“
Islam and the future of tolerance” is a book, audiobook and film, based on the
homonymous discussion between Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz that took place at the
Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics in 2015. Sam Harris is a well
known author, philosopher and neuroscientist, Maajid Nawaz a former extremist
turned political activist and founder of the
Quilliam foundation, the world's
first counter-extremism think-tank. The discussion is honest, nuanced and
extremely well informed, given the particular areas of expertise of the
interlocutors. Following their original dialogue, Harris and Nawaz remained in
contact and expanded on the topics raised to further clarify their respective
points, making notes along the way. The result of this effort is arguably one of
the most informative, genuine and clear-sighted discussions you are likely to
find on this topic.
