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

Lawyer for woman accusing Tariq Ramadan of rape says he “sees enemies everywhere, he is a conspiracy theorist”

Sep 21, 2018 3:19 pm By Robert Spencer

“Ramadan sees enemies everywhere, he is a conspiracy theorist, and my client was able to look him in the eye and tell him that she was not his enemy but his victim.”

No, when Islamic supremacists are accused, they are always the victim, both in their own eyes and in the eyes of the establishment media.

Also, how would “Christelle” have known any of his “mistresses” to find out about the scar on his groin? Crazy. And since when is sadism/masochism described as “feisty”?

“Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan faces rape accuser in court,” AFP, September 19, 2018:

PARIS: Prominent Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan faced one of his rape accusers for more than eight hours in a French court on Tuesday (Sep 18) as he seeks bail after seven months in custody on charges he furiously denies.

Ramadan, a frequent TV commentator, was a professor at Oxford University until he was forced to take leave when the rape allegations surfaced at the height of the “Me Too” movement late last year.

The Swiss citizen, whose grandfather founded Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, was charged in France in February with raping two women in hotels in 2009 and 2012.

Swiss prosecutors have also opened an investigation into allegations that he raped a woman in a Geneva hotel in 2008, local media reported on Sunday.

On Tuesday, he came face-to-face with a disabled woman who accuses him of attacking her in the eastern French city of Lyon in 2009.

She remains anonymous but is known in the media as “Christelle”.

“It was a bitter confrontation” in which “everyone maintained their positions,” her lawyer Eric Morain said.

“Ramadan sees enemies everywhere, he is a conspiracy theorist, and my client was able to look him in the eye and tell him that she was not his enemy but his victim,” Morain said.

“She has carried this pain for 10 years.”

Ramadan’s lawyer Emmanuel Marsigny said his client firmly kept his stance that he had “never had sex with the complainant”.

Ramadan, a 56-year-old married father of four, has dismissed the allegations against him as a smear campaign.

WOMEN ‘SOUGHT RELIGIOUS ADVICE’

Ramadan again sought bail, arguing that being in prison is making it more difficult for him to receive treatment for multiple sclerosis.

In a video posted on Facebook Monday, his son Sami said his father had been “presumed guilty since the start” and that he appeared frail during a recent visit. “He needs assistance and a walking frame to move,” he said in the video.

But judges have ruled that he has adequate care in the prison hospital at Fresnes in the southern Paris suburbs.

Ramadan was initially due to face Christelle at a hearing in mid-July but it was postponed after her lawyers said she was unwell.

At a previous hearing she described a scar on Ramadan’s groin as proof they had a sexual encounter, but his lawyers have argued she could have obtained this detail from one of his former mistresses….

    “…his lawyers have argued she could have obtained this detail from one of his former mistresses….”

    That excuse didn’t fly with Willie’s wanker and Carlos’ endangerment.

    Such a conspiracy! See, see? The victims MAY be contacting each other. Does this mean Holocaust victims who talk to each other erase the Holocaust? The lawyers seem to have Islam-warped logic.

    Uh…,what is a leader in Islam doing with “former mistresses”? I’m looking through my Quran….

    ………………..

    Well, this does not surprise.

    Wherever Muslims are frowned upon for acting like Muslim thugs, they consider themselves to be victims.

      Since I speak and understand French fluently I have seen this man on French TV. First impression was of a snakey oil type man who slid through certain arguments and debates in a sea of political correctness.
      He uses his position in the Islamic world to say one thing to people not of his faith and another completely contradictorily to Muslims.
      He apparently did seduce his victims and like all believers, thinks that women are second class citizens and can be violated without punishment. This pretense of being so fragile in prison is just an excuse to want to be freed. Unfortunately if and when he is freed, he is going to make such a big case out of this with his fellow muslims about his unjustified imprisonment. His father was tied to the Muslim brotherhood. POS.

        +!

        Since I first saw the famous Sarkozy interview in 2003, I have often seen Frere Tariq on French TV, and fully understand why the French refer to him as Le Vipere. Ramadan’s popularity in France has often been exaggerated, along with his popularity among Muslims.

    So exactly how was it that “Christelle” managed to contact one of Ramadan’s mistresses?

    And also of amusing note in the story is Ramadan’s description of his sessions of sadism with a willing victim as “feisty.”

    The Marquis de Sade was a “feisty” fellow.

    Or was something gained, or lost– I’m not quite sure which at this point — in translation?

    He is not being prosecuted for being a muslim. He is being prosecuted for acting like one.

    Muslims are MASTERS at spinning conspiracy theories and are one of the most paranoid. This in itself is another Islamic TRUISM from the annals of the infidel,

    Isn’t it interesting how those virtue-signalling Leftists and feminists who have convinced themselves that islam is such a benign creed,remain silent on this?

    Will the {allegedly soros-funded} Right Wing Watch or the SPLC be saying anything other than accusing those who speak about such typically islamic behavior of being “islamophobic”?

    Right Wing Watch has decided ,like SPLC, that THEY alone know what constitutes “hate speech”.Even to the extent of trying to block financial transactions involving groups that THEY alone decide is a “hate group”:Surely this is illegal.
    {That’s Tortious interference in UK law?Some lawyers might explain it….}

    These groups are attacking Free speech and undermining democracy,hiding behind the mask of Leftist ideology:in fact,if you look at what these virtue-signalling hypocrites are doing,it is positively…Totalitarian.

    Communists and fascists always want to control what people say:the Far Left
    appears to be increasingly anti-freedom and anti-democracy.These virtue-signalling Leftist groups like RWW etc are apparently and allegedly funded by Soros,one of those wealthy “philanthropist” champagne socialists:it seems capitalism is OK for some Lefties.

    Ramadan was the darling of the Leftists.

    Rather pleasant watching the demise of Ramadan, he was the favorite of the BBC and the Oxford Debate TV specials. It’s all turned to custard for him.
