Prominent Islamist Scholar Tariq Ramadan Accused of Rape
PJ Media ^ | 10-21-2017 | Michael van der Galien

Tariq Ramadan is not only the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood (Hasan al-Banna), he's also one of the most well-known Islamist intellectuals in the world. Ramadan simultaneously presents himself as moderate and as a loyal grandson. For instance, in the Foreword to a new edition of al-Banna’s "Risalat al-Ma’thurat," a collection of key texts from the Qur’an and Hadith, Ramadan calls the book "the core of spiritual education for all members of the Muslim Brotherhood." He then praised his grandfather, extolling the "quality of his faith and the intensity of his relationship with God. Anyone who had ever been in contact with him perceived and experienced this."

Note, Al-Banna wrote, among other things:

"In [Muslim] Tradition there is a clear indication of the obligation to fight the People of the Book [that is, Jews and Christians], and of the fact that Allah doubles the reward of those who fight them. Jihad is not against polytheists alone, but against all who do not embrace Islam."

Despite presenting himself as an enlightened intellectual, Ramadan has failed to condemn this part of this grandfather's legacy.

In any case, considering Ramadan's strict religious views, you'd expect him to treat women with respect. After all, an Islamist leader (like him) should especially control himself and resist the urge to have sex outside of marriage.

Wait. If he raped a non Muslim woman, then in his mind there was no transgression. The West has never fully realized that there are few common values and definitions between the two cultures.

That must be an old picture. She’s put on at least 100 pounds since then.

Rape lies theft and treachery are the “Pillars of Islam.”

And, how many accusers?

Don’t there have to be two eye witness men, or four eye witness women, for it to count?

“But according to former Salafist Henda Ayari, who became a feminist activist several years ago... In her book, I Chose to Be Free (published 2016), Ayari describes a terrible event that happened several years ago. A prominent Islamist scholar invited her to his hotel room, where she was raped and assaulted. When she rebelled against this “intellectual” — whom she calls Zubair in the book out of fear that exposing him would cost her dearly — he became extremely aggressive. He screamed at her, slapped her, insulted her, and used other kinds of violence against her.
