A selection of sources elaborating on pro-secular viewpoints of Tariq Ramadan


Article:

Reading Tariq Ramadan: Political liberalism, Islam and overlapping consensus

http://www.cceia.org/resources /journal/21_4/essays/001.html


Quotes:

There are secular and progressive Muslim currents, so why offer Tariq Ramadan the status of a representative of Islam and of European Muslims? Tariq Ramadan calls himself secular, but he defines secularism as a neutral space which should welcome all faiths and cults. That is also the definition of Christine Boutin [a prominent politician of Frances governing right wing].

"The rule of law, equal citizenship, universal suffrage, the accountability of elected leaders before the people who elected them, and the separation of church and state."

This video seeks to set straight the misconception that Allah and the God of Jesus and moses are two separate Gods. The video starts out by answering the allegation that Allah is a pagan God of the arabs. The video dicusses the semitic roots of the Arabs and Jews.

A debate between Abdullah al Andalusi and Jay Smith in hyde park. Jay Smith makes irresponible and disingenuous claims about Muslims 'not wanting to debate verses of the Quran in public', so we issue a challenge to a hold a high profile moderated debate between us and Jay. Unfortunately, Jay Smith only wants to debate at Speaker's corner, so watch the video to see how well he held up in his critique of the Quran.

Despite Jay Smith's claims, there is an Incitement to Religious hatred law in England, please check out the governmental statute website:
