Žižek is a thinker who regards nothing as outside his field: the result is deeply interesting and provocative
—— GuardianŽižek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the counterintuitive observation
—— New YorkerThe Enemy Within is such a comprehensive analysis it should be on the school syllabus as seminal ... It is only through the likes of Sayeeda Warsi that the UK stands any chance of establishing the social cohesion it needs with its Muslim population
—— Sir Alan DuncanEloquent ... Calm and clever reflection
—— Andrew MarrUniquely insightful
—— Tim Shipman , Sunday TimesA unique perspective on British multiculturalism
—— Afua Hirsch , GuardianThe Enemy Within is vital reading for decision-makers in Whitehall and Fleet Street. It shows that we need more of the quality that terrorists signally lack: empathy with those different from ourselves
—— Sameer Rahim , TelegraphA hard headed, well-informed and intellectually coherent analysis of policy towards British Islam. Much of what Baroness Warsi reveals is deeply shocking. Again and again it turns conventional wisdom on its head. It deserves to promote a public debate on this subject which has been needed for more than 20 years
—— Peter OborneTimely and thoughtful
—— Jenni Russell , Sunday Times[Warsi is] a trailblazer ... [She] writes with conviction
—— SpectatorSayeeda Warsi's integrity, intelligence and deep understanding of the challenges confronting the Muslim communities, the government and wider society make this a politically charged and invigorating read. A vital book at a critical time
—— Helena Kennedy QCSayeeda Warsi traces the recent travails of British Islam through her own remarkable journey from a working-class childhood in Yorkshire to a seat at the Cabinet table. She is an unsparing critic, whether of Muslims who practise intolerance or media-driven politicians who find virtue in "non-engagement". But the conclusion of this thoughtful and passionate book offers hope amid the gloom: with fresh policies and a dash of courage, the beast of division can be starved, and Britain strengthened to make its way in the world
—— David Anderson QC, Independent Reviewer of Terrorism LegislationThe book is a masterpiece of fine writing and wisdom. It is timely and much needed in rebutting the myths and fears that spread Islamophobia. It reaffirms the values of equal citizenship, free speech and the rule of law in our multicultural society. It is a wake-up call and a manifesto for politicians and media in combatting religious and racial discrimination
—— Lord Lester of Herne Hill QCCompelling brave and honest

—— Qari Asim (Leading UK Imaam and Member of HM Government's Sharia Review)A gut-wrenching and relentless experience...Farida's story needs to be told.
