British MP George Galloway, has made a surprising admission recently. This Galloway was kicked out of the Labour party for calling for jihad against British soldiers in Iraq. So he got re-elected as a 3rd party candidate in a district dominated by leftists and radical Islamists. He is apparently married to a niece of Yasser Arafat, which implies he likely has secretly converted to Islam. And his name keeps inexplicably popping up on payoff documents being found in Iraq concerning Hussein's Oil-for-Fraud program with the UN.
He has now declared,
Mohammad Basirul Haq Sinha: “You often call for uniting Muslim and progressive forces globally. How far is it possible under current situation?”Oh, the horror; we're forcing food on these people! Anyway, it speaks for itself, the mindset of these vicious left-wing Stalinists who just won't die. Can we agree finally that these kinds of "progressives" can have their loyalty questioned?
Galloway: “Not only do I think it’s possible but I think it is vitally necessary and I think it is happening already. It is possible because the progressive movement around the world and the Muslims have the same enemies. Their enemies are the Zionist occupation, American occupation, British occupation of poor countries mainly Muslim countries. They have the same interest in opposing savage capitalist globalization which is intent upon homogenizing the entire world turning us basically into factory chickens which can be forced fed the American diet of everything from food to Coca-Cola to movies and TV culture. And whose only role in life is to consume the things produced endlessly by the multinational corporations. And the progressive organizations & movements agree on that with the Muslims.
“Otherwise we believe that we should all have to speak as Texan and eat McDonalds and be ruled by Bush and Blair. So on the very grave big issues of the day-issues of war, occupation, justice, opposition to globalization-the Muslims and the progressives are on the same side.”
In a way, it makes perfect sense: both these forces are left-wing power-mad totalitarian utopians. One is just socially more traditional than the other. Politics wins over that difference.
He speaks of "savage capitalism." What an evil tool. How about the savagery of stoning a woman to death, buried in a hole up to her waist? Happens every day in the savage, primitive Islamic world.
A highly disturbing video of such a stoning is here, at Apostates of Islam, where some people are finally waking up. They state:
Are people in this video extremists? No, they are true Muslims, following the exact orders of their leader Mohammed. This is real Islam in practice. If you are a Muslim and believe stoning is not a part of Islam: Congratulations! You have already partially apostated from Islam. Now you just need to complete your apostasy like we did, and stop believing that Mohammed was a prophet of God. Join our discussion forum to ask for help on how you can leave Islam. Being a humanist is a great alternative to being a MuslimKicking a koran, however, is just so much more newsworthy.
At LGF, there were some good comments about this. Renna for example says:
Remember everyone, when they sneer at captialism what they really despise.westoner points out a good contradiction in anti-war arguments, that the secular (but Arab and muslim) Hussein couldn't possibly find a reason to ally with Islamists, yet here we have secular leftists finding it easy to make that alliance themselves:
Capitalism is nothing more, nothing less than the free exchange between two parties without coercion.
They despise that freedom.
They hate that the little people have the freedom to choose what, when, and if to buy or sell. They want to make those decisions for us. They cover it up in good intentions. So well they convince themselves. They "only" want to force us to buy cars with better gas mileage, from companies with better promoting practices, clothes that don't hurt fuzzy bunnies, and is that so wrong?
Captialism was named by its enemies. It is not an "ism" and certainly not one built around the worship of capital, or stuff. In other words, it is NOT synonymous with greed.
It merely recoginizes that greed exists and makes the best of it. Likewise other human flaws like sloth.
Unlike communism where one must have perfect people to ever really work.
Galloway has only stated the truth.tankdemon observes that:
Progressive ideology in the west was always about despising yourself, your fellow citizens, your nation, your culture and your civilisation.
So let’s get this straight. A Marxist, adulterer Scott can find common cause with the Islamics, but apparently an Arab, Muslim dictator like Saddam couldn’t.
The stupidity of the left's arguments are once again betrayed by the equal stupidity of their behaviour.
Progressives- Want to keep any mention of religion out of the public sphere.Poiters-Lepanto grim notes that:
Islam- Wants to make all aspects of the public sphere subjugated by religion.
Progressives- Want to be able to speak/write/draw/sculpt anything their heart desires, regardless of how offensive, and we should all have to pay for it.
Islam- Burn everything that isn't the Koran. And burn the copies of the Koran that are not officially sanctioned.
Progressives- Want you to stop polluting the planet with all your fossil fuels.
Islam- Want to get rich by selling you fossil fuels.
Progressives- Hate America
Islam- Hates America.
Yep, they just have so much in common.
Until now the left had carefully masked itself as the "TRUE" West (true democracy, true civil rights, true whatever) as opposed to the DANGEROUS right.wiseoldfool muses
And until now I knew only one monster who dared to declare openly what galloway says here: and you know who this monster is ?
Carlos, "the jackal" (Vladimir Ilich Sanchez).
Now the left moves itself on the same position of Carlos the jackal.
IT IS A CHANGE.
And it does not matter that galloway is one and alone.
The change is strategic, we are seeing only galloway but he acts as a signal.
Which signal ?
In everyday's language the words of galloway are a DECLARATION OF WAR.
I am inclined to think that this move tells us that the future troubles are running towards us at double the speed we thought.
I'm afraid that many lefties think this business about siding with the Islamic fascists against the United States is a big game that gives the Woodstock Generation another chance to relive their past glories one last time and their bored offspring the opportunity to share in the retro experience.Fatal has a good idea:
The only problem is that the war against global islamic fascism IS NOT Vietnam and the jihadists are not the Viet Kong. This struggle is DEADLY SERIOUS that is a direct threat to our way of life. It is much more akin to World War II, where it is an all or nothing proposition. One side will have to be totally defeated and lose everything before it ends.
The most disconcerting thing in all of this is not that we are fighting a global war against fascism, that it may be a fight to the death or even that there are a significant number of Americans in leadership positions in the government, media, academia, entertainment and business that are actively and openly supporting an enemy out to destroy our country. Its the fact that these traitors REALLY BELIEVE that there will be no negative consequences for doing so.
Unlike Vietnam, anti-American sedition and treason will not go unpunished this time around. If terrorist violence starts to hit home and people start dying in large numbers there will be an ugly backlash against those that sided with the enemy, regardless of the reasons.
I think its time to stop playing nice with the American public. I watched one, just one, of the beheadng videos and was literally sick. If pictures of little girls burned with Napalm helped bring down America during Viet Nam, then its about damned time we put stuff like this right in front of the smug little dinner-time "family" T.V. time.Works for me.
If its going to take an in-your-face strategy to wake America up, then we are far past time for doing it.
I want the 9/11 video played, followed by the middle-east celebrations. Then pictures of the dead and wounded from 9/11.
Then I want the Abu Ghraib and Gitmo accusations played, followed immediatetly by the "Sawing off the head" videos.
Then I want the Jane Fonda's and Glorie Steinman's "Hands off my Vagina" speeches played, immediately followed by the stoning videos.
If there was any way for me to get my hands on a major media outlet, this kind of thing would be shoved straght down the throat of every idiot "progressive" in this country.
