Britain - Divorce for Galloway

Seems poor old George Galloway just can't get any RESPECT these days. First Galloway was stunned when an Iraqi blogger, Salm Pax, confronted the anti-war activist with a survey showing only 21% of Iraqis want the US out. Galloway made a hasty exit.

Then Galloway had to make another hasty exit when Muslims attacked the launch of his campaign.

Now it looks like Galloway's wife is looking for the exit.

GEORGE GALLOWAY, the controversial leader of the Respect party, is facing a damaging divorce action on the eve of the election.

His Palestinian-born wife questions how he can call the party Respect when she claims he has been disrespectful to her by having a series of friendships with other women.

Amineh Abu-Zayyad has told The Sunday Times she can no longer tolerate his behaviour and will be contacting solicitors this week.


And the Muslims won't like it.

Divorce still has a social stigma in the Muslim world where a man can technically divorce his wife by saying he is divorcing her three times. But it is still unusual for a Muslim woman to divorce her husband.

Speaking from their home in Streatham, south London, Galloway’s wife, a Muslim, said: “I should tell you that when he told me his new party was going to be called Respect, I went upstairs and cried. How can he call it this when he doesn’t even treat his own wife with respect?”

Zayyad, a 39-year-old scientist, married Galloway five years ago. They had met at a political meeting in Glasgow in 1991. “He was my hero,” she says. “He did such a lot for the Palestinians.


Yes, Galloway has done a lot for many terrorists.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Now, if they can just nail his ass for his involvement in the UN oil for food scandal.
