In his talk, Amos Guiora will discuss the topic of his book, Freedom from Religion. In his book, Prof. Guiora invites policy-makers and concerned citizens to consider an unusual technique for curtailing the threat of new terrorist attacks: curtailing religious freedom. He argues that Western and Middle Eastern tolerance of religious extremism has led to the current security crisis that our world now faces. By exploring the different policies and challenges arising in five countries (the U.S., The UK, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Israel), Prof. Guiora adds a novel argument to the global debate on religion's relationship to terror.
