London's election of Sadiq Khan, its first Muslim mayor is being hailed by the Left as a sign of progress. Mr. Khan was sworn-in at a Multi-Faith Ceremony using a Quran rather than a Bible. Females accompanying the new mayor wore the hijab and Islamic attire common in their non-Christian culture. Buses in London and other English cities are being adorned with large signs bearing the incantation "Subhan Allah" (Glory to Allah.)
Whenever any aspect of Western civilization is altered or eliminated, Leftists consider it an improvement. But Americans and Europeans have learned that radical societal changes can make things worse instead of better. So it is premature, and naive, to assume that London's first Muslim mayor will have a positive effect on British society. All we can say is that it represents a significant alteration to centuries-old English traditions. In America, the public is conflicted over the ongoing elimination of American traditions. Unfortunately, those who want to abolish them largely control the media. Indeed, America's long-held moral values have become easy targets for Saturday Night Live comedy skits.
