At the age of 18, Galloway decided to abstain from drinking alcohol completely, citing “its very harmful effect on people.” In March 2012, Galloway made a statement that some considered strange and unexpected, in which he said: “I am steadfast and adamant in the name of justice and truth!” A Muslim is a person who does not fear the power of a simple person living on earth. A Muslim fears judgment on the Day of Resurrection. Personally, I only think and care about Judgment Day.” Journalist Helen Bead stated in an article published in The Guardian in March 2012 that Galloway had not converted to Islam and that previous statements he had made were to entice Muslim voters in Bradford West to vote.

He was expelled from the Labor Party in October 2003 under the pretext that he had damaged the party’s reputation during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, as he described the Labor Party government as: “Tony Blair’s lying machine” (1) and appealed to British soldiers to “refuse to carry out illegal orders.”
