“Young muslms in Britain are feeling besieged, feeling unfairly put upon and they don’t need a radical cleric to make them feel that way. This idea that there are idealogues out there, that are responsible for the radicalisation of muslim youth is fundamentally flawed: It’s not the imans, it’s not the idealogues, that’s radicalising young musilims in Britain and indeed around the world. All you have to do to be radicalised, if you’re a young muslim, is switch on the television news and look at the pictures from Palestine, look at the pictures from Iraq, look at the double standards being employed by western statesmen, in relation to these kind of conflicts. That’s what’s radicalising the young muslims here and abroad.” — George Galloway MP, April 2008 (via errorgorilla)
