He was the darling of the leftist intelligentsia. They neither knew nor cared about what his Muslim Brotherhood connections demonstrated. And now he has shown that he takes the Qur’an’s permission to rape infidel women (see 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50 and 70:30) seriously, and no doubt all the rest of the Qur’an and Sunnah as well, even while he was being celebrated as the Great Moderate Hope.
“Tariq Ramadan, disgraced former star of European Islam,” AFP, September 10, 2024:
Paris (AFP) – Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, convicted on appeal of rape and sexual coercion by a Geneva court, is a Swiss intellectual accused of masking violence and radicalism behind a mild facade.
Ramadan, 62, is the grandson of the founder of the Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and wrote his doctoral thesis on his ancestor.
He basked in the public spotlight in the 2000s as a professor at Britain’s prestigious Oxford university, lecturing across Europe as well as Morocco, Qatar and Japan, drawing crowds of students wherever he went.
Named by Time Magazine in 2004 among the 100 most influential people in the world for his influence on European Muslims, Ramadan has nevertheless stirred controversy throughout his career.
He has rejected allegations of anti-Semitism as attempts to silence what he sees as legitimate criticism of the Israeli state.
And French defenders of the country’s fierce secularism have accused him of smuggling an identitarian subtext within his modernising message, encouraging young girls to wear the Islamic headscarf or spreading religious fundamentalism.
Well turned-out with trademark trimmed grey hair and beard, Ramadan engaged in verbal jousts with opponents including French polemicist Eric Zemmour, who went on to stand as a far-right presidential candidate in 2022.
He fought back against allegations of fundamentalism, saying he encouraged young Muslims to involve themselves in their societies, calling the headscarf a matter of personal choice, urging “contextualisation” of Islam’s founding texts and condemning violence.
Nevertheless, his attempt to acquire French nationality in addition to his Swiss passport to “provide a concrete, positive example of upholding the values of the Republic” was rejected in 2016 by the then prime minister Manuel Valls.
Court battles in France
Ramadan’s fall from grace began in 2017, when he was first targeted with allegations of sexual violence in France.In total, four women in France ultimately accused him of rapes between 2009 and 2016, while a Swiss woman converted to Islam filed a criminal complaint in 2018 for a rape she said took place in Geneva 10 years before.
The Swiss case is the one in which Ramadan has now been convicted on appeal.
As the allegations broke, he put his 12-year professorship in contemporary Islamic studies at the University of Oxford on hold as support for him haemorrhaged, including from Qatar.
His 2018 admission that he had sex outside his decades of marriage, in which he had four children with a French woman convert, tarnished his image for some religious and community leaders.
Saying he suffers from multiple sclerosis and depression, Ramadan retired early.
Alongside the Swiss case, a Paris appeals court ruled in June this year that Ramadan should be tried for raping three women between 2009 and 2016, a decision his lawyers have challenged.
The scholar spent more than nine months in pre-trial detention in 2018, but was released in November that year….

Ha, ha, ha, ha. He is simply a common sewer rat rapist. A four times sewer rat no less. Nothing more. Serve whatever his jail sentence is and then deport him. Make him Europe’s model of what to do with foreign rapists.

Good for the court. Lock him away and don’t let him out….ever. Don’t care to hear of him again.

Tariq Ramadan: “Will It Stand Up In Court ?”
Sir! – Now that Mr Ramadan has stepped down from his Chair as the “Oxford Professor of Applied Priapism” in order to concentrate on developing his Continental practices, extending his “pro bona” work amongst the young etc – it occurs to me that there may shortly be available a vacancy for a suitable candidate, and I naturally feel that the only really safe course of action would be if I were to take up the vacant chair myself.
Whilst I have to admit that I’m not altogether too enthused about the thought of using any chair that Mr Ramadan has recently vacated, I understand that the work is light – I already have a bicycle and a worn corduroy jacket, can supply my own easily-portable Folding-Chair of Logical Positivism, and I’m generally free on Tuesdays.
I have given some thought to developing a course which I believe accurately reflects the college’s modern-day priorities, which I attach below for your consideration: .
AGENDA (not Left-wing, trans-agenda, or agenda-benda… )
09.00 am: Introduction. I shall start my course gently, taking my new students in easy stages through the famous 19th Century German-Jewish philosophers Hegel, Schlegel, and Bagel, before embarking at –
10.00 am upon the first of a series of short, informative lectures covering topics such as the 20th Century Feminist Movement – (“Kamala Harris – The Woman Who Put The “Ninny” in Femininity”) –
Popular Culture – (“Bridge Over Deeply Troubled Roger Waters”/ “Un-Zipper De Doo-Dah” / “ The Kippah and the Corpse” / “Who Put Their Dong In The Ramadan-a -Ding-Dong” etc)
11.00 am: Film Club: 1942 classic “Casabonca”: Famous lines include anti-hero “Dick ”chillingly telling his protégé “You’re part of my work – the thing that I need! ” and the French magistrate’s immortal response: “I think this is the end of an abusive relationship!” .
11.30 am: To develop their critical faculties, students will then evaluate Professor Ramadan’s famous contention that : “We must all learn to find the extraordinary hidden in the trousers of the all-too ordinary Presidents about us.” (copyright: Clinton Cards 1995 )
12.00 am: Student safety lecture “Run – Hide – Tell”. Deny-all-Admissions Tutor Mr Rogan Josh dismisses the government’ s “Prevent” strategy aimed at countering the fertilisation of the student body – (surely “radicalisation”? Ed) – as a Zionist plot designed to darken his front door. (Recommended reading: “The Golden Age of Architecture – “L’Age d’Or de Large Door”)
At 12.30 we will have a working-lunch in which students will discuss “Bacon – Has He Still Got A Role?” before moving on to examine the Pope’s call for reconciliation -(“Building Bridges With Your Enemies: A New Perspective From The Burma Railway”) – before I finally judge them ready to address the comparatively simple task of settling the “Palestinian Question”. This will be decided by a best-of-three rowing- match between two existing Oxbridge University rowing teams who appear to be tailor-made for the purpose: The Israeli team will be “Goldie” and the “Palestinians” will naturally be represented by “Isis”.
(Mr Abbas has asked to be excused from taking part on the grounds of corruption, conniption, and corpulence, and I have agreed to accept this as a “Too Stout Solution”.)
3.30 pm : Whil e the surviving team members recover their breath, exchange prisoners etc, spectators and students alike will be entertained by the choir of Nosebleed College, Oxford singing a medley of hits including “The Muslim Brotherhood Of Man” / “Losing My Religion” / “Spare Me The Qatar” / “I “The Mississippi-Hippy Sheikh” / “Khomeini Everybody!” / “Dead Males In The Sunset” etc
.
4.45 pm: Winners speech: The piss-artist formerly-known-as-the- “Teflon Don” modestly tells the adoring crowd (Mr Rogan Josh) “Being a track-athlete is very much like being a sexual-athlete; once it’s all over, nobody remembers who came second! Or at least, not if they know what’s good for them, they don’t – if you take my meaning, squire…”
5 .00 pm: All repair to newly-restored Elizabethan playhouse “The Global Warming” to see The Royal
Sheepshank Company perform “The Lefty Professor” – a hilarious romp in which Professor Al Gore and His Fake AlgoreRhythms prove that the surface temperature of Tariq Ramadan’s trousers has increased by a whopping 20 degrees since taking up a new position in the bushes outside Cheltenham Ladies College.

Tariq Rape-A-Dame.
Rick Smith says
Always nice to see these lowlifes get exposed and punished…he thought he could charm everyone with his European suave style, faux sophistication and French accent…but the truth came out he’s an evil, nasty rapist in a fancy suit.
Ofc when you wish to emulate a child-raping warlord, you become a filthy subhuman fiend. How many more vermin like him are hiding in the woodwork? Too many to count I bet…I just hope women are on guard.
abu taleb says
You just can not trust any muslim as long as they adhere to Islamic teaching. How can you trust someone who follows Islamic teaching that allows rape, pedophilia, murder, robery, torture, lying etc.?
Goofy says
What on earth does this fraud have in common with Martin Luther?
1. Martin Luther was our leading reformer, but it is more than doubtful that Islam can be reformed. His rapes do not indicate that he has the mind of a reformer but rather that he is bound by centuries of Islamic traditions.
2. Is Islam a religion at all? If it is just a Deen, a totalitarian social order, how can you deal with Islam as a religion?
sporticus says
This is so unusual that it must be accidental.
Rather like the guy who has a tyre blow-out on the highway -the cops pull over to help only to find
ten kilos of cocaine on the back seat.
But what’s usual? -think of all the academic lizards you’ve come across who trade high grades for sex with nubile young women who eagerly say yes, yes, yes.
Or the Clergy.
The Clergy, of whom it is said that there are only three types:
*Those who are guilty and got caught.
*Those who are guilty and didn’t get caught.
*And those who knew and said nothing.
