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

Swiss woman who accused Tariq Ramadan of rape launches slander case against him

Dec 10, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Ramadan says that the woman initially did not want to bring a case against him – rather she just wanted to ‘criticize his behaviour’, he claims. He goes on to say that pressure and financial incentives from others encouraged her to take the case to the courts. In the new proceedings, however, the woman accuses Ramadan of slander, saying that the accusation that she was pressured or bribed is ‘damaging to her honour.'”

This is an extremely common tactic, and needs to be recognized as such. When jihadis or Islamic supremacists are accused of wrongdoing, they generally blame the victim and/or charge the accuser with being motivated simply by a filthy desire for money. Tariq Ramadan is resorting to both of those claims in this case.

This is also akin to how critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women have been treated: Leftist organizations allied with Islamic supremacist groups publish lavishly funded “reports” on “Islamophobia,” falsely claiming that “Islamophobic” groups and individuals have received immense amounts of money in order to “vilify Islam and Muslims.” It’s ridiculous — who except those with an interest in world religions would give Islam a single thought were it not for jihad terrorism? And telling the truth about jihad terror does not vilify Muslims. But this tactic has worked well. We shall see how well it works for Tariq Ramadan.

“New slander case brought against Tariq Ramadan,” SwissInfo, December 5, 2019:

A Swiss woman who accused the Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan of rape in 2018 has now launched a new legal case against him, this time for slander.

The case centres around Ramadan’s book “Devoir de verité” (“The Responsibility of Truth”), published in September this year, in which the Swiss scholar gives his take on the sex allegations and legal controversies involving him over the past two years.

In one section of the book, public broadcaster RTS reports, Ramadan talks about the incident with the Swiss woman, who he identifies by a pseudonym.

Ramadan says that the woman initially did not want to bring a case against him – rather she just wanted to “criticize his behaviour”, he claims. He goes on to say that pressure and financial incentives from others encouraged her to take the case to the courts.

In the new proceedings, however, the woman accuses Ramadan of slander, saying that the accusation that she was pressured or bribed is “damaging to her honour”.
Legal webs

All this further complicates a legal situation in which the original complaint by the Swiss woman – she accused Ramadan of raping her in a Geneva hotel in 2008 – has still not come to a conclusion.

This is partly due to the fact that Ramadan was in prison in France when the charges were brought in April 2018. It’s also due to the court proceedings launched by Ramadan’s lawyers demanding that the woman not speak publicly about the case (judges rejected the plea)….

    Tariq Ramadan used the old Islamic trick of adding insult to injury and ‘blaming the victim’. How Islamic of him.

    Sharia law allows the rape of dirty kafir women, because it contains no punishment when a Muslim rapes a kafir. Tariq Ramadan knew that and thus felt no guilt.

      This logic beats me: If a pious person wallows in dirt with a dirty person then invariably his piety becomes filthy especially in making a “wife” out of the dirty person who is not your wife . Or the Al Quran prescribes “pocus-pocus” that would make the dirty person momentarily “clean” which we do not know of. So that the pious one can satiate their lust without guilt which is common among their rank and file.

    If the women accusing Muslim apologist Tariq Ramadan of rape wanted money, they would have asked him to get his Muslim Brotherhood bosses to pay them off and they would have done so handsomely.

    The Muslim Brotherhood could have raised a ton of money to hush up the rape victims.

    No doubt, Ramadan is a clear-cut psychopath as most of his fellow male Arab Moslems. It’s the culture and the ideology which causes the supremacist male mozzie syndrome so hard for them to overcome.

    The feature article states:

    “who except those with an interest in world religions would give Islam a single thought were it not for jihad terrorism?”

    100% true…

    It would be great not to have to WASTE a single moment thinking about Islam…

    Unfortunately, we DO NOT have that luxury.

      If only Islam were just a religion, rather than a totalitarian ideology which controls and determines an individual’s whole life and world view, there would be no problem. For that to happen, the supremacist elements of the Qu’an, the hatred of all non-Muslims and the wish to conquer (kill/convert) them all, would have to be expunged from it, together with the strictures on punishment for blasphemy and apostasy. If all these prerequisites were to happen, however, the Qu’ran would be a very short book indeed!

        “If only Islam were just a religion, rather than a totalitarian ideology which controls and determines an individual’s whole life and world view, there would be no problem.”

        100% true – and well stated.

        Thanks for the reply, and best wishes.

    Swiss woman who accused Tariq Ramadan of rape launches slander case against him
    ………………..

    This is “Ghiba”, often mistranslated as “slander”. Under Ghiba, it does not matter if the accusation is true or not–anything is “slander” if it is something a Muslim male does not want to be exposed.

    gravenimage,

    Definition of slander from Merriam-Webster:

    “The utterance of FALSE charges or misrepresentations which defame and damage another’s reputation”

    But as you accurately point out, it does not matter to Muslims males if the accusation is true or not.

    Muslim males erroneously scream “slander” – in order to not be exposed…

      So true, James.

      Here are Muslims openly admitting this:

    He’s been playing his sex games at various Universities throughout Europe! He was at Oxford, England for a short while. There the authorities hushed it up by paying off the female students that he’d assaulted. No dungeon is deep enough, dank enough or dark enough & no sentence long enough for this verminous scum!

    This vile animal should be executed.
