Tariq Ramadan Urges France to Unite
PARIS – Criticizing the anti-Islam rhetoric played by presidential aspirants to win votes, prominent Swiss Muslim intellectual Tariq Ramadan has urged French politicians to work to unite their country.
“Instead of talking about halal meat, the burka, national identity and dividing France, you should unite it,” Ramadan told a packed hall at the annual Muslim conference Le Bourget, organized by the Union of Islamic Organizations of France (UOIF).
