Wonderful blog. I have nothing deep or witty to leave for you, I simply enjoyed very much getting to know you through the writings. High Desert High brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much!
Hi,
My cuzin posted a facebook link on your Tedx talk, I googled your website, clicked the link on your book ‘after the prophet’ which arrived 2 weeks later and…I could not put it down. Fantastic reading especially for ‘agnostic’ muslims like myself. Lesley, you should make a film as it has all the ingredients of a blockbuster movie. Hide it by making it contemporary as in patriarch Sicily or Roman Republic less we annoy some cleric somewhere. (fatwa free movie)
Big thanks for making my weekend and enlightening me.
