A parallel society
Augean Stables offers a blockbuster post on Islam in Rotterdam. The following passage from a quoted piece should be cited every time Tariq Ramadan speaks anywhere about anything; let alone when he is valorised by "the left" (via Five Feet of Fury).
One of the professors at Erasmus University in Rotterdam is Tariq Ramadan, the famous Swiss Islamic scholar who is also a special adviser for the city. Some of Ramadan’s statements against homosexuality were uncovered by Holland’s most famous gay magazine, “Gay Krant,” directed by a talkative journalist named Henk Krol. On a videocassette, Ramadan calls homosexuality “a disease, a disorder, an imbalance.” On the tape, Ramadan also has comments on women, “they should keep their eyes on the ground when they’re on the street.”
