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 very important and engaging book
This conversation is perfect antidote to the frustrating and usually baffling noise that constitutes the majority of public discourse about Islam, particularly online. The primary point of the book is the not even the material but the manner of conversation. It's a refreshing example of how to explore issues constructively without descending into defensiveness and ideological sleight of hand.

Superb
I learned a lot from this dialogue. Im going to try to find time to listen all over again. The post-script audio commentary and Q&A between the authors is worth the price of the book alone. A must listen for all.

A very useful discussion and an enlightening one for both sides
My title says it all really. I feel like this is also a rare example of two debaters genuinely coming together mid debate and finding middle ground, which is a testament to the speaker’s abilities to assess their own position constantly. Give it a listen, it may well change your life and hopefully the world.

Groundbreaking
This is a truly novel approach to discussing the issues faced by the potential and actual crashing together of Islam and the non-Muslim world. Huge credit must go to Sam and Maajid.
