More quotes by Tariq Ramadan
You cannot limit the debate to being solely in favour or against. It should be more complex. When you condemn, you need to understand what led to it. In general, if it is our responsibility to condemn terrorist actions after they had happened, we have an even greater responsibility beforehand to make sure they won't happen.
Tariq Ramadan
When you're overwhelmed by your emotion, you listen less and you judge more. This is also the reality of the dogmatic mind.
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
To be more precise, it's ethics and liberation, and as a consequence there is an ethics of liberation.
Tariq Ramadan
Always walking along despite the dangers and adversities, despite the injustices and horrors, trusting in God so as not to despair of men and events.
Tariq Ramadan
Serve humanity, regardless of religion. Show solidarity for those suffering and oppressed.
Tariq Ramadan
We cannot have a free market since it does not really set us free. It's free for interest, speculation and consumerism to create false needs.
Tariq Ramadan
Greek philosophy departs from the assumption that we can understand the world autonomously using our rational faculties. Islam is not saying this.
Tariq Ramadan
I wrote a call to the contemporary Muslim conscience, saying to the ordinary people that we might not like the video or the cartoons, but that violence certainly isn't the right answer. I don't think laws are going to solve the problem.
Tariq Ramadan
A Muslim should be sincerely religious AND politically aware.
Tariq Ramadan
The more I know, the best I believe. The more I know, the best I'm worshiping Him. Because, in the end Allah knows the best.
Tariq Ramadan
Globalisation means indeed everything is global but there are still very specific centres of power, especially when it comes to media and news.Misinformation about some attacks is going to affect how emotionally involved the audience is going to get. In the end, an emotional ranking is artificially created when it comes to casualties.
Tariq Ramadan
Stand up for your values, be courageous and humble
Tariq Ramadan
If you do not have boundaries, you do not have a path.
Tariq Ramadan
We want to tell people how great Islam is yet we are not great Muslims.
Tariq Ramadan
The problem with what we call the 'Arab spring' is that these are very nationalistic experiences. Tunisians are concerned with Tunisia, Egyptians concerned with Egypt and so on.
Tariq Ramadan
Your sensitivity is power. Don't let people transform your qualities into weaknesses.
Tariq Ramadan
Muslims, scholars or not, are on the side of the oppressed and never on the side of the oppressors. Some scholars claim they don't do politics but if you listen to their statements in the Middle East or in other conferences, they support corrupt regimes and despots, such as as-Sissi.
Tariq Ramadan
Very often when I see people who are perceived to be, or who call themselves progressives, sometimes I see an imbalance. Yes I understand the courage in their mind but I don't see the spirituality in their heart, good you are questioning the limits, but what about yourself, are you also liberating yourself?
Tariq Ramadan
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.
