Somehow I had missed the news that George Galloway had visited Canada earlier this week. It was not lost on Terry Glavin who wrote a must-read piece for The Tyee about how the anti-war left has become a convenient partner for radical Islamists:
But if you regard the United States as a greater enemy of the left than even Islamism, "what you end up with," says Hashmi, "is 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'" And that brings us back to the degeneracy of the "anti-war" activism represented by Galloway and his followers in Britain and in Canada, in their alliance with Islamists.
I would be remiss in not offering you one of Galloway's pearls of wisdom during his tour of the north:
Galloway also weighed in on Canada's Liberal leadership contest, saying that "Anyone but Ignatieff" is a common slogan in British politics.
