Sun-Times: We have little to fear but ignorance

April 19, 2010

Chicago Tribune: Ahmed Rehab: Tariq Ramadan 'controversial' message

April 16, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, In the Media

The controversy surrounding Tariq Ramadan is based on hype spurned by the usual detractors for whom every significant Muslim voice is a foreign fifth column, feigning moderation, and secretly plotting to destroy Western civilization.

Chicago Tribune: Chicago welcomes once-banned Muslim scholar

“We are all about reconciling Islam and the West,” Rehab said. “We challenge those who attempt to drive a wedge between Muslim and being American. That’s really the life cause of Tariq Ramadan as an academic and philosopher and media personality. He often says that he’s culturally Western, nationally Swiss, ethnically Egyptian and religiously Muslim. For him and for us as well, there is no inherent schism between being Muslim and being American.”
