Salma Yaqoob | Question Time on Afghanistan | 10.12.09

[Salaamatzz]

When did Piers Morgan get into Politics??? He is power hungry!

MashaAllaah Go Salma! Go!

[Tzimnewman3]

The Respect Party consists of the very best in MP's. George Galloway who is also an excellent MP who like Salma Yaqoob speaks the truth no matter if you like to hear it or not. Vote Respect lets tell the main parties that we want MP's of this high callibre.

[QuranoSunnah]

Very positive answers given by Sister Salma Yaqoob. The best party with sensible people in UK is the Respect Party.

[GrooveGalore]

This woman is awesome,such a voice of reason truth and wisdom unlike anyone ive ever heard of speak on these issues in decades i hope to see here go realy far in the government of the UK and realy bring back the respect that that country should have...

[PapGripDezi]

WOW. she just killed it! amazing WOman.

[allieron]

Respect, Salma Yaqoob.

She's absolutely correct.

Piers Morgan is another leering tool of the Monolith, actively working to fearorize the gullible taxpayers into supporting his sly masters bloated war machine.

Good debate, though. Nice to see it kept clean. Dear old BBC.

[skibb19]

thank you salma you are a star may god help you in every need

[zola253109]

Very good and very encouraging to see someone who speaks the rue voice of the left. Young men and women dying for a lying government is just as tragic as Afghans dying, it's for all of them that we need someone new. I'm personally a Green but I am proud that my party and Respect can work closely together and I look forward to seeing Salma and Caroline working together in Parliament.

[alexlee7773]

piers morgan you fat slug

[qqqqqqqq]

God Bless you Salma. :D

[smezec]

If this woman doesn't win a seat at the next election then there will officially be no sanity left in this country!

[wearechangenorwich]

What a relief to hear.

She clearly speaks not just the Afghan 'side'.

Are there no better voices then the nuggets they fill this show with.. Pearce Morgan? Thanks for editing most of them out, I could watch the show like this..

[claudruiz]

Salma says what the educated HUMAN people think, those with a conscious, the majority of the English people who don't want death and destruction but just want to live in peace and freedom.

Those influenced by the corrupt liar politicians will believe the other crooks on the panel. Let Salma speak you evil people, she barely spoke on the whole show and what she did everyone agreed with!!

[sausagedogheaven]

Politicians don't solve problems. Politicians create problems with lies.

Then they send in armies of young men and women.

Why?

Politicians are not experts in military matters, science or international relations. They are mostly barristers in a club that allows only a select few into the inner core.

Why do we allow them to waste lives and secretly make money from war?

War is a business. That's why it goes on and on.

Zeitgeist, free on YouTube.

[davidnettleton]

Salma managed to outclass Paddy Ashdown - and he is no fool. I hope she wins Birmingham Hall Green on 06 May 2010. The House of Commons needs to hear an alternative British foreign policy which is independent of Uncle Sam.

[active786]

she wipes the floor with him.

the troops are there so uncle sam can secure the oil and gas resources pipes that need to go through afganistan.

same shit as always.

[zakuk77]

UK must take responsibility for their war OF terror and occuation in Iraq and Afghanistan. This little poodle of the US wants to show more teeth than the bite it has. Every Muslim must make his/her disgust clear at the UK authorities who have allowed their countrymen to be sucked into these quagmires that are costing tens of thousands of innocent lives!

[craigowler]

@zakuk77 - Thus despite millions of non- moslem UK residents campaigning against the attacks on both countries

[claudruiz]

Yes!!

[craigowler]

NATO prescence in Afghanistan is primarily to secure the extraction of Natural Gas & Oil and other mineral deposits in the region. There is no other plausible need for NATO to be there.

[craigowler]

.....and the OPIUM....

[123hunkyhunk]

As a British Muslim myself, I agree with Salma to a large degree. The Wootten Basset march is a very irresponsible and poorly thought out idea by Al-muhajiround. Whilst what they are marching about (memories of thusands of dead civilians) is a noble idea, the means they are choosing to do it with, is going to have the completely opposite reaction. Go ahead, do the march, but please not in Wootten Basset. Why not carry 500 coffins symbolising dead afghans in London?

[PeaceNikUK]

Thanks for standing against Islam4UK and Anjem Choudary's extremist and distatesful march in Wootton Bassett, hope they are banned. You've made our soldiers and the memories of the lost ones proud. Keep it up Salma!

[PeaceNikUK]

Thanks for standing up against Islam4UK's extremism demo in Wootton Bassett, you've done our soldiers proud!! Keep it up Salma!

[alexshemesh]

I don't understand why British soldier should have some kind of bonus for participating in war.

Its volunteer service.

Nobody drafted them, nobody forced them.

They choose this job.

Well if you want to be a soldier...you have to accept the fact that you may be crippled or killed.

[craigowler]

Are you aware that without highly inflated bonuses, salaries & recruitment & retention inducements / US Marine Corps would be unable to operate in Iraq & Afghanistan. They rely on unemployed/penniless working class Americans to fill the ranks. The British Army is no different .

[claudruiz]

Problem is when you are young you think you're going to live forever and very gulible. Total manipulation of young people and that's coming from a young person.

[HumanSayNo]

How rude of Piers Morgan to constantly interrupt and expect Salma to shush for him half way through a sentence.....I noticed the host joining in the attempted silencing.

Its a shame that when Piers piped up about 9/11, Salma could not tell him it was an inside job!

[1ScouserNProud1]

Piers morgan couldnt lick much more arse if he tried, what a twat!

[raoneill]

Very good orator but I was looking for the bit where David tells you off for talking over people again and again :p thought you were a bit rude tbh even if you are passionate about it.

[BSTWC]

I think you'll find that Salma only spoke when she was addressed with the exception of one instance. However, against all of the anti-war voices, she had to pipe up to be heard.

[BSTWC]

In actual fact, if you watch the whole show, you'll see that Piers Morgan interrupted her again and again when it was her turn to speak. Despite this the audience repeatedly stated they agreed with Salma.

David Dimbleby targeted Salma unfairly when he patronisingly told her off. People interrupt him and each other all the time on this show, they never get treated like Salma.

[craigowler]

Yep...I watched this programme...my heart went out to Salma for the way she was treated by Dumbleby and the perverted panellists. It proves that the point that the mainstream parties are worried by their stranglehold on British politics being loosened by RESPECT at the forthcoming General Elections.

[BSTWC]

Ashdown, Dannatt, Piers etc. were all interupting each other. Trust a few to pick on Salma because 'she's a woman and a minority and a guest in this country' etc. etc.

She did a great job and the audience suppoirted her! Well done!

[shine609video]

Despite the hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslim civllians dead in the last two years, yeah maybe you are right raoneill, Salma should apologise for being too gobby. More tea, Vicar?

[shine609video]

It's insane but just think if the BNP was in power then muslms around the world would almost certainly be safer than the man parties of either Labour or the Tories. Thanks for your courage, Salma.

[missjanegrrrl]

Salma for P.M.

[hanygaza]

you are greate Salam, yes to END of all kind of occupation

[QKP2006]

Good on you Salma, they tried to silence you and cast you as hysterical... they succeeded only in humiliating themselves and demonstrating their ignorant bias. You spoke eloquently, with knowledge and intelligence. Well done, keep up the wonderful work!

[QKP2006]

Good on you Salma, these people tried to silence you and cast you as hysterical... they succeeded only in humiliating themselves and demonstrating their ignorant bias. Well done, you spoke eloquently, with knowledge and intelligence.

[kaashmirrrrrr]

Salma is my hero.

mashAllah

[hanygaza]

many greetings to you sama. we support you and all innocents in this unjust world

[colintmd]

Well spoken Salma, you are absolutely correct, In my view politicians have made huge errors. There has been gross misleading of the facts and unwillingness to learn from their mistakes; Also a complete lack of knowledge regarding the local culture, and have no integrity or wisdom.
