More quotes by Tariq Ramadan
If you are not at peace with yourself then you cannot spread peace.
Tariq Ramadan
No civilisation can claim to have a monopoly on universal values and no one can claim to be always faithful to his own values.
Tariq Ramadan
We need to realize that we should be on the side of any human being who is oppressed.
Tariq Ramadan
An 'Islamic economy' or 'Islamic finance' doesn't mean anything to me. But I do think that in the multi-polar world, it is time to find new partners, to find a new balance in the economic order. And this could help you to find an alternative way forward.
Tariq Ramadan
A true teacher doesn't teach you to think like him, but to think without him.
Tariq Ramadan
It is important that the Muslim leaders, scholars, and intellectuals are much more vocal and explain what Islam is.
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
IS [Islamic State] has played a major role in helping Bashar al-Assad to reposition Syria on the international scene. Now, it is almost impossible to come up with a solution that would exclude him. The political game appears to be very cynical indeed.
Tariq Ramadan
I don't think we should take the emotional reactions of a few people as more representative than those of the millions of people who took to the street in a non-violent way against dictators.
Tariq Ramadan
Part of the French political class is realising that there is are large number of Muslim people coming from the ghettos who want to make themselves heard, politically, especially about foreign policy issues. Its electoral weight can bring back to the forefront the Palestinian issue.
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
If you know how to live, even death is good news
Tariq Ramadan
There is something which is going to be one of the main challenges in the Muslim world today, in the Muslim-majority countries in the Arab world, is the religious credibility. How are you going to react to what is said about Islam? So, by touching the prophet of Islam, the reaction should be, who is going to be the guardian?
Tariq Ramadan
If you want to have a good life, never forget that you are going to die
Tariq Ramadan
You cannot limit the debate to being solely in favour or against. It should be more complex. When you condemn, you need to understand what led to it. In general, if it is our responsibility to condemn terrorist actions after they had happened, we have an even greater responsibility beforehand to make sure they won't happen.
Tariq Ramadan
Lack of consistency is a weakness shared by all nations.
Tariq Ramadan
The message of Islam asks you to be intellectually, spiritually, socially, and politically independent
Tariq Ramadan
For me I made it clear that I wanted to meet with both sides of the political spectrum.
Tariq Ramadan
We are in a world that is connected, but is not communicating.
Tariq Ramadan
I think that political parties are fuelling this fear in order to create divisions. The more we bring up fear, the more we neglect real political issues. Political debate in France is crumbling since every single issue is brought to Islam now.
