This is my take on Tariq Ramadan. –

i) Tariq Ramadan Goes All Relativist
ii) Tariq Ramadan Embraces Only Certain Examples of Diversity

Ramadan Goes Relativist and Embraces Certain Cases of Diversity

Ramadan states his own version of relativism. He has drunk deep of post-modern theory, post-structuralist philosophy and whatnot, just as Anjem Choudary of Islam4UK and Hizb ut-Tahrir use the languages of human rights, international law and even political correctness.

Ramadan’s idea is that what is seen as moderate (as in ‘moderate Muslim/Islam’) is a relative matter. We can only decide what is moderate by taking into consideration ‘our histories, cultures and reference points’(2010). The point is that these things ‘are not identical’ from culture to culture. No. All we can do to discover what is taken as moderate in a particular culture and then study it ‘from within each system of reference’. In consequence, ‘[i]t cannot be imposed from outside’ (2010). … word limit – see website

Ramadan is well known for telling his infidel audience something and his Muslim audience another thing.
as far as I'm concerned ALL muslims are inveterate liars so I don't believe ANY of them. their "holy" book tells them to lie to further their aim of world domination

Tarek Ramadan visited the Islamic Centre in Bilelefeld, Germany (May 21, 2008) and gave a speech. Before he began his speech, he asked if there were any journalists in audience. As the answer was negative, he said, “OK, now I feel free to say what I really want.” Ramadan is well known for telling his infidel audience something and his Muslim audience another thing.
Ramadan said, “My brothers and sisters, we must exploit the so-called democracy and freedom of speech here in the West to reach our goals. Our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and the Koran teach us that we must use every conceivable means and opportunity to defeat the enemies of Allah. Tell the infidels in public, we respect your laws and your constitutions, which we Muslims believe that these are as worthless as the paper they are written on. The only law we must respect and apply is the Sharia.”

Surpised? Why?

Isn’t it true, according to the Obama administration, that we are not at war with Islam which means those who espouse its tenets of killing all infidels pose no threat?

Aren’t the U.S. citizen college and university professors already teaching hate?

Perception is interesting. Hillary has always represented a threat to the United States.

When our elected officials are so arrogant when using the power given them by the voters that they thumb their noses at reason, it is time to get rid of them.

Tariq Ramadan is a cultural jihadist of high and deadly order whose urbanity will no doubt be as successful in the US in helping him to seduce academia and its sociopolitical cohorts with his slippery and obfuscating concepts as it has already been in the UK.
One would expect Obama to welcome him with open and in due course, honoring arms.
