Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. They take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion.
Tariq Ramadan

Islam doesn't need reform, we need to reform the Muslim mind.
Tariq Ramadan

Life is not black and white when it comes to perception.
Tariq Ramadan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We need modesty not only in the way we dress we need intellectual modesty.
Tariq Ramadan
Image
Our democratic societies are in danger. In allowing ourselves to be infiltrated by fear, to be blinded by the passion of identity, we are entertaining the most serious illusions about our freedom.
Tariq Ramadan
Image
Lack of consistency is a weakness shared by all nations.
Tariq Ramadan
