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

Pressured by Public Opinion, Geneva Opens An Investigation of Tariq Ramadan

Mar 22, 2018 3:32 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

“Geneva launches Ramadan school probe,” SwissInfo, March 21, 2018:

Canton Geneva authorities have called in two experts to conduct an external investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct alleged to have been perpetrated by Swiss academic Tariq Ramadan against pupils he taught in local schools.

The role of the canton’s education department in the affair will also be probed following allegations that some students had raised the alarm between 1984 and 2004 when the Islamic scholar taught in the area.

Ramadan is currently in prison in Paris facing three accusations of rape. In November a Swiss newspaper reported allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct by four unnamed Swiss women. He denies the allegations and is currently on leave of absence from Oxford University.

The Geneva investigation has been launched in the wake of mounting public pressure for answers. Earlier this month, a letter signed by some well-known figures in the French-speaking part of Switzerland was sent to the cantonal authorities demanding that action be taken.

The education department said it could not launch an internal inquiry as Ramadan no longer held a post in Geneva. [!] A preliminary report from the newly formed external inquiry is expected towards the end of this year.

The two investigators are being granted access to all relevant documents relating to the case, while current and former education department employees would be released from confidentiality obligations, the authorities said.

Here are a few questions for the Canton of Geneva:

1) Why did it take a public outcry by “well-known figures in the French-speaking part of Switzerland” to get the Canton of Geneva to open an investigation into Tariq Ramadan’s sexual behavior with four girls he taught in a Swiss high school?

2) If it is true that “students [high school students of Tariq Ramadan] had raised the alarm between 1984 and 2004 when the Islamic scholar taught in the area,” how could twenty years of such alarm-raising continue without any internal investigation?

3) What were these “confidentiality obligations” concerning Ramadan that education department employees in the Canton of Geneva are to be released from only now?

4) Why does the Canton of Geneva estimate it will take until the end of the year, 2018, for this external investigation to be complete — that is, not for another 9 1/2  months?

5) Is there any evidence of pressure being brought to bear to delay (so that the statute of limitations would apply), or even to prevent,  an investigation into Tariq Ramadan by the Canton of Geneva? In particular, has there been any pressure from any Islamic group, especially one associated with the Gulf Arabs who now own so many high-end properties in Geneva, Montreux, Lausanne, Vevey?

    He should be found guilty unless he can produce 4 female witnesses (for each alleged rape) to
    testify that they were present and that he committed no rapes.
    Then he should be sentenced to be stoned to death by his victims.

      Classic. Remember to tell them to use small stones. That’s Islamic Law talking, makes the experience last longer.

      EXACTLY, garbut. Islamic law requires this HYPOCRITE to be STONED TO DEATH. The courts of France will surely find this RAPIST guilty, but unfortunately, they may NOT extradite him to Egypt where the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD would be FORCED TO DEMAND HIS DEATH BY STONING.

      It is a pity that these Muslim HYPOCRITES cannot be sent BACK to their homelands.

      CIVILIZED countries require the home countries to GUARANTEE that the perpetrators will NOT be killed.

      TARIQ RAMADAN raped and sadistically battered MUSLIM WOMEN and under Sharia law, he MUST BE EXECUTED… however, as we know, FOUR MEN or EIGHT WOMEN did not witness his many RAPES.

    They’re ganging up on Tariq! What could be better, bad legal tidings for a pseudo-intellectual Moslem sex freak. May he drop a bar of soap in the shower of whatever prison he comes to inhabit. Don’t you pick it up Tariq, but we know you will, you’re such a sex freak. Typical Moslem; now even the pseudo-intellectual part is seems to be normal. Too many universities, not enough safe spaces.

    Off Topic but wonderful news for the Counter-jihad. McMaster replaced by Bolton.

      You beat me, Terry Gain, by two minutes, and I congratulate you. Wonderful news indeed.

    Off topic and just in: Bolton to replace McMaster as National Security Adviser. This is great news. A plug for freedom no doubt.

    “… Why did it take a public outcry by “well-known figures in the French-speaking part of Switzerland” to get the Canton of Geneva to open an investigation into Tariq Ramadan’s sexual behavior with four girls he taught in a Swiss high school?..”

    Because, just like the British local authorities inaction in the face of rape gangs activities, these local Swiss authorities found the going much more agreeable if they just sat on their hands and did nothing. Children are less vocal and articulate than the likes of Tarik Ramadan and his entourage, and so the young ones get the least priority and attention and are left to grow up with their scars. As in the U.K. the lesson to draw from this is that Government Authorities are weak and wholly unreliable regarding the protection of children in their care and that when political pressure comes to bear the interests of children are invariably sacrificed.

    Trust me, Swiss Law Enforcement is a joke.

      It will be assumed that you are a concerned citizen who has noticed a lack of police diligence, and not, instead, a career criminal passing on advice.
