Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Tariq Ramadan openly calls for Muslim colonization of the U.S. — Dallas, July 27, 2011

French journalist Caroline Fourest has published a book-length study of Tariq Ramadan’s sly duplicity, Brother Tariq. Fourest concludes that this much-lionized putative Muslim Martin Luther is actually anything but a reformer: in reality, Ramadan is “remaining scrupulously faithful to the strategy mapped out by his grandfather, a strategy of advance stage by stage” toward the imposition of Islamic law in the West.

Ramadan, she explains, in his public lectures and writings invests words like “law” and “democracy” with subtle and carefully crafted new definitions, permitting him to engage in “an apparently inoffensive discourse while remaining faithful to an eminently Islamist message and without having to lie overtly — at least not in his eyes.” Ramadan, she said, “may have an influence on young Islamists and constitute a factor of incitement that could lead them to join the partisans of violence.”

And remember Muhammad’s old adage: “war is deceit.”

“‘It should be us, with our understanding of Islam, our principles, colonizing the United States of America.’ — Tariq Ramadan, Dallas, July 27th 2011,” Point de Bascule, August 3 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

On July 27, 2011, Tariq Ramadan gave a speech at a fundraiser organised by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) in Dallas (TX).

GMBDR describes ICNA as “a less well-known part of the Muslim Brotherhood network in the U.S., generally thought to be closely tied to the Jamaat-e-Islami organization of Southeast Asia, itself known to be allied with the Muslim Brotherhood. ICNA is particularly close to the Muslim American Society and the two organizations have been holding joint annual conventions for many years.”

The website voicesempower.com and other American websites have reported on the fact that several ticket holders, who had paid their way to listen to Ramadan in Dallas, were expelled from the conference room. In spite of that, some spectators managed to record Tariq Ramadan’s conference and made it available on YouTube.

Tariq Ramadan’s conference is available in three parts:

Part 1 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WDEfVdsr3M

Part 2 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1ElwUjPuHE

Part 3 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2h5ZDiMQno

The highlight of the conference occurred at the beginning of the first part. Tariq Ramadan enjoins his listeners “not to be colonized” by the consumerist society then added that the Muslims should be the ones “positively” colonizing the United States of America “with our understanding of Islam, with our principles”.

Later, in his conference, Ramadan blamed his critics who refuse to be colonized by him and by those who share his “understanding of Islam”. “What does it mean colonizing?”, Ramadan asked the crowd.

Point de Bascule presents the transcript of the most important excerpts:

Video 1 — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WDEfVdsr3M

03:21

We should all be careful not to be colonized by something which is coming from this consumerist society”¦

03:37
It should be us, with our understanding of Islam, our principles, colonizing positively the United States of America.

04:37
But let me tell you something. On the long run, I”m quite optimistic. I think that Inshallah (inaudible word) our future in the West is going to be a bright future, to be positive.

04:52
By the way, we are not here by accident. We are not here by accident.

05:54
We are learning how to be a Muslim. It’s difficult, it’s a challenge, it’s a jihad…

06:18
On the long run, we also have to think about our contribution. We should be a gift to the United States of America. We should be a gift to the West.

06:28
We don’t want the West to be destructed. What we want is the West to be reformed.

Not Islam to be reformed. The West to be reformed.
