In this fascinating conversation, Avi Abelow and Aryeh Green agree on nearly everything, yet their emphasis reveals a crucial difference. Aryeh focuses on the ideal: what would need to change theologically and culturally inside the Muslim world for genuine peace to become possible. Avi focuses on the reality: the 1,400-year ideology, the unbroken pattern of jihad following Mohammad’s ways in the Quran, and the practical danger of waiting for a reform that may never arrive, and that even if it did, would still leave the threat of jihadi Islam intact as a serious threat that can never be ignored.

Together they explore both the hopeful vision and the hard truths that most discussions today about Islam and Muslims refuse to confront.

‘Finding Peace in the Middle East’ is essential reading for anyone who wants to move past slogans and understand why lasting peace has remained impossible, and what would actually have to change inside the Muslim world for it to become possible.
