Favorite quotes (more or less) from Tariq Ramadan's speech at JHU, April 15th

On Muslims & integration:
"We need to have a post-integration discussion- now it's time to talk about contribution. it's no longer about how muslims can integrate in society -- because we are here, we've been here sometimes for hundreds of years. now it's time to talk about how muslims can contribute to society."

On being a good Muslim:
"Being a good muslim is not just about getting up in the middle of the night to pray. The prophet was praying in the middle of the night in order to get strength so that he can change the world for the better the next day."
