You Commonwealth folk "BAN" too many things. GG is a dope (albeit a very educated and hilarious one) but should not be "banned" from anywhere. At least not any democracy.

So what exactly has this guy actually done to make him a security threat? I don't see anything in the referenced law that would match anything that the article describes about the guy.

Galloway is a clown and a buffoon, but he's not exactly a security threat (if only because so few people take him seriously).

He offended Our Dear Emperor Stephen I by opposing Afghanistan War.

Dear Canadians, don't forget to pray for Him each night.
Also, if you criticise him, be ready to be called a socialist, terrorist supporter, a separatist or a person who oppose the will of the people.

According to Stephen I, you are a terrorist supporter and a person who oppose the will of the people if you oppose His decision.

You oppose the will of the people because His will is the will of the people since he won the election.
Strangely, when He was in the opposition, he was the will of the people even if His party lost the election. Very strange.

From what I understand the official reason is him speaking out in support of Hamas, which is classified as an illegal terrorist organization in Canada.

Galloway didn't just speak out in support of Hamas he atually went in to Gaza and gave them money and cars:

From what I know, he was not denied entry into the United States, which, as far as I know, also classifies Hamas as a terrorist organization.

He just insulted our dear Führer und Reichskanzler. SEPARATIST! FRANCOPHONE! MILITARY COUP! DAMN FROG! TERRORIST! SOCIALIST! LIBERAL!

The US doesn't really operate this way though. Galloway could most certainly be arrested if he ever sets foot on US soil.

He could be arrested under British law too I'm pretty sure. He probably won't be though because that'd be playing into his hands, what he's doing is basically the real life equivalent of trolling.
