Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue by Maajid Nawaz, Sam Harris
3.0
I think it's essential to have these sorts of difficult discussions, and I found the first half of this book to be very enlightening. I'm not a huge fan of Sam Harris but he did push Maajid Nawaz to answer some very tough questions about how Nawaz and his laudable organization Quilliam specifically propose to combat Islamism and foster reform in Muslim societies.
The book sort of petered out at a certain point, and to be honest even this slim volume was too much Sam Harris for me (I find really strident atheists to be as annoying as really strident anybody elses). It was worth reading and will give me a better understanding when I go to read other books on the topic, and I'm glad to know about the work Quilliam is doing.
