“Tariq Ramadan Says Don’t Worry About Muslim Brotherhood Coming To Power”
July 19, 2011

SNIPPET: “Canadian media is reporting on comments made by Tariq Ramadan in which he attempted to reassure the West about the potential for the Muslim Brotherhood coming to power in Egypt and Tunisia.”

SNIPPET: “Tariq Ramadan is perhaps best described as an independent power center within the global Brotherhood with sufficient stature as the son of Said Ramadan, and the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood to challenge positions taken by important Brotherhood leaders. His statements and writings have been extensively analyzed and he has been accused by critics of promoting anti-Semitism and fundamentalism, albeit by subtle means.”

SNIPPET: “Previous posts discussed his dismissal from his positions as an adviser on integration for the city of Rotterdam and from a Dutch University over his role as a talk show host on Iranian TV.”

SNIPPET: “A ban on Ramadan traveling to the US was lifted in January 2010 and several posts have discussed his recent visits to the US where he appeared at various US Muslim Brotherhood venues including giving the keynote at the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)-Chicago annual banquet in April 2010. He was scheduled to give the keynote address at the 16th annual CAIR banquet in October.”
