Personally, I think that George Galloway, MP and bagman for Saddam Hussein (apparently), is a clown and a buffoon.......and he's not winning many friends among the 'true' believers of Islam, either:
Indeed, 'Omar bin al-Khattaab (RA), a great Companion of the Messenger Muhammad (SAW), spoke the haq (truth) when he said:
The meaning of this hadeeth (saying) is that there is no dignity, power, might, honour, glory or respect except in Islam; and whoever seeks dignity, respect and honour from anything other than Islam, Allah (SWT) will humiliate and disgrace him in this life and the Hereafter.
The believers (Muslims) will have the exclusive privilege, honour and dignity of seeing the Face of their Lord in Paradise (Inshaa' Allah), whereas the unbelievers (non-Muslims) and the hypocrites (those who falsely claim to be Muslims) will never see Allah and will be made to walk on their faces on the Day of Judgement and be led into the Blazing Fire, where they will reside forever. However, the unbelievers and hypocrites are unaware of these Divine Facts and disbelieve in them. This is because their kufr (rejection and disbelief in Allah and what He has revealed) is a cause of their humiliation and acts as a barrier which obstructs them from the truth.
Sadly, it is very distressing to see many Muslims in the West seeking honour, respect and dignity from the Kuffaar, despite already being granted these by Almighty Allah (SWT). Just last year, 2005, we witnessed thousands of Muslims participating in the general elections and voting for lawmakers who violate the Sanctity of Almighty Allah by legislating laws (an exclusive Right of Allah).
One would have thought, after so many years, these so-called Muslims would have taken heed from the hadeeth of the Messenger Muhammad (SAW) which states, "The believer is not bitten in the same place twice." After voting for Labour and Conservatives, believing in their false promises and lies, and being bitten in the same place every election year, these so-called Muslims have been bitten once again by voting for a new party, Respect, and its leader George Galloway. One wonders how voting for Respect is any different from voting for any other kufr (un-Islamic) democratic party, such as Labour or Conservatives, as they all have the same agenda, ultimately being a government which rules by their vain desires and evil ideology (democracy).
Recently, Allah (SWT) has disgraced these so-called Muslims and the one they have associated with Allah, George Galloway, by causing him to appear on a reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother". Shows such as this contain all the corruption Allah (SWT) has forbidden, such as free-mixing, fornication, drinking, nudity, swearing and many other abominable acts. These kinds of programmes attract only the lowest of the low who desperately seek recognition and fame by any means possible. They are people who have no honour, respect or dignity and can only be described as animals. George Galloway will certainly have no trouble fitting in as he has all the criteria the show is looking for. Just recently, the media has shown George Galloway at his best – behaving like a cat (animal) purring at the hands of a woman. This is not surprising as one cannot expect anything more from a person of such low intellect and morality, a representative of those who voted for him.
Furthermore, we all saw how Allah (SWT) humiliated and exposed the hypocritical (munaafiq) organisation based in the East London Mosque, Islamic Forum Europe, after Mr Galloway's election victory last year. They were shown on television, and in newspapers, carrying the najas (impure) Galloway on their shoulders, celebrating and parading the one they had shamelessly associated with Allah in order to gain some worldly benefits.
Is this the animal they took as a lord (lawmaker) besides Allah? Is this animal the one they chose to ally with instead of the believers? Is this the animal they chose to represent them in this world and the Hereafter? Is this the animal they campaigned for and called other Muslims to vote for? Is this the animal they appointed to be their knight and liberate Muslim lands? Is this the animal they claimed embraced Islam? How many promises has he fulfilled? Which war has he stopped?
Let this be a lesson for us all. Dignity, honour and respect can only be sought from Allah (SWT) and the way of life He has chosen for mankind, Islam. Whoever seeks 'izzah (dignity) from the Kuffaar or from their ways of life will only be humiliated and disgraced by Almighty Allah in this life and the Hereafter.
There is no dignity except in Islam
Indeed, 'Omar bin al-Khattaab (RA), a great Companion of the Messenger Muhammad (SAW), spoke the haq (truth) when he said:

We are people whom Allah has dignified by [giving us] Islam, and whenever we seek dignity in anything other than Islam, Allah will humiliate us. (Hayaat us-Sahaabah and Usud ul-Ghaab by Ibn Katheer)
The meaning of this hadeeth (saying) is that there is no dignity, power, might, honour, glory or respect except in Islam; and whoever seeks dignity, respect and honour from anything other than Islam, Allah (SWT) will humiliate and disgrace him in this life and the Hereafter.

Those who take disbelievers for awliyaa' [protectors, helpers or friends] instead of believers, do they seek 'izzah [honour, power and glory] with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all 'izzah [honour, power and glory]. (EMQ an-Nisaa', 4:139)
