In France, prosecutors are investigating multiple rape accusations against Oxford professor and renowned Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan. One French official now says he knew Ramadan was violent toward women, although he says he’s stunned by the rape accusations. The official, Bernard Godard, said, “That girls were brought to the hotel at the end of his lectures, that he invited them to undress, that some resisted and that he could become violent and aggressive, yes, but I have never heard of rapes,” he said. Tariq Ramadan has denied any wrongdoing.
