We need to realize that we should be on the side of any human being who is oppressed.
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
We should say to the West: You have been supporting dictators for too many years. Don't expect the people to introduce democracy over night. It is going to take time. It took time with the French revolution, it took time with the Eastern European revolutions. And it is going to take time there.

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.

There is a Sufi trend, a madhabi Sufi trend, and I don't have any problem with this. What is not acceptable is that, first, some scholars are trying to show to the audience that they are open to other trends. However, when it comes to the retreat or the panels, they don't want to be with some of us because they are scared of being exposed.

We fail when we try to give simple answers to complicated problems.
Tariq Ramadan
The diversity is the risk of war, the necessity of diversity is mutual respect
Tariq Ramadan
I am saying the same to Muslims in the global South, telling them: Just ignore what is done. However, in the Southern countries they are not living in a comfortable society like you and me. They deal with unemployment, corruption, and surviving. For the majority of them, their religion is helping them survive.
Tariq Ramadan
The point for me is people who are atheists or are coming from different religious traditions they are coming from their own sources and specific roots. We should analyze these.
Tariq Ramadan
To be more precise, it's ethics and liberation, and as a consequence there is an ethics of liberation.

The perception in the Arab world now is that we are having secularists against Islamists, and that's it. So the secularists are progressive the Islamists are reactionary, conservative. This perception is wrong.
