Director of the Middle East Centre Eugene Rogan said: “It’s not just about sexual violence. For some students it’s just another way for Europeans to gang up against a prominent Muslim intellectual. We must protect Muslim students who believe and trust in him, and protect that trust.”
Eugene Rogan would ordinarily be a shoo-in for the Islamopanderer of the Year award, but this year he has such stiff competition that his victory is by no means assured.
Apparently now at one of the foremost universities of the Western world, you can do essentially anything, commit any crime, and suffer no consequences, as long as disciplinary action against you might upset Muslims.
“Don accused of rape to continue teaching,” by Emily Lawford, Cherwell, November 3, 2017:
Students at the Oxford Middle East Centre have reacted in anger to the University’s response to the mounting accusations of rape against Islamic professor Tariq Ramadan, accusing senior figures of acting “as if nothing had happened”.
Ramadan is currently being investigated by French authorities over two allegations of rape, sexual assault, violence and harassment. Ramadan has described the allegations as a “campaign of lies” and said he is suing the alleged victims for “slander”.
Since the first allegation of rape surfaced two weeks ago, the professor has reportedly taught a seminar in Oxford and been seen “laughing” with faculty members.
In response to requests from students, senior figures in the faculty held a meeting on Tuesday “to address implications for student welfare arising from the allegations”.
The faculty told students they intend Ramadan to continue to both tutor and supervise on his return to Oxford from Qatar – although students may ask for another faculty member to be in the room if they wish.
At the meeting, held at St Antony’s College, several students expressed anger at the “lack of communication” from the University, claiming they had heard of the allegations by “word of mouth” without any acknowledgement from the department.
Director of the Middle East Centre Eugene Rogan repeatedly apologised to students for taking ten days to respond to the allegations, blaming the delay on the fact that the controversy was happening in another country with a different legal system.
Rogan reminded students: “It’s not just about sexual violence. For some students it’s just another way for Europeans to gang up against a prominent Muslim intellectual. We must protect Muslim students who believe and trust in him, and protect that trust.”
Many staff members encouraged those present not to speak to the media about the furore. Professor Rogan told students: “We can’t tell you what you should say. But I encourage everyone to use their moral judgement about how they voice their concerns – not to victimise the women who’ve made the allegations or the men who’ve been accused of
things they’ve not yet had the chance to defend themselves against.”One postgrad said: “There should have been a more open and frank discussion with female students about how to make them feel safer,” she said. “Women won’t come forward here and say how they feel.”
A number of students expressed concern about Ramadan continuing to teach and be present in the faculty. One claimed that immediately following the first allegation, Ramadan was seen “walking and laughing in the hall as if nothing had happened.”
Head of humanities Karen O’Brien told students that Ramadan is still a supervisor, but his doctoral supervisees could have individual discussions about how they would like their supervisions to proceed.
She stressed that their priority was that the students’ education could continue uninterrupted, adding:“The situation will be kept under review. We can’t prejudge outcomes.”
A Middle East student told Cherwell: “Frankly, I’m shocked by how badly the University has dealt with this incident. While Professor Ramadan must be assumed innocent until proven guilty, this does not excuse the absolute lack of communication between the Middle East Centre and affected students.
“This story broke two weeks ago. At very least, we should have received an email [from the faculty].
“Also disappointing is how Professor Ramadan was allowed to teach MPhil students as usual last week, despite these serious allegations having been made.”…
Jaladhi says
So Oxford University is now haven for rapists!! How long before it protects murderers also?? Is it possible they are doing this to protect other faculty members who might be exposed later??
Tom Davis says
I recall a ‘scandal’ years ago of two professors, one male, one female, who had an affair at (as I recall) Vassar. When the complaints were made the male professor said the other faculty were jealous since they only had students to prey upon.
Jack Diamond says
Rapists may be something new for Oxford but not necessarily murderers.
The Oxford Center for Islamic Studies is part of Oxford. The first person listed as a trustee of the OCIS
is Dr. Abdullah O Naseef. Mr. Naseef was a top al Qaeda godfather, a financier of bin Laden and founder of both the Muslim World League and the Rabita Trust, a designated global terrorist entity (one month after 9/11).
http://www.oxcis.ac.uk/trustees.html
United States District of Colombia, Case #1:02CV01616(JR), shows that Abdullah Omar Naseef was defendant #97. Naseef ran a charity front for terror:
“1058. Rabita Trust, a subsidiary of the Muslim World League, is connected to the SAAR Network, through two officers, Dr. Abdullah Omar Naseef and Abdullah al-Obaid. The SAAR Network was the focus of March 2002 raids led by United States authorities for the network’s ties to al Qaeda.
1059. On October 12, 2001, President George W. Bush’s Executive Order designated Defendant Rabita Trust as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity and the Treasury Department froze its assets. In addition to being a subsidiary of the Muslim World League, the Rabita Trust is also connected to the SAAR Network through two officers, Defendant Abdullah Omar Naseef and Defendant Abdullah al-Obaid. Defendant Abdullah Omar Naseef founded the defendant Rabita Trust in July 1988 and is currently its chairman.
1060. Abdullah Omar Naseef also served as Secretary-General of the Muslim World League during the time he created Defendant Rabita Trust and has attempted to spread Muslim World League offices around the world. Part of his global efforts are found in his involvement in a SAAR Network charity.”
Naseef personally appointed one of al Qaeda’s co-founders, Wa’el Hamza Julaidan, to direct Rabita Trust. Julaidan also headed the Muslim World League in Peshawar.
Rabita Trust was an al Qaeda front closely intertwined with the IIRO (international islamic Relief Organization) and the Muslim World League. {It is important to add both the MWL and IIRO are direct arms of the Saudi government). All these branches of the MWL shared offices, addresses, and overlapping officers as part of the SAAR foundation network, that shell game of jihad financing located in Herndon, Va. {At a terrorist prosecution in Chicago in 2003, the Justice Department proffered that bin Laden had told his aide Jamal al-Fadl that the Muslim World League was one of al Qaeda’s top three funding sources}.
Besides funding Murder Inc. and America’s enemies, Naseef was President of King Abdul Aziz University. There, Naseef brought Huma Abedin’s father to Saudi Arabia as a visiting professor and became the patron of the Abedin family, creating the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs and it’s journal, where Huma worked for a dozen years. Two years BEFORE Huma sat on the board of the JMMA with Naseef, Abdullah Naseef was formally connected to al Qaeda by the U.S. government.
And Hillary Clinton, Huma’s new patron, is the person who lifted the ban on Tariq Ramadan, allowing him entry into the United States.
Huma’s brother, Hassan, was (big surprise) a fellow at the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies. As was Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. To finish this off nicely, the patron of the OCIS is HRH Charles, the Prince of Wales.
mortimer says
Jack Diamond exposes the murky backroom politics and bribery involved in the appointment of Ramadan, thus supposedly making him untouchable due to his influential friends.
It stinks.
Ramadan should be suspended until the trial is complete to spare the female students from anxiety. They should not be forced to request another teacher. They should get another teacher automatically.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that grim information, Jack.
Jayell says
There’s a young ‘lady'(sic) student at Oxford who is apparently tipped to be a star brain surgeon of the future who appears to be having a few personal problems at the moment – like she seems to be finding behaving in a controlled and rational way challenging and has been having difficulty keeping away from alcohol and hard drugs. She recently found herself in court on a serious charge having gone beserk and stabbed a young man she was with on a date. Was she sent to prison? No. Did Oxford kick her out as they might normally do in such cases of serious misconduct? No. They suspended her for 15 months so that she can return and become a star criminal of the future. So she didn”t quite manage to murder a young man this time, but Oxford will no doubt give her an honourary doctorate when she actually pulls it off.
As for Ramadan, the man seems to be a confirmed sexual offender and a suspected fraudulant academic charlatan, so no doubt that makes him eminently qualified for anything islamic – you can’t catch the Oxford boffins out there, they know their stuff!
What is interesting is that you can be a high-flying (white male) British Cabinet minister with a proven success record, touch some journalist bird’s knee 15 years ago, and you have to fall in your sword and possibly put an entire UK Government in jeopardy when we’re trying to extricate ourselves from a totalitarian cartel under the leadership of a ‘captain’ who apparently doesn’t know her arse from her elbow. It would seem that it’s not only in Oxford that can you get away with attempted murder, criminal sexual incontinence and crass incompetence if you’re (a) female, (b) muslim or (c) both.
By the way, how many readers know that until relatively recent times it was possible to convert an Oxford Bachelor’s degree into a Master’s just by paying to stay around the place for an extra year? Oxford University – the Inventors of Integrity!!
John Forbes says
Well not that special in the UK ! After all CORBYN protected Muslim Child Rapist Groups in the sacking of Sarah Champion & did not discipline or say anything to to his PAKISTANI NAZ SHAH – who stated that the abused girls should SHUT UP – for the sake of DIVERSITY !
Plice for two decades refused to even investigate child rape ! Arrested RAPE VICTIMS who were 13 for being drunk – despite the fact that they were naked in a house with 7 PAKISTANI MEN !
So SAVING this MONSTER FITS the UK pattern perfectly !!
Jaladhi says
I think the Brits love Muslims and Islam so much that they will hide and protect the murderers and rapists among them!1
Anne Smith says
Correction – Brit politicians and public servants love Muslims. I do not think the great British public have any great love for them – but the Government has effectively muzzled the Brits by their pernicious hate speech laws.
Save Europe says
Actually, no (again). The number of people in the UK who are sick to the back teeth with Islam is easily 50 percent. Yes, the other 50 are virtue signalling, exceptionally vociferous Leftards – the other problem is our increasing lack of freedom of speech here.
Save Europe says
No. It’s a well known fact here in the UK that Saudi and Qatar have invested heavily in so many prominent UK Universities. Similarly, the Sorbonne in France – incredibly high investment by Qatar.
Wellington says
Were he a Christian, everything else the same, he’d be out on his ass by now by the hypocrites who are running Oxford (if indeed he would have been hired in the first place if a professed Christian).
All religions are created equal except that one religion which is more equal than others. Yes, a true victim, the only religion that gets to use the word “phobia” after its name. Hey, let’s face it, Buddhismophobia, Judaismophobia, Chirstianityophobia, et al. ain’t in the vernacular vocabulary yet, now are they? But then none of these have over 32,000 documented terrorist attacks done in their name just since 9/11. In fact, they effectively have 0 such attacks.
Hmmm. Think engaging in terrorism and claiming victim status are related? And with being able to use that suffix, “phobia,” no less? Oh yeah. Count on it.
The madness continues unabated.
gravenimage says
All true, Wellington. If he were an Atheist or Agnostic, he’d be on sabbatical until the charges were investigated, as well.
Only a Muslim would be allowed to continue to teach.
mortimer says
Agree. This is an unacceptable DOUBLE STANDARD. It is usual for a man charged with a rape charge to be suspended pending the trial.
In some cases, the accused have even been suspended WITHOUT PAY until the trial.
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer. Certainly, no non-Muslim would be allowed to continue to teach while such charges were outstanding.
Jack Diamond says
Four students have come forward now accusing him of seducing them, one was 15. Ramadan says it’s part of a Zionist plot to destroy his name.
“The latest revelations suggest that Mr Ramadan may have been abusing women, including underage girls, long before the recent cases in France.”
https://www.thenational.ae/world/europe/tariq-ramadan-accused-of-seducing-his-teenage-students-1.673066
Beside the rape accusations, will an obvious predator be allowed continued access to students? Your move, Oxford.
D J says
Small point: those 32000 are only the ones which resulted in fatalities.
Wellington says
Indeed. As I have many times noted the 32,000 figure also doesn’t include the many tens upon tens of thousands of INTENDED Islamic terrorist attacks that were thwarted by various security agencies across the globe.
gravenimage says
True, D J–this does not count foiled and failed attempts. And many of these almost 32,000 Jihad terror attacks resulted in multiple fatalities.
So it is even worse than this terrible figure implies.
Karen says
“Were he a Christian, everything else the same, he’d be out on his ass by now by the hypocrites who are running Oxford.”
Yes. No one would be talking about “protecting” the students who trust and believe in him, and preventing an unseemly “ganging up” effect by applying the law to a vicious, serious crime. Identity politics wouldn’t be creating competing victims.
Oxford is saying that feelings trump serious crime; that is dangerous to both the victims of crime and rational thought.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
It has to be said: Oxford, since the nineteenth century, has be home to a long line of Mohammadin apologists. It has always been a home to those who enthusiastically and uncritically translated (from the Arabic) and promoted Salafist propaganda, and falsely eulogized Mohammadin tyrants and war criminals.
It does not surprise me that this institution would harbour and protect this Mohammadin accused of serial rape.

Grimly true–but I doubt even they would have been this bad until just the past few years.

Always interesting to hear these school administrators speak to young adults. They have there own ‘speak”, the way they attempt to guide and shape.

Under Shari’ah law, Infidels are not allowed to say anything negative about any Muslim.
Is this what Eugene Rogan is demanding here?
More:
We must protect Muslim students who believe and trust in him, and protect that trust.”

This either means that Muslims should be “protected” from hearing anything negative about another Muslim, or–*even worse*–that they accept rape and must be “protected” from any prosecution for it.
Jack Holan says
He displays the meaning of Muslim Intellectual.

The head of the Middle East Centre is a “filthy Infidel”. No doubt Eugene Rogan is especially intent on dhimmitude as a result…

“Eugene Rogan would ordinarily be a shoo-in for the Islamopanderer of the Year award, but this year he has such stiff competition that his victory is by no means assured.”
Being a prolific rapist does rank quite low on this year’s list of Muhammed imitators. The statements from Oxford faculty are spellbinding. Really getting to the point of being beyond words. Have been very hesitant to say this even since 9/11, but it is increasingly looking like a war.

Perhaps in some ways he was no fool. But clearly in others he was a total fool. Otherwise there is no way to explain how he lead Germany and Europe into almost total destruction, how he brought tens of millions of deaths to Europe, why he thought physical factors mattered more than culture and the individual. Genius can easily be combined with stupidity and foolishness, and often is.

we need to be careful here: innocent until found guilty by a civilsed court. If he gets acquitted (fairly or not) we anti-jihadist can be accused of failing to stick to basic civilised principles. And that would hurt our course because we then can be disregarded as the undemocratic fringe. It really doesn’t matter how much we hate Ramadan and his MB enablers, we need to be true to our values. He is certainly a stealth jihadi, but we cannot be sure that he is a rapist.

Richard, you are right about innocent until proven guilty–but in the case of such charges, almost all companies and institutions would put someone so accused on paid leave–this is especially true when he comes into contact with students, whom the university is supposed to protect.
mortimer says
SUSPENSION FOLLOWING A RAPE CHARGE IS NORMATIVE.
Just look it up and you will find that when a man is charged with rape, SUSPENSION occurs almost IMMEDIATELY. Police, sportsmen, soldiers, sailors, teachers and even students are normally SUSPENDED.
WHY DID OXFORD NOT SUSPEND RAMADAN UNTIL THE CHARGES ARE CLEARED? Any other prof would have been suspended.
Badger says
The monster Tariq Ramadan is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna so he is a VIP in the islamic hierarchy.
In other words, he is untouchable.
Oxford University has been seriously compromised by accepting millions of pounds from islamic sources to set up islamic study programmes. Their apparent helplessness and reluctance to take appropriate action in this case is the result of their dependence on muslim money.
The British security services MUST be aware of the creeping islamisation that Saudi and Quatari and other moneys is funding in mosque building, university grants and the creation of radical NGOs. And yet they do nothing.
Only a clean sweep can purge the camel dung from our institutions’ stables.
Karen says
“In other words, he is untouchable.”
Yes, he’s the equivalent of a Kennedy or Clinton. Circle the wagons, nothing must touch him.
And, your point about the incessant money grubbing of all the great Western universities is very important. The Saud family funds institutes of ‘understanding’ at many major universities, essentially buying faculty that are sure to transmit uncritical thought to their students. The Chinese have noticed this and are starting to do the same.

It doesn’t matter much, but a good friend who holds that qualification M.A. (Oxon) tells me he did not have to ‘stay around the place for an extra year’ but merely went elsewhere for several years and then sent in fifteen quid (pounds sterling). When criticised for this empty ritual, Oxon authorities responded “we invented master’s degrees before anyone else, and we therefore hold the right to define the term”.
Karen says
There is a circle of protection around Ramadan at the moment. But as several people in Hollywood are finding out that protection can disappear in an instant. So, the day is still young. Mr. Ramadan’s protectors may eventually find he is just too much trouble.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Don’t forget his Oxford chair was bought with Saudi oil money – they’re scared that when they suspend him, their paychecks get suspended at the same time.
They seem quite comfortable concerning when he rapes his muslima students, as long as the money keeps rolling in.
Andrew Clarke says
It seems obvious, but we still have to remember that people are only guilty at law once proven guilty. I despise the way members of minorities are given extra rights relative to the rest of us, the way some people are excused what others are not because of the identity politics things. But there is a need for accusations to be proven, otherwise no one is safe.
dumbledoresarmy says
This whole affaire is fascinating.
personally I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it turns out that ALL of the accusations are true, in spades, and then some!
After all: Islam is a sex-and-death cult. At the core of Islam is a victor-and-vanquished zero-sum-game mentality. Domination and submission. The power trip. Translate that into the sphere of personal and sexual relations, and you get.. a normalisation and sacralisation of rape.
Mohammed, the founder of Islam, the man whose every deed and word is regarded as setting the standard for mohammedan behaviour always and everywhere, was… a serial rapist who kept sex slaves, and who with his ‘companions’ seized women and girls and sold them as slaves.. as sex slaves. mohammed raped a woman whose husband he had murdered. Mohammed raped Rayhana, whose community his banditti had attacked and destroyed.
So slithery smarmy besuited Frere Tariq, the master of doublespeak, and sexual predator extraordinaire, is merely emulating the sunnah of the ‘prophet’….
Charlie Hebdo have pounced upon this latest episode in the career of Frere Tariq: he features – sporting an *enormous* phallus – on the cover of one of their latest issues, accompanied by a lethally satirical caption about “the sixth pillar of Islam”.
Wouldn’t it be excellent if – like al Capone getting his comeuppance for tax evasion – Frere Tariq – Muslim Brotherhood operative and propagandist for Islam – got *his* for rape?
