UK: Muslim leaders back Livingstone as Mayor

He's their boy.

Prominent Muslim organisations and individuals have pledged to back Ken Livingstone as mayor of London, saying it is in the "best interest" of Muslims to vote for him in this year's elections on May 1.

Such a good little dhimmi.

Ihtisham Hibatullah from the British Muslim Initiative, which organised the statement, said Livingstone was doing more to help Muslim communities than other mayoral candidates. "He supports religious freedom. He's committed to developing skills of alienated communities and he's doing great work on social cohesion. These signatories are major players; they have reach and come the elections there will be a huge mobilisation of the Muslim vote."
