The two manuscripts, "A New Kind of Muslim" and "Brief Thoughts about a New Islam", have been combined into one volume. The essays are very readable; they make it easy to understand the epigrams in "Brief Thoughts". Maybe the world will notice this work, and maybe not. If the Muslim clerical establishment notices this book there may be a fatwah and there may be violence. Muslims do not take kindly to heresy, nor to anyone who suggests that he might be a modern-day prophet, or perhaps Al-Mahdi.
