Tariq Ramadan on Islam and the West

Listen Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Authors, Law, Politics, Religion, Society

He's one of Europe's most visible public intellectuals, grappling with what it means to be a Muslim in the West. Tariq Ramadan says that Islam has become a Western religion and that the faith's sacred texts can and must be reconciled with secular, pluralistic societies. His critics say he's a closet-radical who engages in "doublespeak". We explore culture, human rights and contemporary Islam.
