I don't think I've ever met anyone better suited to face down the rigours of Westminster and to make a presentation of principle for his community and for his country. I've never met anyone better endowed with the qualities required to be an outstanding member of parliament.
Alex Salmond MSP, SNP leader
Osama is one of the most talented people in Scottish politics to come through in the next generation. It is people like Osama who will change Scotland for the better.
Angus Robertson, leader of the SNP in the House of Commons
I know that Osama will work for justice. I know the integrity and the goodness in his heart, not just for the downtrodden people in Palestine and the Middle East, but the downtrodden people of Glasgow. That's why I'm proud to support Osama. He will do a fantastic job locally and he will put Scotland and Glasgow on the international stage.
Sandra White MSP
A twenty-something Scots-Asian with the intelligence and commitment to Scotland to take him right to the top in Scottish politics
Margo MacDonald MSP
Osama Saeed's Westminster campaign is hugely important and a change is desperately needed in Glasgow Central. Having known him for a number of years, his record on community matters is impeccable.
Aamer Anwar, human rights lawyer
Good on you! All best. I couldnt think of a better person for the position!

When i was a kid and i used to live in Glasgow, i used to attend the Youth club that Osama would run weekly, we used 2 play football. Now that i have moved back to Coventry i realise how important it was to have stuff like that. Something for kids to do keep them off the streets and out of trouble.
I remember days after Sep 11, watching the news and i saw Osama on Sky News, at a time where there was so much going on the backlash the Muslim community received, we needed people to speak up and that he did. It's good to see Osama achieve so much and God willing you will achieve much more, a True Role Model
Amar Shabir
Well I am an Englishman and have little to do with Glasgow. But I am a huge fan of Osama's blog and a huge fan of his. And although we have never met i find his musings inspirational. I therefore would like to wish Osama and his team all the best

The key to success is when preparation plus opportunity = success . You have done a whack of preparation, now the the bus of opportunity is on the way . We are with you a hundred percent . Go for it, success of unlimited proportions is on the cards.

I don't see why you can't represent the SNP for Glasgow Central. Its about time we had a change for the better. I have not seen anything productive from the current MP, nor do I think he has given a positive or decisive representation of the constituency that he represents. Why oh why do people fail to see this. Everyone complains about the current set up, but when it comes to voting, noone bothers! its about time we did! Good luck!
