More quotes by 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
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
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
We must master our egoism, and through this mastery, step outside ourselves and educate ourselves in giving. Fasting requires that we rediscover all that is alive around us, and reconcile ourselves with our environment.
Tariq Ramadan
Violence against embassies and civilians must be categorically condemned. At the same time, we must attempt to understand why such events occur.
Tariq Ramadan
There is no faith, without a critical mind

Tariq Ramadan
Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom.
Tariq Ramadan
If people who cherish freedom, who know the importance of mutual respect and are aware of the imperative necessity to establish a constructive and critical debate, if these people are not ready to speak out, to be more committed and visible, then we can expect sad, painful tomorrows. The choice is ours.
Tariq Ramadan
If there is a smoke, there is a fire, the saying goes, That is quite true, but one should find what the fire is, and who lit it.
Tariq Ramadan
The problem with Salafis is that they are religiously sincere and politically naïve. And they allow themselves to be supported by people who have no religious sincerity but who are politically very smart, especially when it comes to their economic interests.
Tariq Ramadan
If you are not at peace with yourself then you cannot spread peace.
Tariq Ramadan
When we begin to look around us, to observe individuals and societies, and to study philosophies and religions, we realize that our loneliness is shared. Our solitude is plural, and our singularity is the similarity between us.
Tariq Ramadan
We can think of solutions in various theoretical ways, but it's not so on the ground. If they don't have a reference that helps them to belong, then they will end up excluding, and through that they get to feel that they belong on the basis of some narrow identity, language or color.
Tariq Ramadan
When Manuel Valls says there's nothing to understand because understanding is justifying, he echoes back to Georges W Bush's logic in 2001. When François Hollande says they are attacking us because of who we are, what does it say about victims in Mali, Baghdad, Ivory Coast or Turkey?
Tariq Ramadan
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.
Tariq Ramadan
For me I made it clear that I wanted to meet with both sides of the political spectrum.
Tariq Ramadan
Every country in Europe needs immigrants for its economic survival.
Tariq Ramadan
Stand up for your values, be courageous and humble
Tariq Ramadan
In my book Radical Reform I made it clear that we cannot talk about the environment or ecology if we don't also deal with the economy. There is a direct link between how we deal with the economy and how we deal with nature.
