George Galloway on Arab Television:
...It's not the Muslims who are the terrorists. The biggest terrorists are Bush, and Blair, and Berlusconi, and Aznar, but it is definitely not a clash of civilizations. George Bush doesn't have any civilization, he doesn't represent any civilization. We believe in the Prophets, peace be upon them. He believes in the profits, and how to get a piece of them. That's his god. That's his god. George Bush worships money. That's his god - Mammon.
This is astoundingly overt incitement to violence. Who needs Madrassas when we have Respect? The degree to which we in the West tolerate what ought to be considered treason is either a reflection of our greatness or sheer suicide. I cannot imagine what I would be thinking had I lost a loved-one anywhere in the War on Terror (loosely defined).

I often wonder how much Galloway gets for his fiery speeches. I'm sure he's not doing what he's doing for free.
By the way, Solomon, your trackback system seems to be out of order. I cited you in my blog. Hope you don't mind.
Mind? No, not at all!
Thanks for the feedback on the trackback. It's either something with an anti-spam plug-in, or something that Hosting Matters (my ISP) is doing on their end to prevent spam as well (it's been a bit annoying, actually, but I'll blame the spammers, not the ISP). If you can tell me the error you got it might help.
