Tom Gallagher
Tom Gallagher is the chair of East European Studies in the Department of Peace Studies at Bradford University and a research fellow at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington DC.[1] In his capacity as a terrorologist and a 'leading Scots academic on religious affairs'[2] he has repeatedly condemned the Scottish Government for its alleged role in being 'soft' on radical Islam.

Attack on Alex Salmond
Gallagher was accused of Islamophobia for his sweeping attack on Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond after the latter's nuanced response to the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport. Gallagher also accused Salmond of pandering to 'minorities' -- 'as Scotland's answer to Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt or the Irish leader Michael Collins'.[3]
