George Galloway not welcome in Egypt
Egypt has declared renegade British politician George Galloway persona non grata, accusing him of incitement after his harsh criticism of Cairo over delays in an aid convoy's entry into Gaza.How ironic that a politician who'd doubtless approve of Egypt's Islamic-run regime, which is slowly getting worse in its treatment of Christians, would be shunned by the very same Islamists whom you'd think would actually like him.
A Foreign Ministry statement on Friday said Galloway will not be allowed to enter Egypt again. The activist left Egypt that morning from Cairo airport.
Galloway led more than 500 activists as part of an international aid convoy to Gaza. They entered late Wednesday from Egypt after a month on the road.
On Tuesday clashes erupted between members of the convoy and Egyptian riot police in the Mediterranean port city of El-Arish, and dozens of protesters and police were injured.
The convoy was organized by the Britain-based group Viva Palestina, which planned to deliver hundreds of tons of aid.

The Mubarak regime was not happy with his playing footsie with the Hamas Islamists and it didn't appreciate the way the moonbats tried to tell Egyptians how to run their own country. Galloway, Viva Palestina and Code Pink's "Free Gaza" have now been kicked out and banned from ever re-entering Egypt again. No doubt, they'll blame that all on the Joos'.
Heh

When a country or region declares a person "pesona non grata" it benifits the named party.
Activists want to highlight a cause or case and naming them PNG further highlights the actions to international news coverage.
The CNMI, a US commonwealth tried this with a citizen several years back and it highlighted an otherwise unknown issue. Instee of shutting up the person from Saipan, it led to the US federalizing the territory.
