Tareq Mohammed Al-Suwaidan (Arabic: طارق محمد السويدان) (September 15, 1953)[1] is a Kuwaiti Islamic author and speaker, and businessman. He has been among the 500 Most Influential Muslims in 2022, 2023 and 2024.[2][3][4]
Al-Suwaidan has expressed polemical and militant views on the Israel-Palestine conflict. He has been banned from entry to the United States and Belgium, owing to comments he has made about Jews and Israel in sermons.
Al-Suwaidan was trained in the classical islamic sciences in his youth. He lived and studied in the United States from the age of 17 and remained in the US for 20 years. He graduated from high school, and received a Bachelor of Science in petroleum and natural gas engineering from Penn State University in 1975. He earned a Master of Science and subsequently PhD in 1990 in petroleum engineering from the University of Tulsa.[5][6][7]
Al-Suwaidan is a TV personality who has prepared and presented numerous Islamic television shows on Islamic subjects ranging from broadcasting of the Quran, stories of Muhammad, notable women and Andalusian history. His shows have aired on Kuwait television, First Channel, Space Channel and MBC.[8]
Al-Suwaidan was formerly the general manager of Al-Resalah Satellite TV, the brainchild of Saudi businessman Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.[citation needed] In August 2013, Prince Talal fired Suwaidan for his role as the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait.[9] Prince Talal wrote on his Twitter account that he sacked Tarek Al-Suwaidan "for admitting he belongs to the Brotherhood movement."[10] In a letter to Al-Suwaidan, Prince Al Waleed wrote that there was no place for a Muslim Brotherhood member on the channel. Prince Alaweed bin Talal criticized him as having "extremist inclinations".[11][12]
He is also one of the founders of Advanced Generations School (AGS) in Saudi Arabia, a "Canadian school with an Islamic identity." Students study English under the Canadian curriculum, and take Islamic and Arabic classes as well.[citation needed]
He is also the co-founder of the Etqan Global Academy (EGA) school in Qatar, which is an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) school (PYB), built on a 60 thousand square meters in Al Kheesa area.[16][17]
Al-Suwaidan is a strong supporter of women's rights within Islamic sharia law and advocated for reforming traditional understanding of Islam.[19] He has participated in the Doha Debates arguing in favor of women's political and social rights. He said forced marriages are "un-Islamic."[20] During a session with Tim Sebastian at the Doha Debates, he stated that "'Women are equal to men.' This is the basis of Sharia, this is the basis of Islamic law. Now, what happened is that in the past 400 or 500 years, we have been backward, we have been occupied, and tradition has mastered our society and some people are mixing up between Sharia and Islam and the tradition, and thus in the name of Islam, they are putting woman down." Kuwait granted woman the rights in 2005, and he was one of those who were advocating woman rights to those who were blaming Sharia for it. He stated that "I am for the participation of women in building the society and for them taking all positions including the presidency of a country. These are my religious views and I don't hide them,"[21]
He supported the Muslim Brotherhood against the 2013 Egyptian coup d'tat. He is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait and has been described in US State Department cables as a "moderate Islamist".[22] In 2012 he said "If Islamists start to become tyrants in the countries that were hit by the Arab Spring, we will revolt against them just like we did against their predecessors." and that "Freedom is a holy right and is one of the principles in Islam ... Freedom is to do and say what a person wishes but in a polite manner and without hurting others."[23] Al-Suwaidan has condemned the 9/11 terrorists saying "these people are very dangerous to themselves, to the Arab world, to the Islamic world itself, and to Islam itself." He said that slavery in Islam was eradicated by liberals only and not by the Islamists, and that "a human being is free in his movements and where he wants to belong, and convictions are what move people, and not force."[24]
In 2006 he said that the European Union, as well as the rest of the world, should enact "a law that forbids the insult to religious figures and religious sacred opinions."[25] Al-Suwaidan is one of the signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You, an open letter by Islamic scholars to Christian leaders, calling for peace and understanding.[26][27]
In November 2014, Al-Suwaidan was banned by the Belgium government from attending a Muslim Fair in Brussels on the basis of the comments made in this sermon. On his Twitter account, Al-Suwaidan wrote, "Under pressure from the Zionist Lobby, the Belgium government decided to prevent me from entering the country despite holding a valid visa."[36] He says that the reason they denied him entry was his "candid position regarding Zionism and the barbaric crimes of the Israeli occupation".[36] The Belgium government said that it had decided to prevent Al-Suwaidan from visiting Brussels, because of his "anti-Semitic" remarks in the past.[36] The Belgian Prime Minister and Interior Minister said "This preacher has unacceptable anti-Semitic beliefs and his presence here is a threat to public order."[37] After his ban in Belgium, he stated "I am glad that I disturbed the Zionists to this extent, and I call on everyone, especially scholars and preachers, to raise their voice against Zionism and the barbaric criminal practices of Israel."[38]
In January 2022, during an interview with Al-Estiklal, he stated that "This is the Islamic philosophy; it did not erase the cultures of others. It is this diversity that makes life beautiful. This diversity is what is required, so there is no problem during the integration process to adopt the secondary features of identity, but with retaining the core elements. Muslims who live in Europe, especially from the second and third generations, naturally live as Europeans, but without violating the principles of the Islamic religion" and that "we want every society to have its own unique features, and we want the people of the society to be imbued with this particularity, as long as it does not conflict with the principles of their religion."[39]
In October 2013, Al-Suwaidan tweeted that he had been barred from performing the lesser Umrah pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, stating "I have been banned from entering Saudi Arabia solely for my views and my position against the coup in Egypt and I say that my love for Saudi Arabia and its people is unshaken and that ideas can [never] be banned."[42] In 2020, Saudi government brought a person to the courtroom accusing him of acquiring a book on the history of Palestine by Al-Suwaidan.[43]
Hundreds of Arabic and English speeches by Al-Suwaidan can be found on YouTube where there are excerpts from his appearances on Arab TV channels, as well as speeches delivered in the Middle East and in the West.[40]
