Professor Tariq Ramadan holds MA in Philosophy and French literature and PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Geneva. In Cairo he received intensive training in classic Islamic scholarship from Al-Azhar University scholars. Tariq Ramadan had been appointed Professor of Islamic Studies at Notre Dame University (USA) but resigned from the post as his visa was revoked by the US-State Department in 2004. He is currently Senior Research Fellow at Lokahi Foundation and visiting Professor at Oxford St Antony's College. After the suicide attacks in London on July 7, 2005 Prof. Ramadan was nominated adviser to the British government.
Tariq Ramadan is one of the most influential thinkers of Euro-Islam. Through his writings and lectures he has contributed substantially to the debate on the situation of Muslims in the West and Islamic revival in the Muslim world. He is active both at the academic and grassroots levels lecturing extensively throughout the world on social justice and dialogue between civilizations. On March 10, 2006 Tariq Ramadan and Amr Khaled will participate in an interfaith dialogue conference in Copenhagen.
One of his main books To be a European Muslim (Islamic Foundation, Leicester, 1999) was translated into 14 languages (German: Muslimsein in Europa. Marburg 2001.). More recently he published: Peut-on vivre avec l'islam? Entretien avec Jacques Neirynck (Ed. Favre, dernière édition fév. 2004) and Western Muslims and The Future of Islam (Oxford University Press, 2004).
