He had a Muslim wife from about 2000 to 2005. Islam is very clear about a Muslim women marrying a non Muslim husband. <br /><br />The reverse situation is okay, as the man (in Islam) is always the head of the household. Just Google, why can't a Muslim women marry a non Muslim man and the replies are very clear, Road_Hognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-8752420824496887652012-04-01T15:49:22.145+01:002012-04-01T15:49:22.145+01:00Thanks for this.

He is canny and shrewd. Like you, I share Galloway’s opposition to involvement in Afghanistan and advocate our withdrawal, for it is an utterly futile and damaging exercise. It would be preferable to concentrate upon nation building at home. <br /><Durotriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427474698912082351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-37514168095457538792012-04-01T15:34:02.353+01:002012-04-01T15:34:02.353+01:00Ivan, thank you for some excellent background on t...Ivan, thank you for some excellent background on the situation in Bradford and punting for the Muslim vote.

As for Warsi, I do recall mention of her taking a while to decide which party would provide her with the best opportunity for personal political advancement. The Southall situation rings some bells too.

In fact all three parties do it. Labour started it but the other parties have been fast learners. For example at the last two General Elections (GE) the Tory candidate in Bradford West has been Asian. In fact the Tory candidate and his team in the 2005 GE were charged with 350 counts (!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-49772821939312217902012-03-31T19:40:17.138+01:002012-03-31T19:40:17.138+01:00You cannot, as much as I despise the man, blame Ga...You cannot, as much as I despise the man, blame Galloway for taking advantage of a political opportunity. If you say the right things and 'promise' a certain reaction you will get people to vote for you. Once you are in parliament what you do is largely up to the one elected. Certainly such issues as gay marriage, for example, will not sit well with Galloway's constituents. <br /><br Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-16585119630888346072012-03-31T11:07:23.392+01:002012-03-31T11:07:23.392+01:00Ah yes, there is that small matter.
