Tariq Ramadan Boasts That It’s Women ‘Who Are Coming to Get Me’

French judges have dismissed a third allegation of rape against Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, who was apparently engaged in a consensual relationship with accuser Mounia Rabbouj. In a hearing, Ramadan confessed that it had been one of five extramarital affairs. Claiming that it’s women “who are coming to get me,” Ramadan boasted that “I go to Le Bourget [French commune] for a conference, and the police must take three women out of the bathroom because I come in.”
