I have a number of issues with Sadiq Khan but one of my main issues with him is his and his supporters' focus on him being a Muslim. I strongly believe that a person's race, gender, sexual orientation, etc... should have nothing to do with his or her election to a position of power. London is a very important city, both economically and politically. If he's voted simply because 'his religion will send a message to the U.K.'s enemies'. then we should perhaps forget discussing policies at all and just go and pick minorities from East London.
