“It could have been a failure of conversation. It could have been a failure of imagination. It happens all the time. It happens to me. There are lots of people that I debate, disagree with, and then I feel like I don’t ever want to talk to again. I don’t want to see that person again. But I have to fight that within me. And I think that Sam and Maajid did a wonderful job showing us all that it is not only possible but it’s incredibly important to carry on these conversations. ”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

“How refreshing to read an honest yet affectionate exchange between the Islamist-turned-liberal-Muslim Maajid Nawaz and the neuroscientist who advocates mindful atheism, Sam Harris... Their back-and-forth clarifies multiple confusions that plague the public conversation about Islam. ”

Irshad Manji, New York Times Book Review, 2015

“This honest and intelligent dialogue is a superb exploration of the intellectual and moral issues involved. ”

Steven Pinker

“The conversation that Sam and Maajid have had has opened up a huge opportunity for everyone in the world to talk about something that people are afraid to talk about. ”
