some weeks before publication, a few writings taken from "leaving islam" were made available online on the website of warraq's institute for the secularisation of islamic society. reviewing these previews for dutch daily newspaper "trouw", scholar of islam hans jansen noted that, although "not all of the testimonies are written down in equally pretty english", he accepted this consequence of the world wide web being accessible around the globe and users with other native languages now able to communicate in unprecedented ways that censorship would previously prevent. "for the first time in history, muslims will have unrestrained access to anti-islamic polemics. the rule, applying in all islamic countries, that only islam may enter the marketplace of new religious ideas, has definitively come to an end due to the internet, and ibn warraq."
