 * Keep: his book was translated into at least 6 languages; there are various references in French media and probably also in other countries; he is frequently interviewed by French media and invited to talk in conferences in France. He is not particularly known in Iraq especially under this name. Peter17 (talk) 06:45, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep -- 50,000 copies is a substantial number for a Christian book. His story of fleeing from being murdered by his family is regreatably typcial for those who leave Islam.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
