Tariq Ramadan is the Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University and President of the European Muslim Network. Through his writings and lectures he has contributed substantially to the debate on the issues of Muslims in the West and Islamic revival in the Muslim world. He is active both at the academic and grassroots levels, lecturing extensively throughout the world on theology, ethics, social justice, ecology and interfaith as well as intercultural dialogue.
TIME Magazine has twice recognized Ramadan: first in 2000, naming him one of the world’s top 100 innovators of the 21st Century (one of the world’s top 7th religious leaders), and again, in 2004, as one of the world’s top 100 most influential intellectuals. Ramadan was named by Foreign Policy magazine on its list of 100 top global thinkers in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012 and was voted the 8th top most intellectual person in the world on the list of Top 100 Public Intellectuals by Prospect Magazine (UK).
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

-Don't destroy buildings, temple and churches.
-Don't kill people who surrendered.
-Don't kill animal except for eating.
-Be good to prisoner, feed them and don't enforce Islam.
Beyond inspirational
Amazing speech
It is so sad that you don't apply what you preach. Please stop using Islam for your business, you are pretending to be good muslim, but you are far away. You don't respect women, which means you don't respect your religion.
Islam is NOT a religion. It is a TOTALITARISM incompatible with human rights.
"This is the message of religion"
A casual gloss at Abrahamic religion determines that s a lie.
God bless you
"Humble yourself, change yourself. Educate yourself, change the world" My fav quote
"Put meaning in your actions"
Thank you for the time you gave us for making this presentation.
It was really rewarding !
Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim. See how nice is the teaching of religion. If everyone of us follow the right way. GOD teach us all the good thing so that we can lived in harmony in this world. American Politician is the one that separate this 3 Ibrahamic believe in Oness of ALLAH.
Mr Ramadan talking about ethics…in retrospect, so touching.
We must Be with The One daily!! Groovism is the belief system!!
The search for truth being claimed here is a fraudulent one.
He speaks with the leaders of other religions in this search. He doesn’t talk about speaking with leading atheist thinkers.
It is intellectually dishonest. I can’t speak to this man’s motivations but speaking with leaders suggest a power and authority agenda.
There is insufficient evidence for a god or god’s to warrant belief.
The god concept is being morphed into a vague ‘spirituality’ concept here.
Religion is a thought system. It defines how we should think and act. It is not based on reason or evidence. It based on a higher power that is not in evidence and most likely does not exist at all.
All the pretty words of this engaging speaker do not change these underlying truths.
It is time to come out of our infancy.
Tariq got this from the book "Immortal Diamond" written in 2012 by Richard Rohr and even takes the same quotes… wow.
et les imams du temps moderne allah t as puni amine

Take time of knowing ourselves to be better as we make a step ahead each day,each month and each years to change ourselves towards a better world.
To get His, Revelation 21:5 must be before 19:5. Hopeless indeed.
