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).

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

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.
