Exhibitions: The Synopsis

The Pillars of True Muslim(13th February)

Today, Islam is always been related to terrorism. Undeniably, any terrorist acts will always be related to Muslims. Yet, there is one question rise is that why there are still people who want to be a Muslim even it is related to terrorism. It's a good question to be asked to all the Muslim. Those who do research in Islam will become astonished with the fact that Islam is so perfect and so amazing. Thus, This exhibition will reveal the reality of true pillars in Islam which gives a great impact to all TRUE Muslims.

Is There A God In This World? If so…(18th February)

This is a question that has been debated for thousands of years. People ponder this as it is a natural human instinct to find one `powerful being' that governs this world. Yet, is there really a god in this world? This question sometimes struck our mind without us being notice at all. Thus, we the Muslim Culture Society would be delightful to answer this question in our exhibition.

Jesus: Clashes between Christianity and Islam(19th February)

Christians and Muslims both believe that Jesus exists. Yet the question rise here is that both of them have different thought in believing it and there is a lot of clashes in his history. Thus, it gives 2 different schools of thought in believing the existence of Jesus. This Exhibition will divulge deeply into this matter and allow both Muslims and Christians to understand the reason and differences in chronology which contradicts between them.

Occupation 101-"Voice of Silenced Majority"


Date:13th February 2008

Place and time: Boole 1 7.00pm-9.00pm

Admission: FREE, Open to Public


Synopsis

A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.

The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.

The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy
