South Asia Terrorism Portal, September 4, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Following the recent implementation of the Taliban’s new law on the propagation of virtue and prevention of vice, officials from the Taliban Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (MPVPV) severely assaulted two women for visiting the city market in Sar-e-Pul Province on September 2…
‘Muslim Martin Luther’ Tariq Ramadan
convicted of rape
He was the darling of the leftist intelligentsia. They neither knew nor cared about what his Muslim Brotherhood connections demonstrated. And now he has shown that he takes the Qur’an’s permission to rape infidel women (see 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50 and 70:30) seriously, and no doubt all the rest of the Qur’an and Sunnah as well, even while he was being celebrated as the Great Moderate Hope.
Tariq Ramadan, disgraced former star of European Islam
AFP, September 10, 2024:
Paris (AFP) – Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, convicted on appeal of rape and sexual coercion by a Geneva court, is a Swiss intellectual accused of masking violence and radicalism behind a mild facade.
Ramadan, 62, is the grandson of the founder of the Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and wrote his doctoral thesis on his ancestor.
He basked in the public spotlight in the 2000s as a professor at Britain’s prestigious Oxford university, lecturing across Europe as well as Morocco, Qatar and Japan, drawing crowds of students wherever he went.
Named by Time Magazine in 2004 among the 100 most influential people in the world for his influence on European Muslims, Ramadan has nevertheless stirred controversy throughout his career.
He has rejected allegations of anti-Semitism as attempts to silence what he sees as legitimate criticism of the Israeli state.
And French defenders of the country’s fierce secularism have accused him of smuggling an identitarian subtext within his modernising message, encouraging young girls to wear the Islamic headscarf or spreading religious fundamentalism.
Well turned-out with trademark trimmed grey hair and beard, Ramadan engaged in verbal jousts with opponents including French polemicist Eric Zemmour, who went on to stand as a far-right presidential candidate in 2022.
He fought back against allegations of fundamentalism, saying he encouraged young Muslims to involve themselves in their societies, calling the headscarf a matter of personal choice, urging “contextualisation” of Islam’s founding texts and condemning violence.
Nevertheless, his attempt to acquire French nationality in addition to his Swiss passport to “provide a concrete, positive example of upholding the values of the Republic” was rejected in 2016 by the then prime minister Manuel Valls.
Court battles in FranceRamadan’s fall from grace began in 2017, when he was first targeted with allegations of sexual violence in France.In total, four women in France ultimately accused him of rapes between 2009 and 2016, while a Swiss woman converted to Islam filed a criminal complaint in 2018 for a rape she said took place in Geneva 10 years before.
The Swiss case is the one in which Ramadan has now been convicted on appeal.
As the allegations broke, he put his 12-year professorship in contemporary Islamic studies at the University of Oxford on hold as support for him haemorrhaged, including from Qatar.
His 2018 admission that he had sex outside his decades of marriage, in which he had four children with a French woman convert, tarnished his image for some religious and community leaders.
Saying he suffers from multiple sclerosis and depression, Ramadan retired early.
Alongside the Swiss case, a Paris appeals court ruled in June this year that Ramadan should be tried for raping three women between 2009 and 2016, a decision his lawyers have challenged.
The scholar spent more than nine months in pre-trial detention in 2018, but was released in November that year….
