He will be the first Muslim to lead Britain’s capital.London is hardly representative of Britain: About a quarter of its residents are foreign-born, and one-eighth are Muslim. And Mr. Khan is not the first Muslim to hold prominent office in Europe: Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, has had a Muslim mayor since 2009, and Sajid Javid is the British secretary of state for business.<img src="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2016/05/07/world/SUB-JP-BRITAIN/SUB-JP-BRITAIN-master768.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
