This is really helpful mr. Ramadan. Listening to you speak sometimes is like listening to a big brother who gives sincere words of wisdom and advice.
I have had once the opportunity to attend one of your talks, last year. I was there with my brother who didn’t know you. But both of us were captivated from the beginning till the end. Was it charisma? Of course. But it was more than that. My brother pointed it out afterwords: here was a man talking to a mixed audience of muslims and non-muslims, but you were talking to us! I think you really believe in muslims, not as potentially enough integrated and maybe accepted, but as people with intrinsic value and potential. Then I realised how much we are used to being adressed like we are flawed and maybe ok at best, but never good enough.
