Tariq Ramadan and the Rogue French Spy (Part 1)
The latest news about Tariq Ramadan has to do with a rogue French spy, hired by his supporters, in order to discover the identity of one of Ramadan’s accusers, known only as “Christelle,” in an obvious attempt to threaten her into silence.

One of Tariq Ramadan’s rape accusers files complaint over her identity being revealed by French intelligence agent
“In this case, there have been many pressures and threats on the victims to scare them and silence them.

“Since the start of this case in October 2017, Hani Ramadan, who nevertheless advocates stoning for fornicators, has never stopped defending his brother by taking on, virulently, those who criticize Tariq Ramadan.” This is not hard to understand.

Swiss woman who accused Tariq Ramadan of rape launches slander case against him
“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 […]
Tariq Ramadan raped her with “untold violence”; she said she’d tell cops, he said “You don’t know how powerful I am”
Whether or not he actually raped her, that part is undeniably true. Tariq Ramadan is or was extremely powerful. As a moderate Muslim who told Westerners soothing fictions about how Islam was reforming and perfectly compatible with democracy, he commanded handsome sums to speak and top positions at Western universities. The world was at his […]

Tariq Ramadan, the “towering intellect” and “leading Islamic scholar” whom Time magazine in 2004 called one of the world’s “100 most influential thinkers,” but who has also been charged with multiple rapes involving “extreme sexual violence,” had a brief but characteristically mendacious comment on Mikael Harpon, the Muslim who killed four people – three policemen […]
