British MP urges Arabs to rise up against West
The Daily Star ^ | October 12 2002 | Hala Kilani

Posted on 10/12/2002 4:52:52 PM PDT by knighthawk

British MP George Galloway called on Arabs to wake up to a Western plan aimed at carving the Arab world into smaller and even weaker states and to take to the streets in massive demonstrations in an attempt to counter such a scheme.

Galloway spoke Friday at Issam Fares Hall at the American University of Beirut, urging students to take action if they wanted to avoid a century in which they will see their resources stolen and continued Israeli domination in the region.

“Are you prepared to let foreigners decide which country will be governed by which ruler or not?” he asked. “Because if your answer is yes, you will face a 21st century exactly like the 20th century … your wealth will be taken away and Israel will be the superpower of the region and you will accept that Palestinians will never have justice.”

Galloway told the audience that people in Britain have done their bit by organizing protests against a war on Iraq. But he said it is time for Arabs to demonstrate that they can threaten interests of the West in the region.

“I led the biggest demonstration in the history of Britain two weeks ago, half a million people marched through the streets of London under the slogan ‘Justice for Palestine and no war in Iraq,’” the MP said.

“So where are the demonstrations in the Arab world? What’s wrong with you people? How can you sit and watch this happen? How long are you willing to wait? The stakes are high and the time is short,” Galloway warned. Galloway said that he regularly passes two rooms in the British Parliament where the 1917 Balfour declaration, promising the Jews Palestine, was written and where the Sykes-Picot plan to carve up the Middle East was devised. Since Sept. 11, he said, a third room had opened where new maps for the region are being drawn up.

“People who have never visited this region before, who don’t speak a word of your language, who don’t give a damn about your interests are working on creating a new map for the Arab world.”

He said that British officials are deciding whether Saudi Arabia will be two or three countries and if Sudan will be two states or not. Their intention, according to Galloway, is to create a holy Saudi Arabia for the Muslims and keep the other Saudi Arabia that has oil fields for themselves.

“They are discussing who will rule which country in the Arab world and they won’t dream of asking your permission or your advice,” he said.

Galloway told the audience that the rulers of the Arab countries, installed by Britain and France over 80 years ago, remain the same today.

“These puppets and corrupt kings, they have governed not in the interest of their own people, but in the interest of the West. They stole wealth God has given the Arab world and spent it not on the development of their own countries, but in the bordellos, casinos and stock exchange markets of Paris, London and New York,” he said.

Interesting is that he speaks about "Are you prepared to let foreigners decide which country will be governed by which ruler or not?” in Lebanon, which is a puppet-state of Syria.

And I think he needs to a check on that "I led the biggest demonstration in the history of Britain two weeks ago, half a million people marched through the streets of London" part.

There's no possible way this clown could somehow be related to "Jihad Jim" McDermott...is there?!?

He'd make a great rat in the House Democratic Caucus,
right there next to Boner, and the quack from Seattle.

Ah, Georgie Galloway, limosine communist who openly mourns the fall of the evil empire and idolizes Saddam Hussein.

"...half a million people..."

The London police say there were only 150,000, but what do they know compared to all the marxist and socialist websites claiming 400,000 to 500,000?

Islam Online too.

Maybe they are confusing it with the demonstration before, against fox-hunting and so on.

Great find (in the Guardian, of all places).

Everyone, have a look at this article on "Gorgeous George" Galloway.

Yes.

Absolutely no need to thank me, because your link (which I copied in #10) was my first look at that article. Thank YOU.

"...the demonstration before, against fox-hunting..."

LOL! Can't they see that the easiest way to get rid of fox hunting is to get rid of foxes? Therefore, Parliament should pass a measure requiring the hunting of foxes and offering premium bounty for every pelt brought in. Within 3 years at most, there will be no more fox hunting in England. Simple.

Of course, they will have to trust the people to be armed again. Whoops, I forgot. Never mind.

This is a thumbnail of an actual map that was posted on the World Islamic Mission website BEFORE 911. I snatched a copy before they removed it. This is untouched, just as it sat on the site.
