Having read Ramadan's book, Western Muslims and the Future of Islam and done my ISP on him. I found nothing to suggest that he is either sexist, reactionary or propogates a literal interpreation of the Qu'ran.
In fact in Western Muslims and the Future of Islam, he argues that Muslims need to contextualise their faith for their environment and most importantly suggests that Islam and the West are not two divergent or opposing fields, and that people can retain both their European and Islamic identity.
While he may have his detractors, and seriously it seems you can't win eithr way. I feel he speaks to a much wider mainstram Muslim and Western audience.
