a sad day for the Muslim and Asian communities

Not even for all Muslims, let alone all "Asians".

Good to see Boris supports Israel. I think he's a member of Conservative Friends of Israel. I just hope he doesn't tone it down for the sake of "diversity".

"Ken Livingstone, as Mayor, addressed the terrorists telling them that though they do not fear death, they must fear the fact that, whatever they may do, London will continue to be the place: “where people will arrive from all over the world to become Londoners...where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another” ...it was his style of revenge."

This is demagogic. It falsely presents the terrorists as motivated by hatred of multiculturalism and freedom. Not Jihad and the Iraq war.

This is the martyrdom message of Mohammad Sidique Khan:

"I and thousands like me are forsaking everything for what we believe. Our drive and motivation doesn't come from tangible commodities that this world has to offer. Our religion is Islam, obedience to the one true God and following the footsteps of the final prophet messenger.

Your democratically elected governments continuously perpetuate atrocities against my people all over the world. And your support of them makes you directly responsible, just as I am directly responsible for protecting and avenging my Muslim brothers and sisters.

Until we feel security you will be our targets and until you stop the bombing, gassing, imprisonment and torture of my people we will not stop this fight. We are at war and I am a soldier. Now you too will taste the reality of this situation."

Standard Leftism: If there's an idea you don't like or can't integrate into your leftist world view relegate it to demented psychology. Karl Marx did this in "The German Ideology".

Then there is this: "tragedies of 7/7." No, 7/7 was four bloody incidences of mass murder in one day.

"Boris Johnson, now his successor in office, reacted to the tragedies of 7/7 by declaring that “it is time to reassert British values..."

And what does reassertion amount to and why will it stop the terrorists?

Truly our politicians are a venal bunch of incompetent wasters.

Ken’s defeat was a sad day for the Muslim and Asian communities in London and across UK

See, this is an example of the rhetorical loathsomeness of many Muslim commentators. They not only conflate when it suits them their religion with ethnicity, they somehow imply, like he does here, that Boris Johnson's victory is in some way inimical to non Muslim 'Asians' in London.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Apart from some money seeking ethnic gravy train professionals, there is widespread delight amongst British Indian Londoners that the preposterous Livingstone, lickspittle of Islamists, has been turfed out. There is also a feeling that Boris is as cosmopolitan as they come, being married to a mixed-race lady of English and Indian Sikh background, and they feel curious about that, and rather close to him because of it.

In fact, on the whole, Hindu and Sikh Londoners rather like Boris, and, from my own insights, having talked to and gauged the opinions of my friends and families, and other people too, they are quite happy that he is mayor of London now.

On the other hand, they hold the likes of Dr Pirzada and his apologetics for Islamists and his victimhood mongering and his attempts to rope non Muslims into his moronic rabble-rousing paranoia and his knee-jerk hysteria with a contempt its difficult to describe.

Few realise it is the largest Muslim city in United Kingdom

Ah, it's a 'Muslim' city now is it?

Numbers sanctify and legitimise it, do they?

In all my life, even though more Jews live in London than any other city in the UK, I have never heard anyone say London is 'the largest Jewish city' in the UK, as if there was some great territorial demographic claim to be made to it. Ditto for Hindus and other groups.

Multiculturalism my foot. London to them isn't worth anything for its cosmopolitanism or multi-ethnic population. All that matters is Islam and the Muslim community. As if their politics, agenda and communalist sensibility is synonymous with the 'multicultural health' of London or Britain. Such arrogance and mischievousness.
