London’s Muslim Mayor Refuses To Support Ban On Hezbollah
2016-07-21
[BREITBART] London’s new and first Moslem mayor Sadiq Khan has refused to back a request for the terrorist outfit Hezbollah to be a proscribed organization.

Following a question from UK Independence Party (UKIP) London Assembly member David Kurten, Mr. Khan said that he would not back a ban on the group which has recently had supporters and sympathisers protesting with its famous yellow jihadi flag at ’Al Quds Day’ in London.

Mr. Kurten asked the question in the discussion following Assembly member Kemi Badenoch’s question: "What action is the Metropolitan Police Service taking against the use of flags representing designated terrorist organizations as seen during the recent al-Quds Day march in London on July 3rd?"

While Mr. Khan said he understood "the concerns of the Jewish community, and the distress these flags cause many Londoners", he also said "It would not be appropriate... to comment on an ongoing police investigation" and that he would not commit to pushing for a ban on the "political wing" of Hezbollah.
