The book, originally published in the United States, tells the story of Schneier and Ali’s friendship and discusses the contentious theological and political issues that frequently divide Jews and Muslims.
The United Arab Emirates reportedly will be publishing the book into Hebrew and Arabic, as well as create a curriculum for high school and university level students based on the themes of the book.
