That looks pretty likely. Labourite Sadiq Khan is well ahead of Tory Zac Goldsmith in the polls.
The current mayor, Tory Boris Johnson, wants to be prime minister someday. If Sadiq Khan wins Boris’s office, that would start to raise the question of whether Britain might have a Muslim prime minister someday.
There are two nuclear armed Western European powers: the UK and France. Both have growing numbers of Muslim voters. Houellebecq’s Submission sketches out one path by which a Muslim politician might luck into getting his finger on a nuclear button in Europe.
American Jews really ought to start thinking about whether immigration schmaltz and refugee worship might someday in the distant future put Israel at odds with a Muslim-led Western European nuclear power?
But that doesn’t seem to have yet dawned upon organized Jewish interests in America. For example, the Anti-Defamation League is currently pushing its We Were Strangers Too campaign to browbeat the West into taking in more Muslim refugees.
But is it good for the Jews?

This guy called moderate Muslims “Uncle Toms.”

He supports homosexual “marriage,” so it looks like the only part of his tradition he’s hanging on to is the Jew hatred. It should be very interesting to see where all this leads.
Zac Goldsmith is a lousy candidate. A rich aristocratic socialite trying to appeal to proles and Hindus and Tamils was doomed from the start. People criticize the GOP for being tone-deaf but they ain’t got nothing on the Tories.
He would have had a decent chance of winning as recently as c. 8 years ago or so but the betrayers changed the electorate.
Apparently someone just unearthed a video of him on Iran’s PressTV calling moderate muslims Uncle Tom
Unfortunately Zac Goldsmith seems like an even more ineffectual version of Mitt Romney. Totally the wrong personality to play the attack dog. So every time he brings up some obvious point that shows Sadiq Khan’s dodgy past, HE ends up being called a bigot.

No. I meant nuclear weapon power, not nuclear power power.

Overall, it seems unlikely to me that having a Muslim leader with "his finger on the button" is really a danger to Israel. The problem will come, when it does, from having too many Muslims in bureaucratic positions where they can compromise security. For example, the James Bond movie Thunderball is a fantastical pre-imagining of future possible developments...

And of course Germany certainly has the ability to develop nuclear weapons quickly. Most EU countries (+ Norway and Switzerland) probably have.

Look on the bright side. Its British people who have always counted, not that specific land. Lousy weather, tapped-out natural resources and beaches made of rocks vs Shakespeare, Newton, and Churchill.

And there are already Muslim nuke weapon countries.
France is another story.

Ever wonder if thousands of years of diaspora really was just bad luck (or a few divine judgments here and there)?
No; in fact Germany is even on course to totally abandon nuclear power for its energy supply (another idiotic decision by Merkel, made after the Fukushima disaster in 2011).
What’s the problem with a muslim mayor!. He supports gay marriage. He has all the right labor opinions. We’ve had Jewish mayors in christian cities for almost a century. Apart from white nationalism or overt religious prejudice (of the Steve Emerson or daniel pipes type), is there a good reason to oppose Muslim politicians in Europe or north America?
Can a Jew, Christian, or Atheist be elected mayor of a city in Iran, Egypt, Yemen, or Saudi Arabia for example?
Btw, how many Christian politicians are there in Saudi Arabia?

Any Christian mayors of Jewish cities? Other than NYC
Actually, Jews get along better with Muslins (for example-Moorish Spain) than they do Christians, who have been their historical persecutors.
Hopefully, London will elect a Muslim mayor. It would be a start to ending the unfair privileges enjoyed by heterosexual white males in the city

The French and British nuclear arsenals should be the concern not just of Jews but of everyone. I have mentioned it on these pages before. I hope the US DoD is thinking about those arsenals.

Most are incurably liberal (2/3) and more importantly their institutions are captured entirely by that 2/3. Their motto and the motto of all liberal immigration proponents is: ” I may not agree with Muslims wanting to kill me, but I will fight to the death in order to protect a Muslim’s right to kill me”.

No matter what he does, Khan will not be the most hostile London mayor to Israel/Jews in this decade. That honor goes to former mayor Ken Livingstone.
Livingstone out-Islams Khan on just about everything, including palling around with Bengladeshi hate preachers.
British Jews sat up and took note of the Islamist/Leftist alliance with Livingstone, Galloway, and others. Khan is not a shock to the system after that.
Muhammad is the most common name among newborn baby boys in London. So I am not surprised that Londonstan will elect a Muslim for mayor. London is no longer the Anglo Saxon Protestant capital of the world.
“But is it good for the Jews?”
Could it be Europeans are siding with Muslims to knock the Jews down a few pegs?
They can’t as whites, but Muslims are ‘white guilt’ free.
If only. Does Steve think Jews are magic? Years ago, the then Chief Rabbi of Britain wrote a book warning against too much multiculturalism and Goldsmith himself has Jewish connections. Has anyone listened or cared? The average Western voter cares about one thing: ongoing welfarism. Londoners would rather Khan distribute some of Goldsmith’s wealth to them than preserve anything of their ‘nation’. That’s the simple fact of the matter. Idiotic campaigns by the ADL, one way or the other, are beyond irrelevant.
So, now Steve is pandering to the Zionists.
[The idea that ruling-class Islamists are inherently hostile to Israel is rebutted by the de facto alliance between Israel and the Saudis.]
However, Hezbollah and Assad's Syria are in the way of that prophecy's fulfillment and Iran and Russia are their only allies. Also Iran is a potential threat to the Saudis because of their Shiite minority. ISIS is for now a convenient though nasty ally of Israel and the Saudis are their Wahhabist patrons who fifty years from now Israel knows will have pissed away most of their oil wealth and will have to go back to herding camels.
All Israel needs is for Europe and the USA to accept the folks that are in the way as refugees, less the eventual slaughter of those that remain get too out of hand.

It’s funny how the deepest underlying moral foundation for any policy is the question “Is it good for the Jews?”.
The golden rule, categorical imperative, utilitarianism, liberalism, [your favorite philosophical underpinning] — all have long been implicitly superseded and obsoleted by this simple rule: “Is it good for the Jews?”.
I suppose the rule can be extended a bit by saying “Is it good for the [X]?”, where X = blacks, minorities, women, LGBTQI, the poor, the downtrodden, the children, … But while useful, in that form the rule is not so absolute.
So if you favor or object to a policy, you’re out of luck unless you can frame it this way. Implicitly, of course. It’s rather gauche, and frankly suspicious, to state that deepest of moral foundations out loud.
It’s really rather odd and almost oracular.

White nationalism is a more then good enough reason for me sport. And what you call “religious prejudice” seems to me a natural aversion to the intolerance and hatred of the dark ages cult of Islam.
Btw, how many Christian politicians are there in Saudi Arabia?
Excellent point. Jews are intelligent, but they definitely have a huge blind spot when it comes to immigration. The bizarre way they conflate modern day Muslim invaders with Ellis island of times past is a telling example of this. From my own experience I worked with this Jewish guy. He was a full blown diversity loving liberal. We later got a new boss who was an Egyptian Arab. The guy made things very miserable for him and he eventually quit. It was interesting to see him taste his own medicine. Jews may find they have someday screwed themselves with their pro-immigrant actions.

Islam is an ideology that demands death to anyone who leaves the religion, that values a woman’s testimony at half a man’s, that believes you can slander a dead man and more than that, the penalty for that is death – by a bloodthirsty mob – that believes the infidel must pay a special tax in humiliation and submission, that has created a culture wherever it prevails of no free speech, no representative democracy, female genital mutilation, honor killing, of contempt for Christians and of rabid Jew (not Zionist) hatred. And Muslims always bring their Shariah with them. Oh they call it other things – they say they are for boycotting Israel because of their “liberalism” but we all know they hate Israel for religious reasons and then try and force us to go along. Don’t tell me what to do. Muslims are leaving the hell holes they created at home to re-create them here and Muslim politicians are leading the charge. No thanks.

Steve, I notice you and Razib Khan don’t reference each other much. I assume there is a good reason for that. One of his pet peeves is people using the term “Judeo-Christian,” but this is a good example of the usefulness of that term. Jews can fit into political structures in Christian and post-Christian societies seamlessly. I find it hard to believe Muslims could unless they fundamentally abandoned their Islam…
Germany most certainly is a nuclear power, which shares its nukes among several other NATO nations. The German left went beserk in the ’70s about the presence of nuclear deterrents: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons

It’s terrible for the Jews, completely insane.
From the Jews I know, it seems like ordinary Jews know this fine well, but elite/intelligentsia Jews are able to ignore the contradiction and say that any opposition to mass immigration by Jew-hating Muslims is immoral and As Bad As Hitler.
Is this not for real or do people see that it won't do anything about Asian immigration?
Another development is that we are now seeing Labour Party politicians – Pakistani and non-Pakistani – more or less openly making explicitly open and unabashed strong antisemitic remarks in public, of the type which would have made an early 20th century Viennese rabble-rouser of a politician blush.
Ken Livingstone, a former London mayor made the rather astonishing remark that Adolf Hitler ‘was a Zionist’. Another silly (white) cow of a Labour councillor openly tweeted that ‘All Jews are disgusting and have big noses’. Naz Shah MP called on Israelis to be ‘formally relocated’, somehow forgetting that many native Britons are not too keen on her or her ilk’s presence in Britain.
– And so it goes on. The remarks range from the crude and nasty to the openly racist. And it is the LABOUR PARTY not the BNP or the National Front which is doing it. The Labour Party, the British version of the shittier type of your Democrats. I can only surmise that because their tiny little minds somehow classify Jews as ‘whites’ or even ‘super-whites’ ‘oppressing’ brown people is why the racial hatred is open and explicit.
Also, Labour increasingly rely on the non-white vote to hold power, so in part it’s a naked power bid – the more you bash Jews, the more Muslims will vote for you.
– Demographics predict permanent Labour Party rule by mid century. The antisemitic position will only harden and become more explicit and open. Expect Der Sturmer type caricatures of ‘big noses’ avaricious capitalists and skull caps – all produced by white English people to appease Muslims.

As Don McLean might have sung 'they did not listen now and they did not listen then'
While we’re on this subject.
You ask:
Some may criticize you for asking that question based on the presumption that American Jews have disproportionate influence on the formation of American public policy.
(Duh, because it happens to be true.)
But something else you said and something I read a few weeks ago, an anti-Trump screed that lauded National Review for its perpetual purges through the decades, a screed which praised Buckley for wanting to appeal to “New York cultural elites,” (code word: Jews), made me figure something out.
You sometimes in this space relay a second hand quote from Rupert Murdoch, in which he said that he does not need all New York Jews on his side, he only needs some of them.
Let’s say that in your social circle, every one hates a bizarre esoteric dish of food, say, peanut butter avocado stew. This means that within those confines, it’s easy to bash both the stew and the people who like it, because there will be no immediate social repercussions for those who do so.
But let’s say that all of a sudden, your social circle one day changes such that 10% of the people in it love peanut butter avocado stew. Sure, you and the other 90% hate it. But, just the mere presence even in a severe minority sense of people that like it in your circles, means that openly bashing people that like it is no longer a real world possibility, and even your criticism of the dish has to be measured and tactful.
The hard truth of the matter is that the American national news media is the critical choke point around American public policy formation, and New York Jews are the critical choke point around the American national news media.
Rupert Murdoch realizes that.
And I think it’s something that Bill Buckley, a New Yorker himself, figured out back in the 1950s.
What I now think that Buckley meant by “stand athwart history and yell stop” is that he was going to water down what passed for mainstream American conservative ideology and strip it of any nationalist pretense or implications such that enough New York Jews agreed with it and adopted it, “enough,” say, 10%, such that those 10% start circulating through the social circles that media-involved New York Jews operate in, and force the other 90% of leftist Jews to tolerate conservatism, precisely because conservatives are suddenly in their faces every day, even if the leftist Jews never had any intention of becoming any sort of conservatives themselves.
Therefore, since New York Jews started at least tolerating conservatism, and in the case of 10% of them, agreeing with it, this meant that conservatism got a fair hearing in the national media, and was not 24/7 bashed and trashed and ridiculed, and therefore, it made the path to conservatism becoming a legitimate competitor in the serious arena of American public policy far far far easier.
Since the media are the choke point for policy, and NY Jews are the choke point for the media, Buckley decided to appoint himself the choke point for the conservatism, or rather, between conservatism and NY Jews.
So, when you implore American Jews to think that perhaps immigration restriction might be in their best interests, you’re just realizing what Murdoch and Buckley already have/did, that if it, or anything, has a serious chance of being adopted, then enough New York Jews have to agree with it.
As for me, I wonder if it’s such a good idea for a small niche tribe of people on one island in one city to have such a disproportionate level of power over American socio-political-cultural affairs. But then I catch myself and step back, because I know that just asking the question is tantamount to building the gas chambers brick by brick with my own hands.

I don’t know what Khan’s personal religious views are, but I saw first hand what his Deobandi Wahabbist Muslim followers did in Tooting in 2010 to get him re-elected as Labour MP – whipping up a sectarian campaign against the Ahmadiyya Muslims (the Lib Dem candidate was Ahmadiyya). When the Tory candidate Mark Clarke visited the Tooting Islamic Centre they tried to kill him – he’s south Asian-ancestry too & they mistakenly thought HE was the Ahmadiyya guy – he had to hide in the toilets with a mob at the door.
Khan is unlikely to impose Sharia in office but he will pack City Hall as Red Ken did, he will show favouritism to ‘his’ guys, and going by 2010 his 2020 re-election campaign ‘keep a Muslim Mayor for a Muslim city!’ – will be really bad; the way things are going I can easily see mass violence, voter intimidation etc.
Not difficult to find information on NATO’s nuclear arsenal. The Belgians have already risked China Syndrome or Chernobyl scenarios by hiring Muslims to run their reactors. With a population increase of tens of millions of Muslims in upcoming decades, the likelihood of radicals infiltrating the PC militaries of Western Europe to commandeer nukes is a near certainty. Who would stop them?

How will London’s huge black population deal with being effectively ‘shut out’ by Pakistani Muslims?
So I think the non-Muslim ones will end up being black flighted but where to?
Black v Muslim conflict in London has traditionally been very limited, as has inter-racial conflict in general. You get a lot more intra-Muslim conflict and intra-black conflict. Pakistani/Bangladeshi Muslim gangs fight Muslim gangs, black (inc mixed race*) gangs fight other black gangs, Tamils fight Tamils and as far as I know, Turks mostly fight Turks.
*As well as black gangs there are mixed-race gangs with some black & (male) white members. There isn't the level of black-white racial polarisation in London that you get in the US or even some other parts of the UK.
Khan could spark hostility from blacks, but going by the past it's much more likely to be elite black activists feeling shut out of the Diversity spoils redirected to Muslims, not a street phenomenon. Islamic expansion in London is fairly conservative and still mostly in the first stage of the Mohammed/Mao trinity for unconventional/Islamic warfare (1. consolidation 2. guerilla war 3. conventional war), the focus is still on creating secure base areas like Tower Hamlets that they can control, not on large scale offensives to conquer Brixton say.

Presumably Steve doesn’t care that much about what’s good for the Jews — a bit, sure, but not that much. His concern is for the greater American population. However, here we see him using one of the best weapons in his arsenal of arguments against out-of-control immigration by asking (frankly, a little plaintively), “Is it good for the Jews?”
It’s as if the “Elephants and the Jewish Question” joke had metastasized. Now it’s not the Jews, but everyone who is stuck having to perpetually write “X and the Jewish Question” papers on any topic they have an interest in.

The Chosen People were not promised Arabia by Yahweh but the lands west of the Euphrates. So the Saudi Royals have little to fear from Israel but much to fear from their own homegrown fanatics that are best sent on Jihad abroad as ISIS cannon fodder.
However, Hezbollah and Assad’s Syria are in the way of that prophecy’s fulfillment and Iran and Russia are their only allies. Also Iran is a potential threat to the Saudis because of their Shiite minority. ISIS is for now a convenient though nasty ally of Israel and the Saudis are their Wahhabist patrons who fifty years from now Israel knows will have pissed away most of their oil wealth and will have to go back to herding camels.
All Israel needs is for Europe and the USA to accept the folks that are in the way as refugees, less the eventual slaughter of those that remain get too out of hand.

There’s already a lot of low level conflict and yes that will be the big battle now the native blue collar population have been cleansed but the rate of Muslim immigration is so high they are being out numbered very fast. A lot of the recent black immigration has been Muslims also.

This is what happens when you import a demographic that is ethnically, religiously and culturally disparate from the indigenous population. Then allow them to have multiple wives and bring their relatives over, paying them to reproduce at industrial speed. This coupled with the growing number of mixed race babies born to white women, the English people have willfully set themselves on the march to extinction.
Both groups are about 12.5% of London population – there is so much immigration from sub-Sahara and eastern Europe to offset the Muslim immigration that the numbers seem fairly stable.

“I’d be surprised if they ever get to 10% of the population, frankly.”
Well, you’d be wrong. Muslims are already nearly 10% of the births in England and Wales.
Given their higher birthrate and continued immigration (even if it is reduced), Muslims will certainly constitute more than 10% of the UK (yes, I understand that Scotland and N. Ireland have few Muslims at the moment) in time. More importantly, Muslims will constitute 10% or more of the under-40 population – the part of the population that commits crimes, blows things up and controls the streets – in the near future in England and Wales. Those percentages will be significantly higher in urban areas.
Why people look at current population numbers and not births to judge the impact of immigration always baffles me. Maybe these people don’t have children. I do. I look at the world from the children’s lense. It’s not good, either in the U.S. or England.

Yes.
According to the UK – ONS – Office for National Statistics – half a decade ago Muslims made up 12.4% of London’s population. Given that the UK Muslim population nearly doubled in the decade before, and is still growing rapidly – due to high birthrates, chain-migration and secondary Muslim immigration from the rest of the EU – and given that we are now half a decade beyond the 2011 census, the number and percentage of Muslims in London will be well north of that now.

Muslims have no magical powers to lead other people where they don’t want to go. Unless there are millions of ordinary Europeans yearning for Israel’s destruction and waiting for someone to lead them, a Muslim prime minister will make no difference whatsoever.
London already HAD a mayor who’s antagonistic to Israel — Ken Kivingstone. And the guy who took the lead in condemning him and Labour for antisemitism was…Sadiq Khan! No amount of demographic change will alter the fact that Israel is fundamentally aligned with the West and, unlike Apartheid South Africa, is internally coherent.
Should be obvious that diaspora Jews put their domestic concerns (pro-immigration, anti-racism, homosexual advocacy) ahead of support for Israel, only ~20% of them vote for the slavishly pro-Israel conservative parties.

Wasn’t in favour of Sadiq Khan either as he seemed like another Labour mediocrity, would have voted for Tessa Jowell instead if she had been nominated.
I would vote for Sadiq now, the Tories have run a quite disgusting, blundering, race-baiting campaign on behalf of a candidate who is simply not fit for purpose. It is hilarious they claim Sadiq associated with pro-IS elements when Zac’s former brother in law Imran Khan (former cricket star and now Pakistani politician who came by to campaign for him) is one of the biggest apologists for the Taliban on the domestic scene.
As far as the Deobandi Wahabbist element goes, that element was long ago cheesed off by Sadiq’s rebranding to make himself more appealing to a non-Muslim electorate I.e. they reckon he was completely unhelpful in the Babar Ahmed extradition case. There was a fair proportion of the Muslim vote who were open to voting for Zac out of disenchantment with Labour machine politics, that is extremely unlikely to happen now.
Sadiq was referring to the Quilliam Foundation as being uncle Toms, that is a widely shared perception. They only keep going because of government funding. Their head is a former radical Islamist and long-standing idiot. He was caught getting ejected from a strip club during Ramadan for being drunk and harassing lap-dancers on his stag night by the Daily Mail.

Black and Muslim immigrants generally started off in different areas and then spread out from the epicenter like an ink spot gradually cleansing the surrounding native population.
