What the World needs now!

What a fabulously revealing conversation! Like Sam, I can honestly say I have had my views changed by this book - mostly by Majid's contribution (I was already familiar with Sam's views). The thing I appreciate most about both authors is their respect and unrelenting search for facts or, where facts are less relevant (pluralism in interpreting scripture, for example) for the most plausible and helpful answers or conclusions. They both always play the ball not the player. Never will they obscure an argument by running down an opponent, although neither shy away from sharing facts about their opponents that do the work for them! I love it!!

Great collaboration

An intellectual dialogue between two different views. Smart, respectful.
Changed my mind a few times.

Important

A great reaching over the religious divide in search of an end to violence. Harris and Nawaz are having the conversation others should be having.

Fair amount of good points, but a bit shallow.

Harris is a bit weak here on pressing Nawaz. Read Nabeel Qureshi for useful rebuttals.

Vote 1 Maajid & Sam

Thank you for this thought provoking and mind opening dialogue. Maajid & Sam are refreshingly intelligent, well spoken men who together are leading the way forward in our troubled times. I look forward to them collaborating again in the future.

Enlightening

The narration was fantastic, easy to understand and spoken clearly. Definitely a listen for 5 minutes and pause to digest kind of book!

Loved it

Thought provoking and brilliant. A great conversation between Sam and Maajid that really outlines the problems with Islamism and how both Muslims and non-muslims can come together to face this threat.

A fantastic and important discussion

Would you listen to Islam and the Future of Tolerance again? Why?

Definitely worth multiple listens. An important discussion on contemporary islam, the challenges faced by individuals seeking to institute change, and a fascinating attempt to better understand those most resistant.

There is a free-form discussion at the end which is not well advertised, but provides further insight not to be found anywhere else.

Have you listened to any of Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes. This is fantastic performance by both individuals. The fact this is performed by the authors is critical to the purpose of this book. While it can sound sometimes stilted, this is more than made up for by the honesty that can be felt when listing to the conversation unfold. The free-form discussion at the end of the audio book is also a must-hear.
