UK Parliamentarian attacked

He should be prosecuted for hate speech. Israel free zone? What did he expect the ****ing idiot he would have got the same thing had he said it were a Christian or Muslim free zone.

Last I heard Israel was a country not a religion.

Do you know anything about the connection between Muslims and anti-Semitism?

I don't condone the attack, but I have zero sympathy. George Galloway is a hypocrite, a coward, a loudmouth, a (borderline) anti-Semite, a man who shakes the hands of murderous dictators, and who retweets a tribute to Che Guevara who was a mas murdering piece of crap. The guy is a massive cock.

On another note OP, it's astonishing to note how the British government allows its citizens to go and join the Israeli army (srsly look it up- they have a foreign fighters division) when this is quite clearly illegal under British law.

I think it would have been more than a punch if he said "Muslim free zone". The riots would still be going on now

Whilst it is astonishing it is not, in fact, illegal.

Remind me the last time Muslims rioted in the UK? Also, a closer equivalent would be calling for a boycott of a country run by fundamentalist Muslims intent on imperialism and violence like, say, Iraq or Syria under ISIS.

Lol we can't even convict people for going to Syria and this guy thinks joining the Israeli army is illegal.




Almost rioted when someone drew a cartoon.

Any evidence to back that up? They were understandably upset considering it was a deliberate and pointless attempt to cause trouble but nothing I saw even approached rioting.

It's just a flipping of the coin from Galloway's supposedly "anti-Semitic" remarks, which the media reported, to this "religiously aggravated offence" which one supposes was in response to those remarks.

I don't know why you are querying the terms that I have used...

"Muslim groups in Denmark complained, and the issue eventually led to protests around the world, including violent demonstrations and riots in some Muslim countries."

Not in the UK but point still stands, similar incidents have happened in the UK over cartoons.

No, the rioting according to that was in Benghazi which is rather different. There are no examples of western Muslisms rioting in response to Islamaphobia. So to suggest they would do so in the event of an MP calling for a fundamentalist Islamic State to be boycotted is completely disingenuous and in my opinion pretty offensive when they have proven to be non-violent regardless of provocation.

Galloway is openly against the state of Israel. That's a perfectly legitimate stance to have. I don't see what problem the people who are marking Galloway as "racist" have?

I don't agree. I'd have happily beat the living daylights out of Adolf.

I don't understand why this is being investigated as a "religiously aggravated offence", but then I am not privy to the motivations of the police.

Again, would you find it acceptable if a hypothetical UKIP MP declared a town in the Home Counties a "Pakistan-free zone"? There would be absolute uproar, and would lead to the British-Pakistani community to feel marginalised.

You are conflating ethnicity with nationality.
