"In einer Zeit, in der es auch um Verstandnis des Anderen geht, ist dieser etwas andere Blick eine sehr sinnvolle Hilfe, zumal auch aufgrund der hohen inhaltlichen Qualitat des Buches."Volker S. Stahr in: Neue Zurcher Zeitung, 2004 "With his remarkable sensitivity and unfliching optimism, Waardenburg makes a convincing case for an understanding that goes beyond the ignorant tolerance and arrogant indifference of many communities today, and shows that small histories do matter."Ibrahim Kalin in: The Muslim World Book Review 1/2004
