Islam And The Future Of Tolerance– A Harvard Discussion Between Sam Harris & Maajid Nawaz

12 comments

Ahead of the November 3rd release of ‘Islam and the Future Of Tolerance: A Dialogue’ –
a book collaboration between Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz – both men sat down in conversation before a Harvard audience a little while ago.

I’ve always admired both men’s willingness to seek out dialogue with those who hold different, or even wildly opposing worldviews. Actual dialogue mind you, not point scoring and inflammatory rhetoric, but a genuine, civil exchange of ideas. I’ve become somewhat disillusioned with the typical debate format over the years.

Taking The Myth – 26 July 2015 – Faith Schools

Leave a comment

 

 

This week on Taking The Myth, Stephen Knight and A Scotsman Abroad discuss the big topics with guest callers. Topics include: The Muslim Faith School threatening to expel students for mixing with ‘outsiders’, David Cameron’s recent speech on extremism, Maajid Nawaz, the state of modern Journalism and so-called ‘experts’. We also wonder whether digital content can also limit horizons. A Scotsman Abroad also lays out his proposal* for dealing with murderous extremists.

*Definitely a joke. I think. Likely a joke. I hope he’s joking.
