My support is not on the basis of Sadiq being a Muslim or the son of a bus driver who has made good but because he has promoted the cause of Muslims within the Labour Party as his Fabian pamphlet and membership of the Labour Friends of Palestine proves.
The reality is its not easy being a Muslim MP on the one hand you have the bearded wonders who fail to understand that occasionally in a country which is 98 % non Muslim you support a view that most Muslims don't and alternatively your political promotion is watched like a hawk by those Israelites who wish you political harm.
Sadiq makes mistakes like all politicians however, London Muslim fails to understand why David Miliband was asked by Sadiq to visit Tooting. Miliband as I have made clear on numerous occasions has always acted as an Israeli Foreign Secretary rather than simply acting as a British Foreign Secretary. Milliband never criticises Israel for Nuclear ambiguity but does not miss a trick to express concern and a desire for sanctions on Iran due to its Nuclear ambition.
What on earth possessed Sadiq to behave so irresponsibly. While he is fighting for his political life in Tooting and a Met Investigation into his expenses one would think he had the political nounce to not invite a Foreign Secretary whose nose has been up Israel's arse for far to long.
That's my problem with this MP. His political ambitions get the better of him. Why alientate your core support?
ReplyDeleteyou do know Miliband was at the local mosque don't you?
