After 1.e4 c5  2.c3 d5  3.exd5 Qxd5  4.d4 Nf6  5.Nf3 Bg4  6.Be2 e6, the fairly recent book "Play the 2.c3 Sicilian" by Rozentalis and Harley suggest: 7.h3 Bh5 8.c4 is slightly better for White.  Btw they suggest that 6.dxc5 is White's most dangerous attempt.

  The Anti-Sicilians are the bane of the existence of the Sicilian players unless you beat them at their own game.  The Anti-Sicilians are played by people who are either afraid of the main lines, don't want to WORK out a repertoire in the open lines or just want to play something a little more sedate.  The secret is to out work them at their own game.   Most will follow a book or some other guide.  Study the various books and lines reccomended in these books and outplay them in their own lines.  A Sicilian player will gain many points by study on these lines.  You can't prevent it, so just beat them at their own game.   Spend more time on the Anti-Sicilians than your main lines.  You will be paid back in full with points.
