What does it mean to be Muslim? To be Arab? As Arab-American Muslims, how do you approach your Islam, your Arab culture, in an American society, compared to how your cousins may approach Islam back in the homeland? Come out tomorrow and watch the award-winning film that Michael Moore said I want everyone in this country to watch - Fordson: Faith, Fasting & Football (7.4 IMDB/89% Rotten Tomatoes). The movie follows a predominately Arab-American high school football team from Dearborn, Michigan during the last ten days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and unearths the story of a community desperately holding onto its Islamic faith while struggling to gain acceptance in post 9-11 America. After the film, Professor Khadidja Arfi will lead a discussion on Being Arab & Muslim in America and in the Arab World: Continuity & Change. FREE BAKLAVA AND COFFEE!!! Doors open 6:15 pm in MCCB (McCarty B) room G086! Watch the trailer here: https://youtube/watch?v=Jr27a7uQOGA
