»Kokew’s monograph makes important contributions to the study of contemporary Islam more generally and Shiʻa Islam specifically: by introducing contemporary Shiʻa thinkers and their diverse approaches towards tolerance, the book covers an area that has not received sufficient attention in academic scholarship.«
Prof. Dr. Oliver Scharbrodt, JSIS 2015, 529

»Neben Adel Theodor Khoury und Yohann Friedmann sollte man jetzt auch Stephan Kokew zum islamischen Toleranzbegriff heranziehen.«
