Understanding Islam through Virtual Worlds:

"Joshua and Rita are THE great explorers of new possibilities and media for public diplomacy."-- Tish Shute, propietor of UgoTrade.com and TishShute.com

"The project’s use of Second Life virtual experiences, where internet users can interact with each other through avatars to engage in intercultural dialogue, is indeed a pioneering initiative." Prof. Muhammad Ayish, Abu Dhabi's "The National"

"A fascinating clash of best intentions and actual spiritual desires, transplanted into the virtual realm." Wagner James Au in New World Notes.

"With this report, Josh and Rita have illuminated a new path–a definite intelligible plan–for practical public diplomacy in an area of supreme urgency. Furthermore, they have done so by elevating humanity’s most distinguishing feature: the imagination."-- Joel Rosenthal, President, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs
