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.

A alternativa correta é a A - Muslins would handle the terrorism issues handily.

Tema da questão: Esta questão foca na interpretação do texto, especificamente na comparação entre as figuras políticas de Sadiq Khan e Donald Trump, e como cada um deles lida com questões como terrorismo, racismo e integração.

Justificativa da alternativa correta:

No texto, se destaca a importância da eleição de Sadiq Khan em diversos aspectos. Um ponto fundamental é que Khan afirmou que os muçulmanos têm um papel importante no combate ao terrorismo. Ele mencionou que, após os ataques de Paris, os muçulmanos tinham um "papel especial" em combater o terrorismo, não porque são mais responsáveis, mas porque podem ser mais eficazes. Isso justifica a alternativa A, pois sublinha como os muçulmanos podem lidar com questões de terrorismo de maneira eficaz.

Análise das alternativas incorretas:

B - Trump’d play special role in putting terrorism away: Esta alternativa está incorreta porque o texto não sugere que Trump teria um papel especial em combater o terrorismo. Pelo contrário, o texto critica a abordagem de Trump, que é vista como baseada no medo e na segregação, em vez de uma ação eficaz contra o terrorismo.

C - Khan’s election has triumphed over racial meldings: Esta alternativa também está incorreta, pois o texto não menciona que a eleição de Khan superou as fusões raciais, mas sim destaca que sua vitória foi um triunfo contra o isolamento, o racismo e a misoginia, além de promover a integração e a diversidade.

D - Muslins shouldn’t be bullied into accepting dialogue: Essa alternativa está incorreta porque o texto não discute os muçulmanos sendo forçados a aceitar o diálogo. Em vez disso, enfatiza que os muçulmanos podem desempenhar um papel ativo e voluntário no combate ao terrorismo e na promoção da integração.
