""Sons of Abraham" represents the culmination of years of work by Rabbi Schneier, my partner at the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, Imam Ali, and myself to bring Muslims and Jews together all across the world. Few people thought that these orthodox religious leaders could be friends, and even fewer believed their work would succeed, but "Sons of Abraham" shows how their friendship has created a model for a worldwide Muslim-Jewish reconciliation."
--Russell Simmons, Chairman of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding and co-founder of Def Jam Records
"Through a robust discussion of the history and mindsets that define both Judaism and Islam, Imam Shamsi Ali and Rabbi Marc Schneier offer that the truest illustration of faith lies not in traditions or a myopic approach to piety, but rather in a deeply held belief in one God, a concern for human dignity, and a commitment to mutual respect. The authors--in their friendship and in their service--offer a rare example of cooperation and provide a beacon of hope as we pursue peace between peoples torn apart by millennia of misunderstanding and mistrust. "Sons of Abraham" is a work of political, social, and religious significance and a roadmap for how we should and can move forward."
--Congressman Andre Carson
"In this book my friends Rabbi Marc Schneier and Imam Shamsi Ali show us that Muslims and Jews are not enemies, but friends who are united by our belief in a monotheistic god and our lineage to our forefather Abraham. The Rabbi and Imam's friendship is a reminder that peace and friendship are possible between our peoples."
