I'm sure it's happened before lol. Probably some politician in Sweden or somewhere.
But atheists make up only a tiny proportion of humans, so it's not going to happen often.

Yeah it works both ways!
I know absolutely nothing about him so I'm not praising or hating him.
I didn't even think mayors were still relevant in 2016

He was the Labour nominee, which means his views are correct.
And you know what, yes people should be happy either way that a muslim can become Mayor.
When there's so much racism, it's great to see a city electing a muslim person to office.

And that a bus driver's son won from the billionaire who could buy any privilege in life. That's equality and real freedom of not being hold back by being born to the wrong (foreign) family name, to a dad having a smaller wallet,...

Even the liberal Muslims won't be so eager to cling to their "liberalism", when they become a majority - my personal opinion. While younger generations will always be prone to going radical whenever they feel down in their lives. The difference between radical Islam and radical Christian beliefs is that Christian terrorism is virtually nonexistent.
You guys speak of liberal Muslims with Western values but yet there are too many cases of them not respecting European beliefs. That also includes homophobia, so it's beyond me why all the liberal gays support this 
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. And don't come here speaking of IRA and Basque nationalists, the risk from them is nothing compared to an army of people fighting for their spiritual beliefs. And there is really no effective way to combat Muslim radicalism (the term itself is stupid, because what they're doing is literally said in their holy book), it's being swept under the carpet. I don't want a Muslim radicalism problem and the only effective way of it is making those who are so unhappy with the rotten West leave.
Sorry for not being sorry. Like it here or leave, I don't recall Christians being treated nicely in Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia or other Muslim-dominated countries.
And about colonialism, well speak for yourself. My country did not exploit any Muslim lands and yet is being forced by the EU to accept migrant quotas. |
In the US, Muslims have only caused three terrorist attacks I remember: the one on the WTC in the 90s, 9/11, and San Bernardino. The Oklahoma City bombing was a white guy. All the president assassinations have been white guys. All of these major shootings in public places have been white guys, NOT Muslims.

White guys can be Muslims... The guys who did the Boston Marathon bombing were both white muslim extremists.
I'm in no way saying Muslims are terrorists (I'm a Muslim myself), but it's better not say "white" or "black" people in reference to Islam since it has no color

This is utterly moronic, regardless of whether or not you're trolling.
