London Elects Muslim Mayor
Reaction continues to pour in around the world at news that London has elected its first Muslim mayor.
Sadiq Khan, the London-born son of Pakistani immigrants, was elected last week by a wide margin after a campaign that saw his Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith accuse him of having shared platforms with Islamic extremists.
Khan has joined with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo in a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump over his call to ban Muslims entering the U.S, as well as Trump’s suggestion that he would make an exception for Mr. Khan.
Khan says he plans to visit the US before the November election in case Trump becomes president.
UNF professor of finance Dr. Parvez Ahmed is a member of Jacksonville's Human Rights Commission and a frequent writer and commentator about the American Muslim experience. He joins us with his thoughts about the impact of Sadiq Khan's election.
