what's the truth then?

[kaosmark2]

Not what was spouted here.

People don't seem to think you can be favoured by muslim people and be for equal rights. I think that's all of your problems and not Mr Galloways.

You guys are all older? Might be an age thing.

Oh do feck off.

Much of what's been said here is without any doubt true.

None of what anyone here has condemned him for touched on the subject of muslims or equal rights. If any of us had any problems with that we'd no doubt have said.

So the problem is all yours.

Must be a youth thing.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

Um, so there's no evidence about none of the things used against him?

And where has anyone in this thread suggested that having an Islamic support base contradicts equal rights?

And I'm not old. I may have grey hair but I'm not old.

The anti-abortion myth was created by the right as Mr Galloway has a large Islamic support, and they don't seem to think you can be active in Islam but still support human rights.

People on this board seem to now think that to be true, which is quite depressing.

Galloway is anti-abortion. You can read it in his own words here, in that right-wing mag The Guardian....

In the past he's expressed his views about abortion in an abhorent manner.

He's pro choice and that's all that matters realy. He doesn't let his personal opinion over-ride the right thing for the people. Thats a good thing. Stop being so silly.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

Um...

"'I have religious beliefs and try to live by them,' Galloway tells me. 'I have all my life been against abortion"

[abdoujaparov]

Why can't he be considered a serious politician? You need guys like him.

Sorry, but can't let a George Galloway thread go by without this

[Pogues Mcgogues]

it was a task

[Pogues Mcgogues]

so he's a hypocrite...?

[windy_miller]

I just find the man very confusing. On one hand I quite like him, and the way he stands up to some of the twats in politics. On the other hand he is an egotistical c**t.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

he is against abortion...

that could be interpreted in a few ways. Not sure how pro-choice is one of them

what's he saying... "you should have the choice but I'm against it..?"

[Kyelo]

Essentially he is a liberal pro lifer then?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

ice-cream... abortion... you sure?

[Ed209]

Stop trolling.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

What was trolling about that? I'm starting to think that's your standard response to avoid debate? You seem to struggle with the fact that not everyone, even those on the left, think Galloway is quite the messiah you think he is. You then have the audacity to accuse them of being ignorant towards Islam. You're starting to sound just like the c*nt himself.

Tony has a valid point, Ice Cream and Abortion are not in the same ball park. One is a cold desert mostly enjoyed on a warm summers day, the other is the termination of a pregnancy ... I usually wouldn't have to spell this out to people, but in your case I think this needs pointing out. You're argument is the kind I'd expect from a 7 years old.

I'd like to see Galloway joined by Ken Livingston and Tommy Sheridan in Respect.

[Ed209]

Not realy. I explained why you can perhaps be personally against abortion but still happy for people to have the choice if they want to have it or not. Tony couldn't understand that so I simplified it by using an example of something else. Tony then questioned that than the actual topic which made me suspicious he was looking for an internet argument which I can't realy be arsed with. Apologise to him if that is not the case.

I didn't set up a thread for debate either, so if I chose to not take anything too seriously well, that's my choice. Sorry if my actions do not fit your internet rule book.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

He's on Question Time tonight by the way. I used to be a devoted viewer (yes, I know how sad that sounds), but if you look at who they've got on tonight (Warsi, Lib Dem President etc.) and the fact they've done it in Leeds, even Katie Price could write the script for it.
