'Extreme speeches': Tariq Ramadan
David Cameron is facing embarrassment over the close links between a Government adviser on religion and an Islamist group placed under urgent investigation.
The Prime Minister last week ordered the security services to look into the Muslim Brotherhood amid fears its leaders, exiled from Egypt, are plotting terrorist attacks from London.
He said the inquiry would establish ‘the complete picture’ of the Brotherhood including its possible involvement with ‘violent extremism’ and its ‘presence here in the UK’.
But the investigation is likely to lead to red faces in Whitehall, as a scion of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founding family is a senior ministerial adviser.
Tariq Ramadan is one of 14 members of the Foreign Office’s Advisory Group on Freedom of Religion or Belief, chaired by Tory peer Baroness Warsi. He is Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University, and was a member of a taskforce set up by Tony Blair after 7/7.
But Prof Ramadan, 51, is grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder Hassan al-Banna and his father Said Ramadan was a leading light.
The Swiss citizen was for several years banned from the US for ‘providing material support to a terrorist organisation’ and only let in after a long legal battle in which he argued that no link with terrorism existed.
He was kept out of France in the 1990s over supposed links to Algerian terrorists.
He lost two posts at Dutch universities for hosting a chat show on a TV channel backed by the Iranian regime and became notorious for refusing to say stoning to death should be banned outright, although calling for a moratorium.
Prime Minister David Cameron last week ordered the security services to look into the Muslim Brotherhood amid fears its leaders, exiled from Egypt, are plotting terrorist attacks from London.
Critics repeatedly accuse the smartly dressed, well-spoken scholar of seeming to be moderate when speaking to Western audiences but giving more extreme speeches in Arabic.
Douglas Murray, associate director of the Henry Jackson Society think-tank, said: ‘David Cameron should be deeply embarrassed by this. Tariq Ramadan is extremely loyal to his father and grandfather and he does not, by any means, speak out against the Muslim Brotherhood.’
A Foreign Office spokesman said: ‘Prof Ramadan has written and taught extensively on issues relating to Islam, and therefore has plenty of relevant experience to bring to the group.’
Prof Ramadan’s office in France declined to comment.

David Slime Ball Cameron. Traitor to England and the English people, lover of Muslims and the Muslim Brotherhood. Just like Obama who has the Muslim Brotherhood working in the White House with him. They are in this together to help the Muslims take over. Cameron has already let terrorists from the Muslim Brotherhood move in to London, and now he's pretending to act concerned about them, the lying bastard.
The Labour party are now waiting for Cameron to be booted out of 10 Downing street, so Miliband can move in, to Carry On Were Cameron Left Off.
The Conservatives. The Labour Party. The Lib/Dems and the Ukip Party are ALL Traitors, they ALL want the same thing, and that is a Muslim take over of Great Britain. Nigel Farage is a is a big fan of Cameron, and he want's to form a coalition government with the Tory's at the next election, but he would also form a coalition government with the Labour party. Farage doesn't know his arse from his elbow, and Ukip members have been leaving the party and joining the British National Party.
What sort of Prime Minister do we have who takes advice from the Muslim Brotherhood. It's no wonder Cameron want's a Muslim Prime Minister, and more Muslim leaders in the British army. Cameron has already allowed over 85 Sharia law courts, the British public are being brainwashed without realizing it, the Sharia law is now in place to take over the British law system. The Labour party are all paedophiles, and they are making 4 year old children have sex lessons about intercourse, because Muslim children can marry at 6 years old, and have intercourse at 9 yeas old, and the Muslims have already said, when they take over, they will take our young daughters are rape them. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT!!!!!
We have 15 years at the most before Great Britain is a Muslim state, every time you vote for any of the above, your voting for the Muslims. Can you now see why the Tory's and the Labour party and the Lib/Dems wanted you all to stay away from the British National Party, it's because the British National Party tell the truth, thy are not racist at all, but they don't want Muslims running Great Britain, but the parties above do. The UAF thugs, are sent out to cause trouble and so is Hope Not Hate, they all do as the government tells them to.
Stop listening to the Lies that you are told about the British National Party, by the Government, the News papers and the TV. The British National Party loves Great Britain and they love the British people. The British National Party are here for you the people. They will make Great Britain Great again. All immigration will be stopped, and asylum seekers will be sent back to where they came from. Hanging will be brought back for all paedophiles and murderers. Bobby's will walk the streets again making sure people are safe from harm. British people will be first for housing, British people will be first for all jobs, and the elderly people will receive the care they need with no extra cost to them at all.
HELP TO SAVE GREAT BRITAIN BEFORE IT'S TO LATE AND VOTE FOR
THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY.
