Tariq Ramadan is not a victim

From The American Thinker, an article by Olivier Guitta, a freelance writer specializing in the Middle East and Europe.
.... the real new king of double talk is the Swiss Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan. He became famous (or rather infamous) in the USA because, for the time being, a very wise move of the Department of Homeland Security forbids him entry to our country to start teaching at Notre Dame University. Just a few days ago, he decided to resign from this job because he had not received permission to live and work in the US. .... Mr. Ramadan pretends he is being attacked because of his lineage. It is true that Tariq Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan Al Banna, who founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928. Also, Said Ramadan, Tariq's father, was one of their leaders in the 1950's before being expelled by Egypt's then-ruler Nasser. ....

Ramadan also wants us to believe that he forcefully called on Muslims to condemn the September 11 attacks. Here are the facts: Ramadan said on September 13, "even though we didn't know then exactly who did it -- but we know. They were some Muslims." Then and it gets really interesting: in an interview on September 22, 2001 .... he then asked the question: "who profits from the crime?" and answered that no Arab or Muslim cause would be better off. .... In an interview with French newsmagazine Le Point, Ramadan evoked what he called the "interventions of New York, Bali or Madrid." So, September 11 was not a terrorist attack, it was rather just an "intervention." Of course, nowhere in this interview did Ramadan condemn terrorism.

Ramadan's links to terrorism are multiple: In 1995, in the midst of a series of terrorist attacks in Paris orchestrated by the GIA -- the Algerian Islamist terrorist movement — Jean Louis Debre, French Interior Minister, forbade Ramadan entrance to France because of his links to the Algerian terrorist group.
