The point for me is people who are atheists or are coming from different religious traditions they are coming from their own sources and specific roots. We should analyze these.

More quotes by Tariq Ramadan
The United States of America or the Western countries, they don't have a problem with Islamists as long as they are neoliberal capitalists and promoting the economic order. And the best example is the petro-monarchies. The petro-monarchies, they don't want democracy. They say there is no democracy in Islam. But they are within the economic system.
Tariq Ramadan
There is dignity in your being even if there's indignity in what you're doing.
Tariq Ramadan
Saying that the origin of the Islamic State (IS) is within the Muslim Brotherhood organisation only strengthens IS.
Tariq Ramadan
Even the concept of the infidel is misleading, because the infidel is normally someone with a different faith, someone who refuses to recognize the truth of the words of the Koran, as revealed by God. He has every right to do so, as long as he does not question my right to believe in my truth.
Tariq Ramadan
The most dangerous prisons are those with invisible bars
Tariq Ramadan
Nature is telling us that if you don't respect the environment then you are living with artificial needs and a consumerism that is destroying the very conditions we need to survive.
Tariq Ramadan
American Muslims are already within the system. We should stop isolating ourselves by thinking we are powerless. The youngest generations of Americans have a better opinion of Islam because they interact with Muslims. Half of young American citizens now are supporting the Palestinians rather than the Israelis. Things are moving.
Tariq Ramadan
The 21st century - and the atheists - needs the presence of religion, just as religion must deal with the real challenges and the thinkers of the day in order to sharpen the conscience and the intelligence of those who study the timeless sacred texts in a spirit of responding to the questions of their time.
Tariq Ramadan
If you read the Qur'an with your head, you find repetition. If you read it with your heart, you find depth.
Tariq Ramadan
Pray in the night so that you can change the world in the day
Tariq Ramadan
When I go back to the Quran I see that the context of Revelation is creation in its entirety. The universe is a Revelation and this of course includes nature, plants and animals. In other words, what is coming from the Quran as rules and objectives are set within the larger scheme of the universe and nature as part of Creation.
Tariq Ramadan
I think what we are seeing is a vicious circle: by covering the controversies and the conflicting realities, it creates a much distorted perception of Islam and Muslims. When a minority is being taken as a majority, it creates a wrong image.
Tariq Ramadan
The message of Islam asks you to be intellectually, spiritually, socially, and politically independent
Tariq Ramadan
Arabic is the language of the Qur'an, but Arab culture is not the culture of Islam.
Tariq Ramadan
We must re-center philosophy within our frame of reference which I think is the way to deal with it.
Tariq Ramadan
The more I know, the best I believe. The more I know, the best I'm worshiping Him. Because, in the end Allah knows the best.
Tariq Ramadan
The challenge for Muslims in America is to respect the fears of ordinary people while resisting the exploitation of those fears by political parties, lobbies and sectors of the media. To meet this challenge, Muslims must reassess their own involvement, behavior and contributions in American society.
Tariq Ramadan
We need to realize that we should be on the side of any human being who is oppressed.
Tariq Ramadan
There is a Sufi trend, a madhabi Sufi trend, and I don't have any problem with this. What is not acceptable is that, first, some scholars are trying to show to the audience that they are open to other trends. However, when it comes to the retreat or the panels, they don't want to be with some of us because they are scared of being exposed.
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.
