EXPRESS: GEORGE Galloway today strongly emphasised the political standing of his Islamist-backed party, insisting Respect is "definitely not a Muslim party."
At the launch of the Rotherham Branch of the Respect Party today, Mr Galloway said Britain is "ripe for political change," adding that "Rotherham could do better."
Discussing his party's political standing at Talbot Lane Methodist Church, Mr Galloway, who is an alleged Muslim convert, said: "We are definitely, definitely, definitely not a Muslim party."
In the past, the party has been accused of abandoning some traditional liberal-social issues, particularly involving women, in order to attract Muslim support. » | Charlotte Meredith | Tuesday, May 07, 2013
