Sadiq Khan vs. Donald Trump

    The most important political event of recent weeks was not the emergence of Donald J. Trump as the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republican Party but the election of Sadiq Khan, the Muslim son of a London bus driver, as mayor of London.
  Trump has not won any kind of political office yet, but Khan, the Labour Party candidate, crushed Zac Goldsmith, a Conservative, to take charge of one of the world’s great cities, a vibrant metropolis where every tongue is heard. In his victory, a triumph over the slurs that tried to tie him to Islamist extremism, Khan stood up for openness against isolationism, integration against confrontation, opportunity for all against racism and misogyny. He was the anti-Trump. Before the election, Khan said “I’m a Londoner, I’m a European, I’m British, I’m English, I’m of Islamic faith, of Asian origin, of Pakistani heritage, a dad, a husband”.
    The world of the 21st century is going to be shaped by such elided, many-faceted identities and by the booming cities that celebrate diversity, not by some bullying, brash, bigoted, “America first” white dude who wants to build walls. It is worth noting that under the ban on Muslim noncitizens entering the country that Trump proposes, Khan would not be allowed to visit the United States. To use one of Trump’s favorite phrases, this would be a “complete and total disaster”.
    Khan’s election is important because it gives the lie to the facile trope that Europe is being taken over by jihadi Islamists. It underscores the fact that terrorist acts hide a million quiet success stories among European Muslim communities. One of seven children of a Pakistani immigrant family, Khan grew up in public housing and went on to become a human rights lawyer and government minister. He won more than 1.3 million votes in the London election, a personal mandate unsurpassed by any politician in British history. His election is important because the most effective voices against Islamist terrorism come from Muslims, and Khan has been prepared to speak out. After the Paris attacks last year, he said in a speech that Muslims had a “special role” to play in countering the terrorism, “not because we are more responsible than others, as some have wrongly claimed, but because we can be more effective at tackling extremism than anyone else”.
    Trump as a politician is a product of American fear and anger above all. In the past several weeks, a U.C. Berkeley student has been escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight because he was heard speaking Arabic, and an olive-skinned, curly haired Italian Ivy League economist was taken off an American Airlines flight because he was spotted scribbling mathematical calculations that his seatmate found suspicious. When Trump declares, “America First will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,” the rest of the world hears an angry nation flexing its muscles.
    Khan has argued that greater integration is essential and “too many British Muslims grow up without really knowing anyone from a different background”.
    Put together an egotist, a bully, immense power and you have a dangerous brew that could put civilization at risk. Those small fingers would have access to the nuclear codes if Trump was elected. In this context, Sadiq Khan’s victory is reassuring because he represents currents in the world — toward global identity and integration — that will prove stronger over time than the tribalism and nativism of Trump.

Alternativa correta: C - "there would be a legal injunction."

Vamos entender o tema da questão e as razões para a escolha da alternativa correta.

O texto compara duas figuras políticas muito diferentes: Sadiq Khan, o prefeito de Londres, e Donald Trump, então candidato presidencial dos EUA. Enquanto Khan é apresentado como um símbolo de diversidade e integração, Trump é descrito de maneira negativa, associando-o a ideias de isolamento e discriminação.

Para resolver essa questão, é essencial compreender o contexto sobre a proposta de Trump de banir a entrada de muçulmanos, mencionada no texto. Diz-se que, se essa proposta fosse implementada, Khan, sendo muçulmano, não poderia visitar os EUA. Essa informação é crucial para responder à pergunta sobre por que Khan não seria permitido entrar nos EUA.

Justificando a alternativa correta

A alternativa C é a correta porque menciona "there would be a legal injunction", ou seja, haveria uma injunção legal que proibiria a entrada de muçulmanos nos EUA, conforme a proposta de Trump mencionada no texto. Isso está alinhado com a explicação dada no texto, que destaca a proibição específica aos muçulmanos não-cidadãos.

Análise das alternativas incorretas

A - "he defends a specific political ban": Essa alternativa está incorreta porque sugere que Khan defende uma proibição política específica, o que não é verdade segundo o texto. O texto fala sobre uma proibição proposta por Trump, não por Khan.

B - "as a Muslim he pulls guilt together": Essa opção é incorreta e confusa. A frase não faz sentido no contexto do texto e não reflete a razão pela qual Khan seria proibido de entrar nos EUA.

D - "of genre hatred support measures": Esta alternativa está errada e mal formulada. "Genre hatred" não é uma expressão correta no contexto do texto, e não há menção a medidas de ódio de gênero relacionadas a Khan.
