Sadiq Khan is using his first trip to the U.S. since becoming London’s first Muslim mayor to criticize Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The Chicago Tribune reports Khan said Thursday evening that Trump was representing the views of “extremists” when he said mainstream Muslims can’t have Western values. Khan says he’s a “big fan” of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton who should be “infusing, energizing people to vote” for her.
Khan talked to reporters after speaking at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, where he focused on social integration.
The London mayor plans to tour the city Friday with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The two are expected to stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk, visit a digital startup community and dine at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Question – did he criticize all the terrorist acts and the their leaders that promote violence or just the Donald?!?
EU is a big failure! Do we really want to be like that?
Tell him to get lost
I’ll bet he also criticizes Israel from profiling in Arab countries they don’t have this issue because they shoot anybody opposed to them they r equal opportuninity discriminatory let him knock his own people of his big mouth has the guts
#1 The EU might be a big failure but the USA has 48 out of 50 states that are so broke they’ve mortgaged government buildings. Looks like China, Saudi Arabia and a few other nice guys basically own your country. And now you have a choice for president between two candidates who don’t seem to know what truth means. Not only that, the lies they use are so stupid you wonder if they stayed in junior school.
Would you have belived twenty years ago that a mayor from London would dare talk like that???
This proves Donald Trumps points even more!
Here’s to hoping he becomes another casualty in the Wild West that is Chicago.
Let him go back to London. He is afraid of Trump winning.
Trump must win, Clinton would be a disaster for Jews and for Israel.
YOU have enough problems running your own city stay out of American politics you idiot
