i'm super fascinated ito speaking to you as a moslem, is there a similar case to be made there? N cause you've made a case for why moslems should care about institutions through your creative retailing. Is there a similar retelling, refashioning of the is mic narrative that would say, hey, we ought to really value pluralistic democracy.? Ye. So i think it's a great qi. Love that question, curtis.
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.
