Brother Tariq : The Doublespeak of Tariq Ramadan

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. The Name Of Tariq Ramadan Is Well Known In The West. In This Study Of The Man, The French Writer And Journalist Caroline Fourest Dissects The Public Pronouncements Of Tariq Ramadan. Drawing On His Numerous Books, Articles And Tapes As Sources, She Demonstrates With Chilling Clarity That The West Has Been Beguiled By Ramadan's Smooth Talk, By His Doublespeak. Tariq Ramadan Is Slippery. He Says One Thing To His Faithful Islamist Followers And Something Else Entirely To His Western Audience. His Choice Of Words, The Formulations He Uses - Even His Tone Of Voice - Vary, Chameleon-like, According To His Audience. Caroline Fourest Does Us An Incalculable Service. In This English Translation Of Brother Tariq She Proves, Once And For All, That Tariq Ramadan Is Not To Be Trusted. Tariq Ramadan Has Been Portrayed As The Martin Luther King Of Islam. This Study Reveals That He Is A Far More Sinister Character At The Forefront Of A Militant And Reactionary Islam.--jacket.
