French Court Refuses to Drop Rape Charge Against Tariq Ramadan

Hat tip Campus Watch

Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss-born philosopher, Oxford professor, and grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, sits in a French prison awaiting trial on charges he raped two women in France. His case has drawn international attention because he is a prominent Muslim activist. In recent years, Ramadan drew worldwide attention when he called for a moratorium on the Islamic practice of stoning people to death for adultery, claiming that it was not being applied evenly. In 2012, I met Ramadan briefly during a break in an event at which he was speaking at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. I asked him why he didn’t call for a complete abolition of stioning. His reply can be found here.

Ramadan’s request for a dismissal of charges involving one victim has been denied. Charges pertaining to a third woman who claimed Ramadan raped her have already been dropped.

Just a thought: While Ramadan denies all charges against him, could there be any link between his reported life style and his call for a moratorium on stoning?

Just wondering.
