Tariq Ramadan

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.

Tariq Ramadan
I want the American Muslims to tell the leaders what they are telling me all the time. I want this internal debate to happen and the Muslims cannot just criticize the leadership without being involved. At the end of the day, you have the leadership you deserve.
Tariq Ramadan
Very often we talk about India and China, but not really Malaysia and Indonesia. The potential in the shift to the East is going to be great and very important for this country.
Tariq Ramadan
If you are not at peace with yourself then you cannot spread peace.
Tariq Ramadan
Many times I have asked Muslim women not to nurture the victim mentality. stand up for your rights
Tariq Ramadan
In the West or anywhere else, the treatment of people in an undignified way (structural and institutionalized racism against Latinos or African American citizens) as well as a dangerous dehumanization of some people (in Palestine, Iraq, Africa or Asia) are simply unacceptable.
Tariq Ramadan
The strength of democratic societies relies on their capacity to know how to stand firm against extremism while respecting justice in the means used to fight terrorism.
Tariq Ramadan
