Actually, theopenwar.com describes the whole story and legitimacy of authors like Ali Eteraz and his supporters.

Our book club chose to read Children of Dust and we unanimously felt that it fell rather short of our expectations. It is not a book to educate or even enlighten anyone about Pakistan or Islam, it was pretentious and reeked of arrogance. What makes Ali Eteraz an expert? I personally felt that the author wrote this book in a desperate attempt to be relevant. Really?!

The publication of his story sounds like a welcome one at this time, adding to the plurality of Muslim experiences, especially given the voices which are often given more prominence.
