Recensione:

The emphasis in Meetings with Remarkable Muslims is on our shared humanity. Most of the 'remarkable Muslims' in this anthology aren't remarkable in their achievements - rather, they are extraordinary in their ordinary humanity ... The love and compassion displayed leaves an indelible impression. This is indeed a remarkable book, conveying the diversity and humanity of Muslims with style and grace. It proves that if we overlook, or look down on, the ordinary, we diminish ourselves and the world. --Ziauddin Sardar, The Independent

Every political leader in the Western world should be forced to read this book. --Nick Smith, Geographical

Much of the book is breathless, exciting narrative, and I have rarely come across such compelling travel writing. The collection sheds light on the dynamics that animate contemporary Muslim societies, but each piece is gripping in its own right... no readercan fail to be moved by the stories in this book. --Gamal Nkrumah, Al-Ahram
