Said Ramadan (Arabic: سعيد رمضان, died 1995) was the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Egyptian Islamist organization the Muslim Brotherhood. Said Ramadan was a major figure in that organization and was expelled from Egypt by Gamal Abdul Nasser for his activities. He moved to Saudi Arabia where he founded the World Islamic League, a charity and missionary group. He then moved to Geneva, Switzerland where he founded the Islamic Center in Geneva, a combination mosque, think tank, and community center. His son Hani Ramadan now runs that center. Another son, Tariq Ramadan is prominent in international Islamic affairs and academics.
Said Ramadan's US connections included Malcolm X and Dawud Salahuddin.
He is thought to be the author of "The Project", a 1982 document discovered by Swiss intelligence in 2001, which outlines a plan for installing Islamic regimes in the West.
