Rezensionen
?Raif Badawi's is an important voice for all of us to hear, mild, nuanced, but clear. His examination of his culture is perceptive and rigorous. Of course he must be saved from the dreadful sentence against him and the appalling conditions of his imprisonment. But he must also be read, so that we understand the struggle within Islam between suffocating orthodoxy and free expression, and make sure we find ourselves on the right side of that struggle." ?Salman Rushdie

?Badawi writes for his generation, and for all those interested in changing the Arab and Islamic world for the better." ?Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of Heretic and Infidel

"Badawi's writings are refreshing ...This slim but fascinating and informative volume clearly brings home the consequences of our benign neglect of the Saudi totalitarian situation." ?Library Journal
