Muhammad
That’s really thoughtful of the media, they really must go to a lot of trouble to trash him, do they have secret meetings? Anyway, Tariq does have a pretty decent following in the European Muslim community.

Yes, Tariq Ramadan, like Irshad Manji, is taken much more seriously by the Western media and neocon bloggers than he is by the Western Muslim community.

I’ve heard it said that the media that trash him do it just so he will have credibility with the Muslims. It’s a conspiracy to boost his reformist message.

JDsg, I’m not really worried about any of it. My point was, there isn’t blanket support of Tariq Ramadan from non Muslims, nor is he a media darling. He’s been trashed in the US and Australian media many times.

And a further comment to Muhammad, I hardly think the lack of a following in the Muslim community says much about Tariq Ramadan. He’s an academic anyway. His books aren’t really sold a Big W. At least I don’t think they are. If they are, I’ve never noticed. Come to think of it, I might have to call head office and launch a complaint.

Well, I wouldn’t worry too much about the book being sold by Encounter Books (Brother Tariq); they also have one of Robert Spencer’s books for sale, and the founding publisher has written a number of books with David Horowitz. “Not-so-serious books for wingnut readers.”

He’s famous just because the non muslims call him Martin Luther and say he’s really great. He’s a product of their imagination really.

Actually, a lot of non Muslims say he’s not so great at all really.
