About this listen

In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem drawn to extremism? What do words like Islamism, jihadism, and fundamentalism mean in today's world?

Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this dialogue between a famous atheist and a former radical is all the more startling for its decorum. Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time - fearlessly and fully - and actually make progress.

Islam and the Future of Tolerance has been published with the explicit goal of inspiring a wider public discussion by way of example. In a world riven by misunderstanding and violence, Harris and Nawaz demonstrate how two people with very different views can find common ground.

The basic reading of the book is a little robotic. I love listening to their dialogue at the end of the book much more than the reading.

As a young Canadian from northern Ontario, I'm quite ignorant on the subject of Islam. Most of what I know was learned through the media, and the greater issues seemed large and disheartening. This dialogue cleared up a lot of my confusion, and made these topics seem a lot more approachable. Experiencing a book with more than one perspective on the subject matter was refreshing, and I hope to see more people emulating this method of discussion.

Incredible and insightful

I feel like I now have a good foundation for understanding the difference between Islamists, Muslims, Jihadists and more. What an important and dangerous dialogue Sam and Maajid have opened up. I hope it leads to more.

An eye opener.

I hope that all of my fellow Muslims read this book, no matter where they are on the spectrum of Islamic beliefs/ideologies. This is also a must read for any non-Muslims and interested in understanding the various political debates that exist among Muslims.

Must read for all Muslims
