Is Donald Trump ill? Otherwise what would explain such imbecility?

[longwayoff]

Has he missed some 💊 on his international flight? Who visits someone and promptly pisses on the doorstep? His comments about Sadiq Khan are beyond disgraceful. Disgusting creature.

“You can't say it's not sneaky, BertrandRussell...“

Dann cunning, these wily oriental fellows...

I think that was meant to say that Kahn supports Sharia Law. I haven't heard anything to suggest that this is the case, but I don't know enough about him to comment really.

bluyewavysea, leaving aside the evidence that 40% of Muslims actually support the replacing of British Law with Sharia Law, your maths does seem slightly problematic here.

Given that 60% of Muslims (according to you) do NOT support the introduction of Sharia Law, why would it be so hard to believe SK is not one of them? Last time I checked, 60 was actually a bigger number than 40.

“ I haven't heard anything to suggest that this is the case, but I don't know enough about him to comment really.”
So surely you should assume that he doesn’t?

Here's some help for you, Lizzie48. You must have missed this earlier on the thread. It's worth clicking to see the full video.

SADIQ KHAN CONDEMNS US ABORTION BANS IN NEW ANTI-TRUMP VIDEO TO MARK STATE VISIT
www.independent.co.uk/life-style/women/trump-uk-visit-sadiq-khan-us-abortion-ban-law-feminism-london-a8941916.html

To coincide with the visit, the London Mayor addressed Trump directly in a short clip for ELLE UK, arguing that the US leader's views are completely at odds with those upheld by the British people.

“What we are seeing in the USA is a rolling back of the reproductive rights of women,” Khan said of the restrictive abortion policies that have recently passed in conservative states such as Ohio, and Alabama, where legislation was passed to ban terminations in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

“We’ve got a situation now where some states in the USA are making it almost impossible for women to have the right to an abortion,” Khan continued.
[...]
Khan concluded his powerful video by calling on men and boys to stand up for gender equality.

I'm pretty sure Sadiq Khan has my interests closer to heart than does the pussy-grabber who is packing the US Supreme Court with right-wing anti-abortion judges.

That makes him against Sharia Law, not for it. Okay, that's what I thought then. He's definitely not for Sharia Law, as he's pro women's rights.

I just couldn't believe any poster would suggest that Trump was pro Sharia Law, so that's why I asked the question.

And no, I didn't see the link, as I joined the thread quite late, thank you for that.

Ahh the old 40 percent of Muslims support sharia law chestnut.

One its "aspects of Sharia law" not imposition of it totally. It also wilfully disingenuous as the same research shows that only 6 percent of Muslims would support imposition of full sharia law in the UK.

@bluewavysea -are you there?

How strange that women who like to think of themselves as feminists appear to support Sharia law. Or if not support aren't shouting from the rooftops against it.

I think that a lot of Sharia law is utterly horrendous and will happily shout from the rooftops about it.

Why do you think Khan supports it?

Obviously not the main point here, but I did look to try to find the basis of the '40% of Muslims support Sharia Law' assertion.

I think it comes from a 2007 poll, in which 59% of British Muslims said they'd prefer to live under British Law. However, only 28% said they'd prefer to live under Sharia Law (the rest were presumably not sure).

A more recent, 2016 poll had 24% of British Muslims surveyed saying that they would like Sharia Law to be introduced in some areas.

So yeah, can't find any support for the 40% figure. Looks like it's closer to a quarter.

And, as everyone else has observed, there's no apparent basis for thinking Khan would be in the minority who prefer Sharia Law (rather, that he actually practiced for years with the English & Welsh legal system seems to suggest otherwise...)

Given that 60% of Muslims (according to you) do NOT support the introduction of Sharia Law, why would it be so hard to believe SK is not one of them? Last time I checked, 60 was actually a bigger number than 40.
I said that given that 40% do support it it shouldn't be a surprise that he did. It was in response to the shock at the very suggestion.

Isn't it Sharia law that requires Muslims to respect and protect people of the book ?

“I said that given that 40% do support it it shouldn't be a surprise that he did. It was in response to the shock at the very suggestion.”
There is huge evidence that he doen’t support the introduction of Sharia Law and absolutely none that he does. You stated categorically tht he did. Why?

How strange that a poster who likes to think of themselves as feminist* appears to support Trump. Or if not support isn't shouting from the rooftops against him.

*I have no idea if you think of yourself as feminist. But you're making shit up, so I thought I'd join in.

BTW, bluewavysea, could you comment on Trump's claim he sexually assaulted women?

And also on his appointment of anti-abortion judges, one of whom is also accused of rape?

Ta.

If 40% support it then statistically he doesn’t support it cos of, you know, Maths.

Ipso Facto if all Muslims support sharia law because 40% do, then all the U.K. voters want to remain in the EU because 49% do. Hooray! Brexit is cancelled!!

Perkingfaintly I think Trump's vile, i hate everything he stands for, I hate them both, anything else? You're welcome.

Yes. Why do you hate Sadiq Khan?

And why do you bundle him up with Donald Trump?

@bluewavysea
Could you explain why you think Khan is a supporter of Sharia
Law?

they never answer:

sadiq khan wants sharia law/ objecting to trump is anti-semitic...

they have no evidence, no facts, no analysis, nothing just their unsubstantiated little opinions.

the worse thing is: they dont even realise how thick they come across.

No it isn't thick at all, what on earth do you find to admire about him. The "part and parcel of being in a city remark was appalling.
