Tariq Ramadan in a confused man
Reader comment on item: Is Tariq Ramadan Lying [about Magdi Allam]?
Submitted by Saleem Akhtar (United States), Mar 28, 2007 at 19:54
I agree with Dr. Pipes. I have come to read about Tariq Ramadan on the internet a little bit. I dont think Tariq Ramadan has any idea of how to reform Islam. Until the Arabs remain in a mideival mindset, it is an impossible task to make it compatible with present day life.
I dont agree with Mark-Alan Whittle though. I think some muslims and western philosophers take Quranic teachings too seriously. But not everyone.
Regards.
