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

France: Court rejects “Muslim Martin Luther” Tariq Ramadan’s request that rape charges against him be dropped

Mar 14, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

One of Ramadan’s accusers says he told her he was raping her “because you don’t wear a hijab.”

“French court rejects request to drop rape charges against Islamic scholar Ramadan,” AFP, March 14, 2019:

The Paris Court of Appeals on Thursday rejected Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan’s request that two rape charges against him be dropped.

The 56-year-old Swiss academic spent nine months in custody last year on the allegations before winning conditional release in November….

Ramadan denies charges that he raped two women in French hotel rooms, the first in Lyon in 2009 and the second in Paris in 2012. One accuser is a disabled woman identified in media reports as “Christelle” and the other is a feminist activist, Henda Ayari. After initially denying physical contact with his accusers, the scholar admitted to having consensual sex with both women….

    What ridiculousness is this? It’s ok, according to this “scholar”, to rape a woman who doesn’t wear a hijab? Disgusting. Unacceptable. A perfect example of Sharia law hurting women, if he truly believes that and Islam truly teaches that.

        AP is correct: Islam teaches that rape is a DECREE from Allah himself. Rape is TORTURE and HUMILIATION of the kafirs that are parts of jihad.

        Rape is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. There is NO punishment in Sharia law for a Muslim who RAPES a kafirs.

        “Any woman not wearing a headscarf is asking to be raped”
        Imam Shahid Mehdi, Denmark.
        The imam was later arrested for indecent exposure to a woman in a park.

        Sheikh Saad al Beraik

    If there was a #MeToo for Muslim women, and they were guaranteed anonymity, Muslim women would still under report rape. That’s because they all share the same “secret” name and personality, Shariah. Shariah is the Muslima who not only knows, but appreciates her restrictions and marching orders. She may also be the Muslima who sees through it all but has to pretend it means something just to avoid “correction” from the men and women who enjoy defending the final faith.

    In the eyes of Western virtue signallers, multiculturalists and dhimmis in general, Tariq Ramadan has fallen. Their silence on the matter says it all. Muslim talking heads, though, have a lot more riding on Ramadan. They are not silent, far from it. And what about the “1.6 billion Muslims”? In their eyes, has Tariq Ramadan fallen? Not on your life. It’s all a conspiracy. This is how “they” treat a Muslim.

    It is amusing to read opinion pieces questioning whether Ramadan will get justice. This from people who want to impose on the world the kind of “justice” that lays down markedly different punishments for the same crime depending on whether the defendant is Muslim or non-Muslim, that instructs leniency towards Muslims and harshness towards infidels, that denies an infidel accused the right to defend his or herself, that demands a (Muslim) woman accusing a (Muslim) man of rape to produce four male eye-witnesses to the act, that punishes a rape victim for adultery (there’s no rape within marriage, of course), that holds that parents killing their own children are not to be questioned about it, that a man beating his wife is not to be questioned about it, etc., etc., THESE people question whether Ramadan will receive justice. In their eyes, he’s *already* being denied justice. “Justice” means that no charges should have been brought against him in the first place. Were there four male witnesses at the scenes of each of these rapes? No! Was the Muslim woman wearing a hijab? No! Then what is all this? They’re going for him “because he is a Muslim”.

    In our eyes, Tariq Ramadan may be a vile, despicable individual. In Muslim eyes, he’s a very good man who’s being deliberately humiliated. Not all Muslims, of course…

      Agree with AP. Muslims see Tariq Ramadan as a pious Muslims raping kafir women and apostates who have Allah’s punishment coming to them. Some of his victims were pious Muslim women too … but they attended his hotel room and apartment unchaperoned so it was all the fault of the women.

      Rapes are mostly unpunished in Muslim countries because Sharia law shields the perpetrators.

    And, of course, any modernizing Musim would not be comparable to Luther. AlQuaeda, ISIS, et al, with their return to origins, are like the Reformers. Recall that Luther was appalled by the Renaissance and despised the Scholastics.

    I wonder what would have happened if Mohamed was alive today and tried in a Paris Court .Piss be upon him!

    • mortimer says

      Mar 15, 2019 at 12:08 am

      Agree with Peter. Mohammed should be tried in a moot court for his crimes, but the participants in the trial would have to be ready to live the rest of their lives under armed protection and in seclusion.

      Love that:
      “Piss Be Upon Him”

      Hilarious! And oh so true!

      Also, does it seems we get “PooBUH” from this same phrase?
