In defense of his brother Tariq, Hani Ramadan cites Islamic law: Rape needs 4 male witnesses

The saga of Tariq Ramadan continues, as more revelations come out about this monstrous human being, for so long the privileged paladin of Islam in Europe. It turns out that what will likely bring him down is not his stout defense, over decades, of both his grandfather, Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and of the Brotherhood itself. Nor will it be his years of well-practiced taqiyya on behalf of Islam, lecturing here, debating there, all for the sake of Islam and its relentlessly increasing threat to the well–being of Unbelievers, coming back to bite him. No, it is something more banal. Professor Tariq Ramadan turns out to have been a sexual monster. Behind that impassive mask of the thoughtful, soft-spoken, well-mannered academic was someone quite different. One of his rape victims described him as being “transformed before my very eyes into a vile, vulgar, aggressive being –physically and verbally…when I cried to him to stop, he insulted and humiliated me. He slapped me and attacked me. I saw in his crazy eyes that he was longer master of himself. I was afraid he would kill me…I started crying uncontrollably. He mocked me. ..He choked me hard that I thought I was going to die.”
Another of his rape victims, who has a disability in her legs, described Ramadan as subjecting her “to a terrifying and violent sexual assault.”
Still another described how he “sexually harassed her and blackmailed her for sexual favors.”
A fourth said in her own relationship with Ramadan she was “scared for her life”: “He can be very, very violent, grabbing you very violently, expecting from you any sexual practice and demanding it aggressively enough.”
More below the fold.
Tariq Ramadan’s brother, Hani Ramadan, is not wrong. Under sharia (Islamic law), rape victims must have the testimony of four male witnesses (as if.…). Remember that when feminists in this country insist that Islam empowers women.
