Most revolutions, they either end in the reign of terror, right? D, and by the way, one of the things i say all the time is, robes pierrs everywhere. That's what we have. We have robes piers everywhere. And again, we know all the failings of george washington, right? Like an and those failings ought to be recognized. He set into motion a society that can become better and better and better. So you can be both part of a revolution against the partit, and then the builder of a multicultural rainbow nation.

This week Eboo Patel, a Muslim pioneer in interfaith work, joins David and Curtis to discuss his book, We Need to Build. They discuss the need to allow people of different faiths to be able to bring their whole selves, including real and significant religious disagreements, to these conversations. Eboo also helps us understand why it is so important to do more than criticize what we don’t like in the culture, but instead to adopt the more mature approach of actually building what we want to see in society.
