George
Galloway’s victory in the Bradford by-election is a wake-up call for both
political parties and the people of Britain.
There has
been an instant backlash from patriotic Britons, who believe Gallous George to
be a traitor to the nation.
However,
while Mr Galloway can be a very irritating person and also one prone to
spectacular errors in judgment, he also has an annoying habit of being right.
His
opposition to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, coupled with his stinging blasts
against innocent lives being lost in pursuance of these wars, makes
uncomfortable hearing. But he is not wrong.
The fact is,
our government is engaging in military campaigns in these areas that are not
defensible from any standpoint. British lives are being lost as well as the
ever-mounting toll of innocents who live in these war-ravaged lands.
That is not
to even mention the atrocities carried out by both British and American
military over the last decade in these campaigns.
Many patriots
are actually calling for the same thing as George Galloway, which is to end
these pointless wars and get our troops home. His exuberance in using things
which many find to be unpalatable ought not deflect from the fact he is right
to castigate our political leaders for sending our servicemen and women there
in the first place.
People are
also making a big deal of Mr Galloway’s backing from the Asian community. Are
they suggesting that this community should not have an opinion or the right to
voice it in the “mother of democracies”? Those who know me know I am not making
a case for democracy. It’s just a curious observation of mine that those who do
champion democracy are often happy to deny its vaunted freedoms and privileges
to those they disagree with.
Those who are
happy to Muslim-bash should remind themselves that they most likely voted for a
party which flooded our borders with these people in the first place. The
Muslim in our midst is a self-created problem. If it is one.
At the risk
of offending some, I will state again my position. The Muslim is not our enemy.
He is our ally against our true enemy.
A far more
potent enemy to Britain’s interests is not the devout faith of the Islamist, it
is the infidelity of so-called Christians. You cannot claim the land to be
Christian if you, yourself, are not.
Because then,
in a Christian nation, you would be the alien.
George
Galloway knows this, as do Muslims. What they despise and rail against – and rightly so - is the
hypocrisy of those who profess a faith they do not practise. Sadly, the Muslims in our midst have a higher standard of Christianity than we have.
On that
matter, they agree with the Lord of hosts.
