More quotes by Tariq Ramadan
Islam doesn't need reform, we need to reform the Muslim mind.
Tariq Ramadan
We fail when we try to give simple answers to complicated problems.
Tariq Ramadan
There is dignity in your being even if there's indignity in what you're doing.
Tariq Ramadan
Humility is my table, respect is my garment, empathy is my food and curiosity is my drink. As for love, it has a thousand names and is by my side at every window.
Tariq Ramadan
Pushing the limits, to be thought provoking, pushing people to think and question the limits, it's not always bad for the rules if you're confident because it can even strengthen your understanding of religion in the process.
Tariq Ramadan
In its haste to bolster nationalism, in its obsession with security, Europe is losing its soul.
Tariq Ramadan
Man is certainly free, but he is responsible for this freedom before God as before men. This responsibility is inevitably moral. In order of this morality, to be free is to protect the freedom of others and their dignities.
Tariq Ramadan
The Muslim contribution to the future of America is to not only speak out as Muslims, but to also speak out as citizens in the name of our common values. Our main contribution is to reconcile the American society with its own values, those that are not in contradiction to Islam. We have a duty of consistency.
Tariq Ramadan
I want the American Muslims to tell the leaders what they are telling me all the time. I want this internal debate to happen and the Muslims cannot just criticize the leadership without being involved. At the end of the day, you have the leadership you deserve.
Tariq Ramadan
No civilisation can claim to have a monopoly on universal values and no one can claim to be always faithful to his own values.
Tariq Ramadan
Your country needs religious leaders and religious politicians
Tariq Ramadan
What I'm advocating is an intellectual revolution - it's a different mindset concerning the ethical benchmarks by which we live.
Tariq Ramadan
American Muslims are already within the system. We should stop isolating ourselves by thinking we are powerless. The youngest generations of Americans have a better opinion of Islam because they interact with Muslims. Half of young American citizens now are supporting the Palestinians rather than the Israelis. Things are moving.
Tariq Ramadan
We must re-center philosophy within our frame of reference which I think is the way to deal with it.
Tariq Ramadan
In Ramadan, you should eat less and think more.
Tariq Ramadan
You're a man, but the day you raise your voice to your mother, you're not anymore.
Tariq Ramadan
In fact all the Islamists, that is the reformists not the Salafis, now they all say that they want a civil state, a civil state with Islamic reference points. They are not talking about an Islamic state, or sharia in the way this was once understood in the fight against the colonisers, or just afterwards in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Tariq Ramadan
Religious symbols should be visible in public space, in a dignified and non-provocative manner. Christmas trees here, Jewish menorahs there and, further along, a minaret - these symbols represent human life in all its diversity.
Tariq Ramadan
We should know that the American administration is very much involved with the Egyptian army. And when you talk about the Egyptian army, we don't only talk about, you know, political power, we talk about economic power.
Tariq Ramadan
There is nothing more Islamic than critical thinking.
