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

His attack on Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond after the latter's nuanced response to the terrorist attack on Glasgow Airport has brought forth accusations of Islamophobia.[3]

In the same attack 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'.[4]

Publications

His two most recent books are The Balkans in the New Millennium (Routledge, 2005) and The Balkans After the Cold War: From Tyranny to Tragedy (Routledge, paperback edition, 2005). His Theft of a Nation: Romania since Communism (Hurst & Co, 2005) is published in the United States as Modern Romania.[5]
