You decide: Is Galloway a terrorist?

Mr. Galloway has declared that capitalism has murdered more people than Adolf Hitler. He has also declared that President Bush, PM Blair, President Berlusconi, and the PM of Japan are war criminals and
they are responsible for mass murder in the world, for the war, and for the occupation, through their support for Israel, and through their support for a globalized capitalist economic system, which is the biggest killer the world has ever known. It has killed far more people than Adolph Hitler. It has killed far more people than George Bush. The economic system which these people support, which leaves most of the people in the world hungry, and without clean water to drink...Ancient freedoms, which we had for hundreds of years, are being taken away from us under the name of the war on terror, when the real big terrorists are the governments of Britain and the United States. They are the real rogue states breaking international law, invading other people's countries, killing their children in the name of anti-terrorism...
This was said in an interview given to al Jazeera on June 1, 2005. Fortunately, MEMRI was also listening and we have the text and the video.
Additionally, he appeared on Abu Dhabi TV on November 20, 2004 and stated among other things the "U.S. and British governments will burn in 'Hell-Fires.'" [To view this clip, visit http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=372].
You decide for yourself. I am just trying to bring you the facts. Just the facts, Sir/Ma'am.

Well, I am outraged. How about you?
