Of course. What else could possibly account for these rape and sexual assault claims? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
Tariq Ramadan, meanwhile, is a pious, believing Muslim. In Islam, it is the woman’s responsibility to cover herself and thereby remove the man’s temptation. If she fails to do so and he sexually assaults or even rapes her, it’s her fault. Moreover, according to Islamic law, a woman’s testimony is not admissible in cases of sexual crime, zina, even if she is the victim. Thus Tariq Ramadan always knew that as far as Islam went, he could deny the charges, and that would be that. And if a woman ever threatened to go to the secular courts, there were ways to deal with that as well: “Two years later he called me to a hotel in the suburbs and then threatened me that he had compromising things on me.”
“Supporters of Islamic Scholar Tariq Ramadan Say Sexual Assault Claims ‘Zionist Plot,’” by Simon Kent, Breitbart, October 30, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
As Breitbart London reported, ex-Salafist Henda Ayari, 40, who now identifies as a secular feminist, filed a complaint with French authorities last week accusing Mr. Ramadan of sexually harassing her, raping her, and issuing death threats towards her.
“It was the #BalanceTonPorc campaign that pushed me to reveal his name,” she told the Parisien newspaper, in reference to France’s version of the hashtag which means “Expose your pig.”
Two more claimants have since come forward to add their names to the list of those making accusations against the leading Oxford professor.
Mr. Ramadan, grandson of Hassan Al Banna who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, denies any wrong doing and maintains his innocence.
Now journalist Caroline Fourest, who has covered Ramadan’s controversial career, has written in the Marianne weekly that his supporters claim allegations of assault are part of an elaborate “international Zionist plot” to tarnish his reputation. In a column titled “The Double Life of Tariq Ramadan,” she revealed:
Of course, Tariq Ramadan denies all. On social networks, one of his loyal lieutenants already sees an “international Zionist” plot. His fans accuse the victim, a repentant Salafist, of lying and wanting to advertise (enviable as everyone knows). I did not meet her. But what I can testify to is that her story, precise and terrifying, is very similar to that of four other women I met.
In 2007, author Fourest wrote an entire book about the “doublespeak” of Ramadan in her work, Brother Tariq: The Doublespeak of Tariq Ramadan….

Moderate Muslim???
I am so sick of this mantra of moderate Muslims. I think there is two category of “moderate” Muslims exists: the first is the one who are very clear on the violent nature of Islam and clear on its final goal: world domination, but either lack the courage to follow its violent jihadist members or smart enough to follow the civilization jihad (Muslim Brotherhood tactics – migration “hijra” and breeding out of control). These are the people who dancing on the streets of their no-go zones after each terrorist attacks. The second group is the ignorant ones. (lot of Leftist migrant supporter, western media and politicians are in this category also). Best to explain this is like a guy who says he loves the Nazis because they built those awesome highways (autobahn) and created the Volkswagen Beetle. What else the Nazis did? He does not really know…

We have to pray that these women get justice.

“Zionist plot”? Come on, Tariq, don’t round up the usual suspects. There are just too many “Zionist plots” already. You can do better than that. You’re the Waddling Emir Professor of Taqiyya at Oxford, for god’s sake. Use your imagination. The Freemasons? Fethulleh Gulen? Former Pope Benedict? Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Geert Wilders? Manuel Valls? Brigitte Bardot? The ghost of Charles Martel? Tariq, fais un petit effort.
RichardL says
Yeah, he seems lacklustre. He believes he doesn’t need to do much.
Jaladhi says
No, no, no,…. “the Zionist plot” always works better! It is such a world wide conspiracy against Muslims!! Ha, ha,..
Westman says
How about blaming it on the temptings of old ash-Shayṭān and the Jinns? Even Jimmy Swaggart knew enough to blame things on the Devil’s tempting for Western consumption.
Obviously, Ramadan’s supporters are playing to the Muslim audience who consider Jews to be more hated than Shaitan.
The Old Testament says the evil burn in Satan’s Hell. The Quran says the evil burn in Allah’s Hell. One could be forgiven for wondering, “Same guy?”
Mamade Taslim Torabally says
Satan didn’t create hell. God did to punish the devils, bad jinns and evil men.
mortimer says
We are to believe that all the FAITHFUL MUSLIM WOMEN who made an accusation sexual misconduct against Tariq Ramadan are secret Jewesses working for Israel?
Ha, ha. What else have you got? (sarc/off)
henner720 says
they bully and smear and later victimize themselves. in a 1400 years perfected sayvy spiritual expert way wanna stuff spiritual gangsta ,ideas into us, but we had enough. we love and keep a civilized life with possuble free thinking.
Angry Aussie says
Given she is ex Salafist, she has a very good understanding of Islam and was no moderate. Well done to her for speaking out. That would have been incredibly difficult to do had she remained “devout”.
The Istanbulian says
It’s all fun and games til someone uses a nonwhite guy.
If you are rapey and you know it blame a Jew
If you are rapey and you know it blame a Jew
If you are rapey and you know and you really want to show it…blame the Jews!
But in all seriousness Harvey Weinstein is a Muslim Brotherhood agent in an international plot to give Zionists a bad name…
Right…..
Come on Islam – man up and stop being islamophobes by denying yourselves agency.

Supporters of accused moderate Muslim rapist Tariq Ramadan blame charges on “Zionist plot”
………………..
Well, of course. If civilized Infidels are concerned about Muslims raping people, surely it must be the fault of the Joooooooooos…sarc/off

First up – there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. That’s a misnomer, right there. There are Muslims and there are non Muslims. And those who are Muslims are bad. Plain and simple. Not all are terrorists. Not all are rapists. Not all are pedophiles. Not all are vicious, uneducated, mindless creatures. But they all collectively, prop up that filthy ideology and are thus, accountable for it and the vile message that it promotes.
Secondly, I find it laughable whenever I see, read or hear of any Muslim bitching like am ignorant, uninformed and hormone riddled teenager about the Jewish people. There are around 14.5 million Jews globally. There are around 1.6 BILLION Muslims. Suuuuuuuuuuuure its a Zionist plot. Sure.
So statistically, the Muslims represent somewhere around 23% of the global population. The Jewish represent somewhere around ZERO POINT TWO FIVE PERCENT. They are a flea on the backside of an elephant in comparison, when you are looking at the numbers.
Muslims are eternal victims. And eternal idiots. Eternally worthless and eternal waste’s of space. If you judge the achievements and the positive net gains to the world, offered by the Muslims and then compare them side on to the positive net gains to the world offered by the Jewish people – well let’s face it. We could do with swapping the percentages here, and having 23% Jewish and 0.20% Muslim. That would be nice. Maybe that’s why the scum Muslims are so fear-filled regarding the Jewish people – they fear that which is undoubtedly far superior in every possible way.
