More From Tariq Ramadan

The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist or a christian, i think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. we have our national identity. we have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.

There may be evidence the russians are trying to tamper with elections. the russians are trying to infiltrate everything we do, and they've succeeded. they've infiltrated hollywood, they've infiltrated our universities, probably try to infiltrate elections by who knows what. but the idea that there is evidence that putin was actively trying to elect trump, there isn't a morsel of evidence for that, yet it shows up. the truth of the matter is that putin doesn't care who runs the united states. it doesn't matter to him.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
