Video: George Galloway on Iranian TV

Video | Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 11:48:34 am PDT

Here’s George Galloway, creepier than ever, arguing with David Henshaw, producer of Channel 4’s Undercover Mosque, on Iran’s English-language propaganda channel Press TV. Galloway ends up calling Henshaw a “hooligan.”

my father a deceased WW2 vet (RIP) had a term he used sometimes in refering to certain types of individuals.. he'd say.. "this guy talks like a man with a paper asshole"...I never quite understood what that meant, but after listening to galloway, I think I now know the type of person he meant. i think obama might be covered in my fathers term also, but for different reasons..lol

GG had the nerve to say the hidden camera added a sinister edge to the debate! By that logic, any hidden camera on any expose is adding a "sinister edge".

No, George. What adds a sinister edge to the debate is taqiyya. That radical islamists say one thing to infidels and another to muslims. A hidden camera trying to discern the truth is only sinister to those who stand to lose from the truth being revealed.

George Galloway's Hatred of Christian's comes through loud and clear. Is that an Irish accent?

29 ethanxxx  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 12:00:39pm

I made it to about 1:47... what a prick. Just spin some toilet paper around his head and send him Gitmo. The "cancelled camera" puts a "Sinister Edge" on the debate? The fact it was shot in a mosque is sinister enough for anyone paying attention to this evil cult of murdering self righteous carpet chewing animals.

30 MrSilverDragon  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 12:01:17pm

Hrmm... apparently, according to George, Jerry Falwell is running the Republican Party... amazing that Jerry can do this in his current condition...

31 reine.de.tout  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 12:06:39pm

At one point, Galloway tells the other guy: "I'm asking the questions here, you are the interviewee and you have to answer my questions."

Then Galloway goes on to make statement after statement after statement, doggone if I was able to hear a "question" in there.

32 ironbill  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 12:06:45pm

It seems that George has decided that he will be eaten the crocodile last.

A clip almost 11 minutes long, and maybe, just maybe, 60 seconds of it was the "interviewee" speaking, the rest was Galloway.

61 StirUpTheBlog  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 1:04:16pm

Talk about stepping in your own bear trap!

David eventually got George to reveal his vitriolic viewpoint toward conservative American Christians, misguided as it is. This was less of an interview and more of an interrogation.

I wonder if they went out for drinks after?

This was broadcast on an Iranian channel?
And the show has the gall to call itself "The Real Deal"?
I'm glad Galloway is no longer in office, but isn't there an "aiding and abetting" or "fraternizing with the enemy" treason law in the UK?

UK: Sharia law superceding British law

Sharia courts are now operating in Britain, and what's the big deal? They're just private, voluntary arbitration tribunals, like similar arbitration panels for Jews and Catholics.

In "Britain Adopts Sharia" in Chronicles, September 16, Serge Trifkovic explains what's wrong with that analogy:

Muslim activists point out that allegedly simiral Jewish family courts (Bet Din) and Catholic marriage tribunals have existed in Britain for many years, but there is a major difference: such courts explicitly claim jurisdiction only over their believers, whereas according to orthodox Islamic teaching shari’a is the only legitimate law in the world, with universal jurisdiction over Muslims and non-Muslims alike. To a devout Muslim the incorporation of shari’a into British law is by no means the end of the affair. It is merely a major milestone on the road that cannot stop short of subjecting all Britons, regardless of faith, to the strictures of Allah’s commandment and Muhammad’s example.

And he also reports that Islamic law is already taking precedence over British law:

...Shari’a courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with the network’s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, with two more courts planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh. A visibly pleased Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, whose Muslim Arbitration Tribunal runs the courts, explains that he had taken advantage of a clause in the British Arbitration Act of 1996, which classifies sharia courts as “arbitration tribunals” whose rulings are binding in law once both parties in a dispute agree to accept its authority. It goes without saying that battered Muslim wives and disinherited Muslim daughters will “freely choose” the authority of shari’a courts rather than face various unpleasant and potentially fatal consequences of not conforming to the “community’s” rules and preferences.

What this means in practice was evident from a recent inheritance dispute in the Midlands, when the Nuneaton shari’a court divided the estate of a Muslim father between three daughters and two sons. The “judges” gave the sons twice as much as the daughters—perfectly in accordance with sharia, of course, but contrary to any regular British court, which would have given the daughters equal shares. In six cases of domestic violence quoted by Siddiqi, the “judges” ordered the husbands to take “anger management” classes and “mentoring from community elders” (such as imams and shari’a judges). In each case, the battered women subsequently withdrew the complaints and the police stopped their investigations. It should be noted that under normal British law those six cases could have been prosecuted as criminal, rather than “family” cases....

UK: Muslim MP calls for "religious equality" law that would give Muslims privileged status

Sharia, apparently, isn't enough. Once the government starts working to stamp out "Islamophobia," as it would be obliged to do under this law, any attempt to resist jihad violence and Islamic supremacism would be illegal -- because Muslim groups routinely characterize all such resistance as "Islamophobia."

"Muslim MP calls for religious equality law," by Andrew Grice in the Independent, September 16 (thanks to Peter):

A minister has called for the Government to introduce a new religious discrimination law which would require public bodies to have a legal duty to promote equality between faiths, to reassure Britain's Muslims that they are not second-class citizens.

Sadiq Khan, a government whip, wants a forthcoming Single Equality Bill aimed at stamping out discrimination on grounds of sex, race, gender and disability to include religion. He also calls for "Islamophobia in the workplace" to be tackled.

Under his proposal, public bodies would have to be proactive in tackling religious discrimination. The Equality and Human Rights Commission, chaired by Trevor Phillips, would issue guidance and codes of practice. "This would not apply exclusively to British Muslims, but it would make a significant difference to the experience of members of this community who, because of socio-economic status, are particularly reliant on public services," Mr Khan says.

The Tooting MP, one of four Muslim Labour MPs, makes his controversial call in a Fabian Society pamphlet, Fairness not Favours, published today. He says a proactive approach to prevent religious discrimination would balance "harder edged" measures such as "clampdowns" on immigration and security and undercut attempts by Muslim extremists to exploit social disadvantage.

Mr Khan wants to break down religious barriers and argues strongly that Britain's Muslims must change, too. He urges them to forget about the Iraq war; give their women more freedom and use their charities to help white poor people. He also calls for imams to stress the importance of parental participation in schools and says everyone should learn English....

Good luck with that.

Too bad that repulsive quisling, george galloway, was not in the tunnel when his Islamist buddies blew it up.

At least our sworn enemies are honest about it. galloway is a treacherous termite knawing away at the foundations of Western civilization even while he is part of it.

There is not a person on the planet whom I despise more than galloway. *spit*

69 Joshua Godinez  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 3:33:52pm

Wow. That guy destroyed George. Galloway had to strain to get his pre-planned attack piece out and it was so clear that this was what he was planning. And pointing to America as a place where a BBC reporter should do investigative journalism? The ending was priceless.

70 Jaydee  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 5:15:21pm

Quite honestly, I despise this treacherous man.
Even his voice is unbearable.
I just wish the earth would open up and swallow him, forever.
Will force myself to listen to him.....if I must (lol).

71 Jaydee  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 5:33:32pm

That wasn't an interview, it was more like a platform for George to once again, spew his evilness froth at another and incite others to hate and do what they do best, at the interviewee.

What an evil slanderous critter....*spits*

Do us all a favour.....pop your clogs soon, pls.

74 Richard Romano  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 8:21:51pm

75 akforty777  Wed, Sep 17, 2008 10:03:57pm

Ha ha Galloway got his lunch packed and Henshaw sent him to school jeez...why in the world would Galloway allow that to be aired. What a fool. I cant believe he answers the question about homosexuality, apostates, and death sentences with the Republican Party what a joke.

76 DrCruel  Thu, Sep 18, 2008 12:06:24am

Odd choice of friends these days. Once upon a time, Galloway was solidly in the camp of Saddam Hussein - now he's stumping for the Iranians, something that his old Ba'athist friend would have had him nastily executed for.

It's amazing how low Marxist hypocrites will go to make a dishonest buck.

I saw a picture of George Galloway in a dictionary, next to the definition of the word DHIMMI.

80 Boston Patriot  Thu, Sep 18, 2008 10:07:52am

Yes, George is an anti-Western idiot, but David misses the point.

The point is that Western religions, as opposed to Islam, were diluted by the Renaissance and Enlightenment.

Western religion was as explicitly barbaric as Islam during the Dark Ages and prior. The evidence abounds.

The answer is to reject all irrationality- all faith- all mysticism- all belief which is not founded upon reason.

The universe isn't haunted. Any belief that it is, is destructive to the extent which it is accepted. Islam just hasn't gone through the rational filtering that Western religion has - tossing it to the back burner (an, hopefuilly, one day, fully into the dust bin of history along with Marxist socalism)

Charles,

I am currently reading the autobiography of John Adams by David McCullough. On page 86 of the paperback version, John Adams is quoted on his descriptions of the First Continental Congress members. There is a mention of a Joseph Galloway that made me wonder if this is the descendent of our friend George Galloway.

"Joseph Galloway, a leading Philadelphia attorney and speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly who would later resign from Congress and ultimately seek refuge with the British army, struck Adams at first meeting as having an air of "design and cunning.""

Any genealogy folks on LGF that might be able to find out if they are related?

82 AlanUK  Thu, Sep 18, 2008 2:19:07pm

George Galloway is the Respect Party Member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow in London. He is the only MP that Respect has.

He is left wing of the Labour Party which he left some while ago. He believes Hizbullah is NOT a terrorist organisation and its leader is the real leader of the Arab People. He claims NOT to be antsemitic but Israel, however, is a racist state.

He is best known in the UK for his appearance in Celebrity Big Brother when he acted as a cat that wouldn't eat its food with actress Rula Lenska:

He also appeared in the show (with others) in bright red tights which he continued to wear IIRC after the dance sequence was over:

Except among his own, he is not held in the highest esteem in the UK

/English understatement
