Summary
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.

Bold conversation, one that is much needed. Educational, inspiring and shining a light on a way forward.

Absolutely worthwhile
The fact that it has been written as a conversation felt jarring in the beginning, because the two are reading their own words and thus do so more rigidly than ones ear naturally expects when listening to two people speak. However, whether I just got used to this or the two began reading more naturally as the book went on, this effect soon dissipated. If you're put of by this in the sample, I would encourage you to ignore it and go ahead with the book anyway.
The two speakers are each important voices of reason in a conversation that is oftentimes void of it. Their conversation is both thought-provoking and highly informative, I think probably whatever place in the debate you came at it from.
Highly recommend it.

A masterclass in analysis of Islam.
This is essential listening for all but especially for educators, politicians and Muslims. CD

Good
Any additional comments?
The book has done what it set out to do in my opinion. And having the extra part at the end only for the audio book listeners was very welcome.

Brilliant
As always, Harris is fluent, coherent and impeccably logical. Nawaz is a worthy team member for Sam. Brilliant.

A book that people must hear!
I thought that this book would be painful but I think it is one of the most important books I have read.

A much needed book
Fantastic having the book read by both co-authors in a conversational style. Both make excellent narrators.
Such a rare exchange.
I do not think there is another book like this, but hope it will not stay that way for long. With any luck this book will pave the way for others of opposing viewpoints to seek dialogue instead of just debate, or worse, censorship and taboo.

The most important topic of our time
So pleased to have learnt about Maajid through Sam Harris. A true leading light with a humanitarian and reasoned voice we can all listen to - believers and non-believers alike.
It has helped me to understand a topic that I too once felt the need to obsfucate out of liberal tendency.
This is a very important book and I look forward to following the continuing dialogue.

Important stuff that everyone needs to hear
The more informal conversion between the authors included at the end of this audio book is just as interesting as the book itself.
Essential listening for any who have heard the term 'regressive left' but don't understand what it means or why they are so dangerous as enablers and apologists for Islamist extremism.

Love it!
Maajid Nawaz is an absolute god send. As a free thinker and keeping upto date with British politics and social issues and as a brit myself I've never known anyone as inspiring and interesting as this man. Would love to see netflix make a movie of his life.
