Tariq Ramadan
You're asking me how not to doubt. Good question.My answer is, you can't. This is life
Tariq Ramadan
When terrorism is directly aiming at Western countries, it is automatically and abnormally enlarged in order to instill emotions and fear. However, when attacks happen in the Middle East, is it conveniently downplayed and less talked about. Unless they would benefit more from a heavy coverage.
Tariq Ramadan
Never forget your dialogue with God, it is your strength.
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
We must re-center philosophy within our frame of reference which I think is the way to deal with it.
Tariq Ramadan
