don't think, no more than if he was a any other religion...but hey I'm from Dearborn (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/02/02/dearborn-mi-where-muslims-are-americans.html), MI home to the largest population of Muslims in the US, and it certainly wouldn't bother me if I was a Londoner.
Came across this related (http://www.juancole.com/2016/05/londons-nothing-european.html) article earlier today, and thought it interesting.
The only thing that I heard, was that some people try to link him to some Muslim extremist groups. Rumor has it that he also supports Sharia law.
Unless these accusations are true, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Muslim mayors of European cities, can do an excellent job for all his/her citizens (like the mayor of Rotterdam Ahmed Aboutaleb (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Aboutaleb))
Just watched him on the Andrew Marr show. I can see why some people hate him. He's just a guy who is also a Muslim. A terrifying idea for some bigots.
Which posters on HAF actually live in London?
