POPSNecla Kelek vs. Tariq Ramadan: Wer hat Angst vor dem europäischen Islam? Tagung mit Jürgen Habermas und Tariq Ramadan: ↗Ohne Muslime kein Europa Die Integration der nach Europa eingewanderten Muslime sei längst kein Projekt mehr, sondern Realität, so Tariq Ramadan. Bei einer Tagung traf der umstrittene Vertreter der europäischen Muslime auf den Philosophen Jürgen Habermas – und es wurde kontrovers über das Verhältnis Europa-Moderne-Islam diskutiert. Buchtipp: Wer hat Angst vor Tariq Ramadan? ↗Epochaler Reformator oder Wolf im Schafspelz? Tariq Ramadan ist wohl einer der schillerndsten muslimischen Intellektuellen Europas. Nina zu Fürstenberg hat den vielfach auch als "Softcore-Islamisten" gescholtenen Ramadan in ihrem Buch unter die Lupen genommen. Katajun Amirpur hat es gelesen.

POPSIn the name of the Palestinians International humanitarian relief organizations are sharply restricted in their activities ; badly needed food supplies are not getting through. The June 19 - December 19 truce was conditional on an end the siege and the blockade of Gaza, and partial opening the Egyptian border crossing. Neither Israel (nor Egypt) has respected these conditions ; the Palestinian population has been the victim of inhuman treatment, for weeks, months and years now. Are we to ignore these realities in order to justify the massacres now unfolding before our eyes ? Are the Palestinians responsible for their own misfortune because rockets were launched from Gaza ? The failure of memory is compounded by a loss of all sense of proportion : the number of Israeli victims is now multiplied by a factor of one hundred, two hundred, three hundred Palestinian civilians murdered by Israeli government fiat.

POPSDebating the Color of Europe: Point-Counterpoint between Marine Le Pen and Tariq Ramadan What people fail to appreciate is that Europe was never as pure as we imagine it. Western culture developed in tandem with Eastern culture, not separately. Most European ethnicities originally came from Central Asian populations. The process of redefinition and cultural influence has been going on in Europe for centuries. Short-sighted people like Le Pen are not just foolish for wanting to stop it, but for even thinking they can. A culture cannot isolate itself from the world. This was true during the Medieval Crusades, and it is even more true today. Immigration is the fundamental nature of man. Isolation is the basic reaction of the ignorant and fearful. Of course, Europe has never been bashful about imposing its culture over local cultures around the world. Could the immigration debate be a vestigial reflex of imperialism?
