Accused rapist Tariq Ramadan LIED, first claimed he did not know accusers, now claims alleged rapes were consensual

Tariq Ramadan is out on bail now, and the judges are under extraordinary pressure from Muslims worldwide to dismiss all the charges against him. The women who have accused him are extraordinarily courageous. Ramadan counted on their silence because of the subclass status of women under Islam. And he knew he had the power of the Muslim Brotherhood behind him — a ruthless machine that now has sent his first accuser, Henda Ayari, multiple death threats, requiring her to seek police protection.

Tariq Ramadan is a Muslim. He holds the same beliefs and attitudes toward women that the Muslim rape gangs in the UK and the Muslim migrant rapists in Germany and Sweden and elsewhere hold. This is the behavior toward women that Islam inculcates in men. Even a silver-tongued snake such as Ramadan can’t hide his true demeanor forever. His contempt for the West makes him all the more revered by leftist elites. He was an Oxford professor, and even after Ayari came forward, his position was not in jeopardy until an outcry required Oxford to put Ramadan on “leave.”

Ramadan was named by Time magazine as one of the seven religious innovators of the 21st century and as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, and by Foreign Policy readers (2005, 2006, 2008-2010, 2012-2015) as one of the top 100 most influential thinkers in the world and Global Thinkers.

How has the left elite handled these allegations? Largely with silence. So once again we see it: Islam trumps all — women’s rights, gay rights, Jews, Christians…. everything. Just look at how the media has treated jihad Tariq juxtaposed to their treatment of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and the rest.

“Tariq Ramadan admission sparks fresh row over rape claims,” by Angelique Chrisafis, Guardian, October 31, 2018 (thanks to Vikram):

It is the biggest repercussion of the #MeToo movement in France: the influential Swiss-born academic Tariq Ramadan, a professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University, has spent the past nine months on remand in prison after two French women accused him of raping them in hotel rooms in Paris and Lyon.

Ramadan denies rape, the women stand by their allegations, but in recent weeks the case has increasingly played out in the public arena. Supporters of the well-known academic, who has spoken out against restrictions on the Muslim headscarf in France, say the justice system there is biased against him. They say the 56-year-old father of four is the victim of a conspiracy, has not been given due process and should not be on remand in jail, where he is being treated for multiple sclerosis in a hospital wing.

Lawyers for the Muslim women who accuse him insist it is a case of vulnerable women being raped by a powerful man.

Henda Ayari, 41, a former Salafist Muslim who is now a feminist activist, went to police last November and accused Ramadan of rape, sexual violence, harassment and intimidation. She said he raped her in a hotel room in the east of Paris in spring 2012 during a conference where he was speaking. “He choked me so hard that I thought I was going to die,” she told Le Parisien newspaper.

Another woman, known as Christelle, who is a convert to Islam and was left disabled after a car accident, later told police Ramadan raped her in a Lyon hotel room in October 2009 during another conference. Media reports have said her lawsuit describes blows to the face and body, forced sodomy, rape with an object, and being dragged by the hair to the bathtub and urinated on.

A third woman, in Switzerland, has since accused Ramadan of raping her in a Geneva hotel and a formal investigation has been opened.

Ramadan, who has advised successive British governments on Islam and society, denies all charges, saying his accusers are “compulsive liars”. Since February, he has consistently told police and investigators that no sexual encounters took place between him and the women.

But the inquiry took a turn last week when Ramadan changed his story, admitting to investigating judges that he did have sexual relations with the women, but saying they had sought the encounters and fully consented to the “dominant-submissive” relationship.

This change happened after computer experts extracted hundreds of text messages from an old mobile phone belonging to Christelle. Ramadan had earlier said he only met her in a hotel bar. But text messages from him – which have been quoted by lawyers and published in the media – give her instructions to come up to his hotel room. The text messages detailed Ramadan’s sexual fantasies of domination before the alleged attack. A leaked report prepared by computer experts working on the investigation shows he texted her after their encounter saying: “I sensed your unease … apologies for my ‘violence’”.

The texts are now the topic of a public row between the legal teams. Ramadan’s lawyer insists that the messages show Christelle was consenting, that she sent Ramadan many sexual messages and that one of them, sent on an unknown date, stated: “I missed you as soon as I left”.

Christelle’s lawyer, Eric Morain, said the messages were not dated, and that she could explain every message to the investigating judges. He said Christelle had been in contact with Ramadan for a period before the alleged attack.

“For 11 months, Tariq Ramadan has lied, and all that time he was calling the complainants liars and taking the judges to task,” Morain said. “His gamble – and it was a failed gamble – was to think it would be impossible for us to prove our case. His gamble was that my client wouldn’t be believed.”

Asked whether women had deliberately colluded against Ramadan, Morain said: “When a man is accused of rape by several women – even if he isn’t famous – it’s common for the man to claim the women have deliberately got together to damage his reputation. That’s a classic. But when you look at the disruption and devastation to a victim’s life – the police interviews, interrogations, questioning and so on – what would they have to gain from this? It has been 11 months of hell for my client.”

Ramadan’s defence have said they also found text messages sent by Ayari to Ramadan of an explicit sexual nature showing that she was consenting and wanted to have sex with him.

Ayari’s lawyer, Jonas Haddad, said he had submitted all available information on communications between his client and Ramadan at the start of the investigation. “We have nothing to fear. We just want this case to progress to trial.”

Ramadan’s lawyer, Emmanuel Marsigny, said his client was relieved to have told investigating judges that encounters did take place but were consensual.

Asked why Ramadan had not said this from the start, Marsigny said: “Because he wanted to protect his private life, he wanted to protect his family. He had the feeling that, whatever was said, he’d be seen as guilty anyway – he felt as if he’d already been condemned by the media, which was engaged in Ramadan-bashing. By recognising the sexual relationships, he also now has the proof it was all consensual.”

He said Ramadan would file legal complaints against the women for slander and for making a complaint about “an imaginary crime”. He said he would appeal for the investigation to be dropped….

France is capitulating to Islam.
So there is LESS embarrassment for his family if it was consensual?
Will he tell us next that he just can’t help it? Women throw themselves at him for sex?
LOL!

He should keep it in the family as many Muslims do.

Let’s start by breaking his case down to the issue of credibility.

I assert that the only reason he can be addressed as “Professor” is because he was chosen as a flag bearer by Oxford {a sadly compromised seat of higher learning} because of his ethnicity and political / religious convictions, he was the all important “minority” figure. How many Professors have Islamic societies turned out ?

Are they handing out degrees for agreeing with Koranic teachings in the west now ?

Secondly, the fact that he was born in Switzerland does not qualify him as a “European”, mice born in stables remain mice not horses.

Thirdly, as there are five ways he can lie to protect Islam and his motives from close scrutiny in a court when swearing an oath to tell the truth, and he’s the grandson of the Brotherhood founder, what weight can be placed on his truthfulness ?

The man is a rat, decent men don’t do what he’s charged with.

“Tariq Ramadan is a Muslim.” I might add that Ramadan is a violent, sexual predator who should be behind bars. Barbaric Muslim men are obsessed with raping women especially infidel women. Islam is the most toxic, sick, evil political system and legal code on earth. Islam should be treated like a festering-virulent mass that cannot be allowed into western civilization. Muslim men idolize mohammed the fake prophet who was a jihadist warrior, pedophile, rapist, sexual predator.

The left will argue he has a different culture, so we can’t really judge him by Western standards. That is their logic for Muslims anyway.

Declining health–makes me happy

Since his initial detention, Ramadan has been hospitalized several times for reported multiple sclerosis.
His attorney reported that several doctors have said his condition is
“incompatible with detention”; however, the court insisted on
maintaining his detention after one of their physicians stated that his
condition was compatible with detention.[12

“being treated for multiple sclerosis”

for MS and for an “unknown disease”

So we have a medical doctor who treats “unknown”. I wonder what drugs have an AMM (autorisation de mise sur le marché) for “unknown”
