Cibaadaysi dhiirigelin leh, wax barid maskaxiyan ah, iyo caqabad xagga ruuxa ah. Xilli ay 'Soomaali' iyo 'Masiixiyiin' ay erayaheenna diiniga ah ugu muuqdaan sida oksaymoroon, buuggani wuxuu xusuusin u yahay in Eebbe agtiisa ay wax walba suurtogal yihiin. --Jonathan J. Bonk, Agaasimaha Fulinta, Xarunta Waxbarasho ee Wasaaradaha Dibadda, New Haven, CT
Doodii Axmed ee nabad-raadinta dhaqanka Soomaalida/Islaamka iyo hababka cadaaladda soo celinta waxay dhalinaysaa su'aalo kicinaya fikirka injiilka iyo dhaqanka. Jeceylka Axmed ee nabada uu la leeyahay Islaamka iyo gudaha ayaa muhiimad weyn u leh xiriirka Masiixiyiinta iyo Muslimiinta. --Dr. John Azumah, Agaasimaha Xarunta Daraasaadka Islaamka, Dugsiga fiqiga ee London (UK).
Markhaati dhiirigelinaya saamaynta baaxadda leh ee ku koridda qoyska jacaylka ah ee rumaysadka, iyo doorashada Axmed si uu ugu noolaado nolol Masiixu xuddun u tahay.

About the Author
Ahmed Ali Haile was born in Bulo Burte, Somalia, into a loving Muslim family. He became a devout young student of the Qu'ran. Then, at a tumultuous time in his country's history, he discovered Jesus Christ and the transforming power of his love. He later turned down the opportunity for political advancement in his country and left for Kenya and later to the United States. Ahmed pursued degrees related to community development with special focus in peace and conflict transformation. In 1982, desiring to help his homeland, he traveled back to Somalia to work in development and peace among his people. He married Martha J. Wilson in 1987 and they established a home in Somalia. For fifteen years Ahmed taught peace studies at Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya. The family returned to the United States in 2009 and settled in Glendale, Wisconsin.
