Product Description

Tariq Ramadan is a global phenomenon. A Swiss-born Muslim activist, he is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the radical group credited with inspiring modern Islamic radicalism. Ramadan is fluent in English, French and Arabic. In Europe, he is the most quoted and circulated writer on Islam. His writings are a regular feature of major English-speaking newspapers, but his real message is revealed in his speeches to Muslim groups in France, Africa, and the Middle East. Caroline Fourest has carefully transcribed and translated those speeches and shows that Ramdan's ingenious rhetoric is a Trojan horse, fostering the anti-Semitic and anti-Christian values of fundamentalist Islam on its latest battlefield: Western civilization.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant expose, February 10, 2008

By	Seth J. Frantzman (Jerusalem, Israel) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Tariq Ramadan is always shown to be the good face of 'moderate European Islam' and he is trotted out, or rather trots himself out, everytime there is some question about the ability of Europe to swallow and assimilate its millions of Muslim immigrants. A passionate defender of Muslims he pretends that Islamism is but a tiny minority and that Islam and European civilization can go hand in hand. But despite having been born in moderate and tolerant Switzerland he learned none of the nuetrality of that country. Instead as this book shows he speaks with two mouths: one to Europeans and Westerners and another to his fellow Muslims in Arabic

In fact Ramadan is a practitioner of 'Taqieh', the Muslim Shiite idea that is defined as "to hide the truth is the ultimate art of a Moslem" according to Interruptions. This book does the reader of the service of translating what he says in Arabic and showing that it does not jive with what he says in English and what is often quoted in English language media.

A fascinating expose that will surely startle anyone familiar with this influential individual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Goebbels 21st Century, July 9, 2009

By	David B. O'Connor (Boston, Massachusetts 02115) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is something fair and just when a propagandist is taken down. Tariq Ramadan must be taken in the same way as other apologists for Islamic imperialism; Esposito, Eduard Said, Saudi Embassies and Consulates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brother Tariq Undressed., September 18, 2009

By	Vivi Kaja Andersen "Vivi" (Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was needed !

Infidel Europe have to learn about Taqiyya, Kitman and Takfir.

And Ramadan is perfect because he can't open the mouth without using Taqiyya!
