Tariq Ramadan, the Islamist, Swiss scholar, whose work visa to the United States was revoked in June of 2005, by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, writes today in the opinion secttion of the Boston Globe - “At the crossroad of Islam, the West”. -
He states, referring to the rights of ‘freedom of speech and of the
press’Â that “One cannot impose mutual respect by enforcing
legislation…” ( ‘the constitution’)Â and that (the West) “…must assert the inalienable right to freedom of expression, and, at the same time, demand measured exercise of it.” ( my emphasis)
So, he calls for mutual respect, by requiring that we (the West) abridge
our principles of freedom of expression to meet the requirements of the
faith of Islam.
With apologies to H.L. Mencken. His words referring to Puritans might
have application to Islamists:
The objection to (Islamists) is not that they try to make us think as
they do, but that they try to make us do as they think”.
Here are the twelve images:
