How did George Galloway squeeze the producer of "Undercover Mosque" at Press TV?

George Galloway clashes with Hardcash producer over Channel 4's Undercover Mosque program

British Muslims have reacted with dismay and disgust to Channel 4's Undercover Mosque program, which claimed to expose extremism in British mosques.
Muslims have complained that the film was deeply irresponsible and will only increase Islamophobia and racial hatred in this country.

The film has been denounced for focusing on a minority of extreme statements and blowing them out of all proportion, thus demonizing the entire Muslim community. It has also been condemned for its insinuation that British Muslims are being radicalized by Saudi Islam, when all the evidence points to the fact that they're being radicalized by British foreign policy.
In a heated exchange on Press TV's the Real Deal program, David Henshaw, the producer who made Undercover Mosque, was challenged by host George Galloway MP.
Galloway accused Henshaw of having a problem with Islam and Muslims and insulting them on the first day of Ramadan, as well as inciting non-Muslims against them.
Henshaw said his film was just conveying the feelings of so-called moderate Muslims who believe their religion has been hijacked.
The 11-minute exchange involved much finger-pointing and accusatory language and ended up with Galloway calling Henshaw a "hooligan".

Galloway "squeezing" Henshaw??? Are you watching the same video?

Galloway is clearly lacking arguments, poorly prepared and looks rather pathetic - there is a very clear argument from the part of Henshaw, and I don't see anything but a very refutable punch-line (which failed to punch) coming form Galloway.

Is this guy Galloway sick in the head or something? He doesn't see any problem that Britain is full of islamic cult members which wants to kill people for no reason at all. Instead he attacks the man who wants to stop islamic radicals from killing innocent people in Britain.

WTF @ 1:06 they look like two children sitting at a table. The Table and chairs are fucking huge

[NebulousEsoteric]

That channel 4 guy doesn't have any manners.

Muslim women are the ones protesting the high number of honor killings and the lack of prosecution in the countries where they live. Muslims are the ones issuing fatwas against many ordinary things, such as flying the British flag in England.

Galloway desperately tries to spin the interview toward his own conclusion in spite of any answers he gets from the producer.

Galloway's an idiot.

@periodistaAJ ae911truth.or g - you have no idea about the reality you live in

I am a big big big big fan of george galloway but i think he made a little bit of a tit of himself on this one

[smujismuj]

I agree with much of what Galloway was saying, but he didn't do his cause much good here. Losing one's temper alienates educated viewers, even if it is justified.

Another point that wasn't noted here is that Rabbis and Vicars are generally more media savvy & know better than to be completely honest about some of their true feelings. I've no doubt that while they may not publicly call for violence on those they find objectionable, their private desires might be very different.

@coleridgemanan

I have spoke to him on the radio and have stomached listening to him. He calls British Soldiers Terrorists so his definition of the word terrorist is different from my own. Why are the Jewish even terrorists please give me a example of their terrorism? as for the British and Americans being terrorists again this is yours and Georgies miss use of the word.

[coleridgemanan]

@FeignofCordor excuse me but u never listen to his talks and how he condones all types of terrorism . But what about jewish terrosits and the american and there puppy dogs england following suit . They r the biggest terrorist .
