Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue by Maajid Nawaz, Sam Harris

4.0

A very interesting and important discussion. The two varied perspectives work well together. I would consider this a great place to start researching this topic. It is respectful but not diluted by meaningless and vague sentiment. They are willing to state some hard truths and call for a discussion. The only drawback would be the lack of depth and detail. I felt that, at times, they were dismissing religious beliefs out of hand, rather than rigorously refuting them. At one point, one of the authors states that there is always multiple perspectives on any scriptural text and therefore there is no one true interpretation. This is a pretty outrageous statement and required a lot more support to be convincing, but it was put forward as a truism.
