(National-UAE) Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan has recruited a barred teacher who showed support for the Charlie Hebdo massacre to work in his new school.
Mr Ramadan is launching a centre in France to teach ethics and feminism this month, despite being suspended from his Oxford University post over rape allegations.
The new centre has announced its faith and belief teacher will be Yacob Mahi, who last year was given a three-year prison sentence in Belgium, suspended for five years, for assaulting pupils and immoral acts.
Mr Ramadan, 58, who is the grandson of the founder of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, was given a leave of absence from his post at Oxford University after he was charged in France with raping a feminist activist in 2012 and a disabled woman in 2009.
