More quotes by 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
Islam is a religion of justice and dignity, and we are taught to never keep silent when facing injustice, discrimination and double standards.
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.

There is great potential and deep fragility [in Malaysia] that can be used by any group that stresses on religion, pushing towards Islam, rejecting people and alienating migrants - anything can be used to win the next elections. So these are the signs of fragility that is very much there.
Tariq Ramadan
The Truth does not belong to you, you belong to the Truth.
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
We are in a world that is connected, but is not communicating.
Tariq Ramadan
There is dignity in your being even if there's indignity in what you're doing.
Tariq Ramadan
For Muslims, the source of everything we do is based in the belief that there is one God, and this one God is revealing to us there is one humanity with equal dignity for each, beyond faith, color and social status. Whatever your status, color, background or religion, you have the same dignity.
Tariq Ramadan
Violence against embassies and civilians must be categorically condemned. At the same time, we must attempt to understand why such events occur.
Tariq Ramadan
If there is a smoke, there is a fire, the saying goes, That is quite true, but one should find what the fire is, and who lit it.
Tariq Ramadan
Muslims must speak out and explain who they are, what they believe in, what they stand for, what is the meaning of their life. They must have the courage to denounce what is said and done by certain Muslims in the name of their religion.
Tariq Ramadan
We can think of solutions in various theoretical ways, but it's not so on the ground. If they don't have a reference that helps them to belong, then they will end up excluding, and through that they get to feel that they belong on the basis of some narrow identity, language or color.
Tariq Ramadan
Life is not black and white when it comes to perception.
