Tariq Ramadan
If you know how to live, even death is good news

Tariq Ramadan
Life is not black and white when it comes to perception.
Tariq Ramadan
This simple truth is the essence of my message to Muslims throughout the world: know who you are, who you want to be, and start talking and working with whom you are not. Find common values and build with fellow citizens a society based on diversity and equality.
Tariq Ramadan
What we get from all religions especially from the Prophet's life, peace be upon him, is that there is no way to reach peace if we are not ready to sacrifice, not ready to strive, not courageous enough to face the powers here and the dictators who don't care about humanity or human life.
Tariq Ramadan
If you want to have a good life, never forget that you are going to die
Tariq Ramadan
