Islam and the Future of Tolerance

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.
