Reviews

Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio One DJ

‘This is an amazing book. Anyone interested in religions and how they get on – or don’t – should get hold of it.’

Metro London

‘An even-handed portrayal of a sensitive subject.’

New Humanist

‘Deploying her skills as a reporter, Fernandes offers a very readable, at times funny but always very informative account of her travels and meetings with the “fundies” of all creeds.’

Tim Parks,Telegraph

‘Witty, informative – and disturbing.’

Business World

‘Excellent…Holy Warriors shows up in all its ugliness the cancer of religious bigotry and intolerance that afflicts all communities – Sikhs, Christians, Hindus and Muslims. It is a vivid and shocking mosaic,’

Humra Quraishi, Tribune

“A highly potent book,”

Review: Indo-Asian News Service

‘Edna Fernandes exposes some of the post 9/11 clichés that equate islam with terrorism. A reporter with a gift for details and genuine flashes of wit, Fernandes weaves together voices of key actors as well as the innocents caught in the cleft of history to explain the seductions of fundamentalism and its many pernicious variants,’

Review by Mahesh Bhatt
