Sadiq Khan's rise came just more than a decade after Pakistanis in Britain faced huge backlash (File)
Since London Mayor Sadiq Khan rose to become one of the most prominent Muslim politicians in Western Europe, he hasn't been shy about his disdain for President Trump's rhetoric, particularly his remarks about Islam.
Yet on Sunday, as Trump criticized the mayor's attempts to evoke order in a city shaken by a terrorist attack that killed seven people and injured dozens more, the fast-talking mayor was uncharacteristically restrained toward the president.
But Sunday morning, Trump posted a tweet presenting the mayor's words in a tone and context that were entirely different: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'"
The tweet revived the president's long-running row with the mayor, who has time and time again spoken out about the president's anti-Muslim policies and remarks. But in this instance, the mayor decided to take a quieter route. And that, for some, created for an even sharper response.
The mayor "has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump's ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police - including armed officers - on the streets," a Khan representative said in a statement.
