Tariq Ramadan

Tariq Ramadan (born 26 August 1962)) is a Swiss Islamic academic, philosopher, and writer. An appeals court in Geneva, Switzerland convicted him of rape in late August 2024. He also faces charges in France, Quotes The U.S. government's actions in my case seem, at least to me, to have been arbitrary and myopic. But I am encouraged by the unwavering support I have received from ordinary Americans, civic groups and particularly from scholars, academic organizations, and the ACLU. I am heartened by the emerging debate in the U.S. about what has been happening to our countries and ideals in the past six years. And I am hopeful that eventually I will be allowed to enter the country so that I may contribute to the debate and be enriched by dialogue.
