Named by Time Magazine as one of the top 100 most important innovators of the 21st century, Professor Ramadan is a prominent and internationally respected intellectual scholar of Islam who has also been a lightning rod for controversy (he was barred for six years from entering the US). Known in many circles as the "Muslim Martin Luther," Ramadan is a reformer with an urgent and compelling message: our very survival depends upon our ability to build a harmonious, respectful global community - otherwise we will be on a path toward a world where, "Fear, doubt and distrust [will colonize] our hearts and minds."
Tariq Ramadan is Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at the Oxford University President of the European think tank: European Muslim Network in Brussels. He holds an MA in Philosophy and French literature and PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Geneva. In Cairo, Egypt he received one-on-one intensive training in classic Islamic scholarship from Al-Azhar University scholars.
Sponsored by Muslim Educational Trust, World Affairs Council of Oregon, Lewis & Clark, Institute for Christian-Muslim Understanding; Co-Sponsored by Bilal Masjid, Grace Episcopal Church and Grace Institute, and Portland State University; With additional support from Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and the First Unitarian Church
