GEORGE MONOWAY
Comment from Georges Galloway and Monbiot on the London terrorist attacks. They’re just like they’ve always been, except worse.
Give Galloway enough rope….like our own Greens who criticise the invasion of Iraq describing it as a failure of intelligence then argue to restrict ASIO powers.
quite a curtailment of some fairly basic human rights, including the right to free assembly and the right to free expression and, of course, there has been a great deal of very intrusive surveillance and policing of the Muslim community and indeed parts of the non-white community in general in the U.S.
I love how people who don’t live in the U.S. talk about things like this. I wish Monbiot had been here over the Fourth of July. He would have seen a whole lot of free assembly and free [removed]in the form of shooting off fireworks in private back yards while the local cops look the other way, for one). And I’m sure my black neighbor down the street would be very surprised at all the FBI SUVs parked in the driveway watching him.

Galloway and the rest of the useful idiots will not see that they have it in reverse.
One has only to pause for a moment and think about what would make Islamist murderers ‘happy’ to realise how impossible it is to consider jihadism an ‘-ism,’ so deeply is it in love with death as a means and end in itself.
That young, well-educated men and women treasure such ambition is obscene. More than ever - for our sake and theirs - we must address ourselves to the sources of this poison.
To deny that what these people are doing has any connection to Islam is ridiculous. Islamicist extremism was nurtured in the bosom of the great centres of Islam and is a despairing expression of a faith struggling to cope with modernity.
Putting jihadists on top of political hobby horses, such as Galloway’s clapped out Marxism and the trendier version of it currently fashionable in the academies and among the left ‘intelligensia’ is misguided and dangerous.
Look under your arse, Gorgeous George, that’s a tiger you’re riding, not a hobby horse.
Paco — In a nobler age, people would be lining up outside Galloway’s house to show him how a smallsword worked…

In the Sun a Muslim woman expressed her out-rage at not only what he said but when he said it. His performance on Newsnight was bad enough to warrant changing channel lest we break the TV.

Tex the Pontificator has a fine observation on Galloway, I think.
