Review "Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, What Would a Muslim Say is impressively informed and informative, making it a critically important addition to both community and academic library collections. Deserving of the widest readership possible given today's national dialogue concerning Americans of the Muslim faith..." - James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review "For readers who know little about Islam, but see or watch the news and social media and have some questions, What Would a Muslim Say is a useful introduction ... Rashed's responses are intelligent, detailed, thorough, and scholarly, but offered in a respectful, understandable, and friendly tone. He is like a skilled educator who encourages dialog, rather than simply answering a question." - Kimberlee J Benart, Readers' Favorite "There's never been a more important time for interfaith dialogue than now. Rashed explains how the tenets of his religion forbid the sort of behaviour shown by extremist groups." - Allister N. Thompson, Freelance Editor "Loved this book!
