— BBC reports: George Galloway entourage ‘attacked by Islamic pupils’
— “Mr Galloway’s spokesman said: “There were three characters who were shouting abuse.”
— “‘They were shouting ‘kafir’ [a derogatory word for non-believer], which is very insulting, and that Mr Galloway deserved to die.'”
— “‘They were very aggressive and then they lunged forward towards Mr Galloway. I would certainly consider it an attack.'”
— “The spokesman said that the men barged and pushed other members of the entourage and, had they not been in the way, he believes Mr Galloway would have been assaulted.”
— “He said: ‘It was their intention to have physical contact. Their ire is directed at us because we have Muslims involved in the campaign, and they don’t think Muslims should play a part in democracy.'”
— “Anjem Choudary, ex-leader of Islam4UK, said the claim was ‘fabricated’.”
— “He said the men were his former students who had studied the Islamic religion with him, but refused to say if they were former members of the now-banned Islam4UK group.”
