New London Mayor's First Order of Business

If you thought it would be a speech given to a local mosque, you'd be wrong.

London's new mayor makes Holocaust memorial his first official function]

Sadiq Khan, London's newly elected mayor and the first Muslim to head a Western capital, on Sunday made attending British Jewry's annual memorial to the millions of Jews slain in the Holocaust his first official function in office.

Khan's appearance at the north London ceremony came days after the end of a racially charged election campaign, during which Conservative Party opponents sought to portray him as an apologist for Islamic extremism and highlighted cases of alleged anti-Semitism within the ranks of Khan's Labour Party.

Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Khan said he was "honored that my first public engagement will be such a poignant one, where I will meet and hear from Jewish survivors and refugees who went through unimaginable horrors in the Holocaust," the Guardian reported.

The event inside a rugby stadium brought together thousands from London's Jewish community, including more than 150 Holocaust survivors and a combined choir from five Jewish elementary schools.

This "nationalist" couldn't even get two critical sentences out about the mayor before whining about his ties to some guy who said something about killing Jews and homosexuals.

Great finds, Maz.

Khan seems to be a wee bit of a Kahn, it seems.

And, thanks for saying to listen to the first few sentences.  Couldn't tolerate any more than that from this irritating voice.  Ouch, me ears!
