Does anyone else feel he's a bit of a phoney and is just trying to appeal to muslims for votes?

Sometimes I think hes just after votes, and other times i think hes a nice guy.

Maybe I'm wrong though and he genuinely feels more supportive of the muslim point of view. Just I don't trust politcians, politics breed hyprocrites. (Not that I'm saying G. Galloway is a hyprocrite - allahu alim).

I don't think he'd be stupid enough to use those words if he didn't know what they meant. Although, it'd be funny to see him misuse it one day.

I was also wondering whether George Galloway is now muslim or whether he is as many organisations put it 'a friend of the muslims'!! In the excel speech i clearly remember him saying 'us muslims'..Maybe i remember wrong, but i do clearly remember thinking at the time..is he muslim? Maybe i should re-listen to the speech!
Nevertheless, I did think he was quite cool at the US senate-thing and he does genuinely seem to support the Palestinian cause with dedication and commitment. He is an enigmatic speaker and seemed nice when I met him at a political debate.. His personal life does seem a bit shady but then Allah SWT knows best.
Anyway if anyone knows if he is in fact muslim and how do you feel about people (in general not just George Galloway) using Insha'Allah, Alhamdulillah etc when they do not believe in Allah? Just curious!..

masha'allah they're praising Allah. Whether they believe in him or not, they're praising them with their tongue. It's a start.

I was married to a non-muslim and left him after returning to Islam. I don't understand how it can work with a muslim woman and a non-muslim man.

A truly pro-american/pro-israel biased site. (though i belive he is getting divorced)

Listening to the speech it sounds like Galloway is a muslim, ".. after ramadhan, during the eid when we were feasting ..", "... with the non muslims who feel the same way as we do about Iraq..." and other such statements.

On the other hand he is a politician.

Allah Alim whats really in his heart.

I saw something on TV the other day with director of Star Wars, George Lucas, and he was saying about this. He was saying that 'may the force be with you' is like 'may God be with you' but without referring to any specific religion...interesting.

Huh?Just read in the paper that Geroge Galloway is in Celebrity Big Brother this year! For those of you who have mangaged to escape this stupid phenomenan (MashaAllah luck you!), it's basically a tacky reality tv programme which revolves around the daily lives of usually a bunch of freaks locked in a house without any contact from the real world..He may be a great public speaker, an interesting public figure and politician but this really does make me lose some (well alot) of the respect i held for the guy..Whyyyyy would he do this? Actually thinking about it he may have felt that all the recent publicity of his support for muslims is alienanting him from the non-muslim voters and this may be an attempt to win them over (just my opinion..before someone posts something bout 'judging etc':okay: )..Politicians huh?! :sister:

Well, that depends which newspapers one reads. You won't see the Telegraph with the frontpage headline: 'SHOCKER! Jade Goody is fat!' :p

was just browsing through and found this thread. i dont think galloway is being false, i think he is very genuine. it wouldnt make sense to perform an act and say he loves muslims. why would he want to do that? I mean its such a small population in the country it aint going to get him very popular generally. i think he genuinely believes muslims are being wronged accross the world.

not sure about whether he muslim or not?

George Galloway calls himself a socialist, but seems only to focus on the needs of the Islamic community in Britain. That is not socialist.

But he should care about other things, as well as Palestine and Iraq. No proper politician should focus on one or two issues. It's a disservice to the communities they represent. Life is complex, and politics has to be as well.

I dont know, maybe he does, I mean, I only would presume that such topics are in the media because of the contraversy that they bring.
