Galloway: "So who wrote Exodus?"

Said Galloway to a caller who tried to justify the Jews return to The Promised Land. It was given to the Jews by God as his Chosen People. The caller said that this what what God wanted and no-one will ever change that.

Galloway mocks the caller "Who wrote Exodus?" he asks, implying that it was men who wrote Exodus and so the idea of God's gift to the Jews was simply a man-made piece of chicanery.

Who wrote the New Testament George? Who wrote the Koran. Obviously, if Galloway can allude that the Old Testament was written by men then he must lay the same claim against the Koran. The Koran could not be the word of Allah according to Galloway's ideas since it incorporates the story of Exodus and if that was written by man - then the Koran is imperfect and suspect. Go on George, tell that to your Muslim constituency.

We could go further, if God wasn't involved then Moses couldn't be a prophet. Hence he couldn't be a prophet of Islam. Isn't Galloway really dissing the whole story and so denying the prophet status of a prophet of Islam? What! No rage???

Galloway asks what has something written 2,000 years ago got to do with the present day. So, equally what has the New Testament and Koran got to do with the Modern era either.

Galloway ALSO discussed his Catholic faith. He stated that he was a committed Scot who also had his heart in Ireland and no-one would ever make him give up that connection.

So Galloway, never suggest that any Jew who supports Israel should go to Israel. We aren't saying he ever has but let's him never say it.
