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.

Tariq Ramadan
Life is not black and white when it comes to perception.
Tariq Ramadan
South Africa is labouring to find its revolutionary path the colours of the Rainbow Nation have difficulty blending together the wealthy elites (white, black or Indian) profit from de facto segregation.

Tariq Ramadan
The very moment you understand that being a Muslim and being American or European are not mutually exclusive, you enrich your society. Promote the universal principles of justice and freedom, and leave the societies elsewhere to find their model of democracy based on their collective psychology and cultural heritage.
Tariq Ramadan
To live is to love,to serve, to forgive. Love the One, love and serve humanity. To learn to love oneself and to love is to learn to forgive

Tariq Ramadan
It is important that the Muslim leaders, scholars, and intellectuals are much more vocal and explain what Islam is.
