The flaws in Ramadan’s proposed solution to Euro-jihadism mirror the flaws in his explanation for the phenomenon, which he attributes largely to Europe’s involvement in the wars in the Middle East, its supposed collusion with Israel’s suppression of the Palestinians, and its support of Arab autocrats. “We cannot,” he writes, “support dictatorships … be silent when civilians are massacred south of our borders, and hope that we will not receive a response to the injustice and humiliation we have provoked.”
Les lacunes de la solution proposée par Ramadan à l’euro-djihadisme reflètent les lacunes de son explication du phénomène, qu’il attribue essentiellement à la participation de l’Europe dans des guerres au Moyen-Orient, à sa collusion supposée avec la répression des Palestiniens par Israël et au soutien apporté à des autocrates arabes.
