One might have described him as unctuous; even oliaginous, but “slippery as a bucket of shit” covers it far more eloquently.

Banned from the USA in 2004 and 2006 for “providing material support to a terrorist organization” by donating money to Hamas, Tariq Ramadan is the grand son of the Fascist Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan Al Banna.

Ramadan was recently appointed (as Melanie Phillips recently pointed out here; http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/5312276/oxfords-latest-prize.thtml) “His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Oriental Studies with effect from 1 October 2009…The chair is funded by a benefaction from Qatar”.

My guess is that Harry’s Place, keen to find any reformist Muslim scholars, no matter how dubious there sincerity, promotes Ramadan in the absence of a more serious contender for a “true Muslim reformer.”

“Go see Tariq Ramadan for free”. If I pay, can I get the right not to see him?

WTF!!!???

I leave Harry’s Place for one day and you’re already promoting Tariq Ramadan.

I better stay, just to make sure you don’t start bigging up Qaradawi.

Malek Boutih, the former head of the leading french anti racist group SOS described Tariq Ramadan as a…”fascist…[who is].. no better than Jean Marie Le Pen.”

I’d love to take a gander at the audience even if it is just for the laughs. The mere fact *Frère Tariq* is not just tolerated, but also fêted, in university circles speaks volumes about the destruction and decay of true intellectual life and academic honesty.

Of just what value is a degree in The Humanities these days?

A bucket of shit?

I don’t think he is ‘professor of Islamic studies at Oxford University’.

Mark J. need only check Brother Tariq’s record; there’s even at least one Tariqophobic book in print but it may be only in French.
