Tariq Ramadan has provoked many controversies. As the grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood founder al-Bannah, he graduated writing an apologetic piece about his grandfather, fully omitting the part about al-Bannah reverence for Hitler and the Nazi ideology. The MB is known for their distribution of nazi propaganda in the middle east and their support of the nazies (Hamas is a fraction of the MB btw).

This "intellectual" preaches a sweat sounding version of Islam to westerners, while fully supporting the oppressive and discriminating aspects of Islamism when addressing his faithfull scholars. After being exposed and puked out by the french speaking world, Leftist Rotterdam took him "to build bridges", then also exposed him for supporting Teheran and kicked him out. More then six books have been written about this dangerous man and I encourage people involved to look them up and inform themselves.

No matter how you look at it, you will always judge this man by his ancestors history.

This is the problem with some western thinking, you act as judge, jury and executioner before the presumed guilty party even attempts to defend themselves. So , yes, I have read up, and no, I do not agree with your assessment..nothing has been exposed except lies and hearsays...supporting Teheran!!! you should read up on his comments on the subject.

You have clearly already made up your mind about the man...fortunately, so have I and he has my full support into adapting Islam to European standards... this is exactly what is needed today to bridge the gap of mistrust between Islam and the West. BTW, please read up on his books instead of just about him.

If he was dangerous, believe me he would not be lecturing at Oxford University in the UK.
