Islam Hates Girls and Women > Tariq Ramadam, Oxford Professor, intellectual, violent rapist

 

Tariq Ramadan accuser: ‘When I cried to him to stop,

he slapped me and attacked me.

I was afraid he would kill me.’

The once-respected Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan has been convicted of rape. Here is more about the four women who have so far come forward in Paris with their charges against Ramadan. The women in Paris who have publicly charged Ramadan with extreme violence and rape are all Muslims. Far from being “Europeans” who chose to “gang up against a prominent Muslim intellectual,” which is what Ramadan has claimed, there was no “gang-up.” The women came forward, obviously with palpable fear, and only dared to do so years after the sexual violence and rapes took place. For they had been frightened by the threats Ramadan made, that “if they dared say anything” about what he had done, harm could come to them. He threatened to blackmail one victim with compromising photos he possessed. For another victim, Henda Ayari, he made physical threats not just to her but, even more terrifying, threatened to harm her children. The wanton violence he inflicted on them gave them every reason to believe that he would carry out such threats.

Henda Ayari was the first to break through her own carapace of fear, and then the other women followed. Indeed, she first she described in detail Tariq Ramadan’s behavior, a man whom she had so admired, once she was alone with him in his hotel room, in her book I Chose To Be Free. But in the book, she called him by the alias “Zoubeyr”:

“This man, Zoubeyr, transformed before my very eyes into a vile, vulgar, aggressive being – physically and verbally,” she wrote. “For modesty, I will not give the precise details here of the acts he made me submit to. But it is enough that he took great advantage of my weakness and the admiration I felt for him. ”

“He allowed himself gestures, attitudes and words that I could never have imagined.”

“And when I resisted,” she writes, “when I cried to him to stop, he insulted and humiliated me. He slapped me and attacked me. I saw in his crazy eyes that he was no longer master of himself. I was afraid he would kill me. I was completely lost. I started crying uncontrollably. He mocked me.”

These statements, and others from Henda Ayari, described his violence: “He choked me so hard that I thought I was going to die.” She also described him as threatening that her children might be harmed if she were tell anyone.

His other victims also described Ramadan as violent and threatening.

Oxford Scholar Faces Third Sexual Assault Accusation

by Noor Nanji, The National, October 30, 2017:

…The latest woman told Le Parisien in an interview on Saturday that Mr Ramadan, who is professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University and is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Hassan Al Banna, sexually harassed her in 2014.

The woman, identified as Yasmina, said Mr Ramadan blackmailed her for sexual favours, threatening to distribute “compromising pictures” of her….

Mr Ramadan is also accused of raping another woman in a hotel room in 2009. The unnamed 42-year-old, who is reported to have disability in her legs, said on Friday that the professor had subjected her to a terrifying and violent sexual assault. She has filed a formal complaint against him, in which she describes her battle with depression and her attempt to commit suicide following the attack.

A previous report, now scrubbed from the Internet, had this:

There is still a fourth woman, a Belgian known as Sarah, who is apparently thinking of filing a complaint, according to the RTBF radio network. In a testimony about her relationship with Mr Ramadan, she said she was scared for her life. “He can be very, very violent, grabbing you very violently, expecting from you any sexual practice and demanding it aggressively enough, and then it comes down again, but these moments are very difficult to live.”

The same extreme physical violence, including grabbing and choking, the same threats, the same aggressive and humiliating sexual demands, including rape — his modus operandi with these women — appears to have always been the same.

The same hatred for women!

A total of eight women have now come forward in Paris and Geneva, enduring various degrees of publicity, but how many, in both cities, will never come forward, out of shame, disgust, horror, a desire not to reveal such humiliating events to a husband or children? Yet there is always the possibility that more women, in Geneva, in Paris, and possibly in Oxford itself (surely he would have taken advantage of his students there, if he thought he could get away with it), will step forward. A permanent sword of Damocles hangs over the head of the once seemingly invulnerable Tariq Ramadan. No one deserves it more.

And now he has been convicted of raping one woman in Geneva. He may find in the future that the women, once underage girls whom he taught in Geneva, and who have accused him of extreme violence and rape, will finally bring charges against him in a court of law. But right now, his immediate legal challenge is in Paris, where he stands accused of sexual violence and repeatedly raping three women.

According to Simon Kent, Breitbart, July 22, 2018:

He was banned from entering the United States by the George W. Bush administration in 2004 after it was alleged he donated to the Association de Secours Palestinien (ASP/Palestinian Relief Organisation) from 1998 to 2002. The U.S. government considered the ASP a group that funded terrorism by giving some of their donations to the anti-Israel terrorist organisation Hamas which is proscribed in the U.S.

Ramadan’s U.S. travel ban was later lifted by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2010 during the Obama administration.
