Please join us for a special Ed Ul-Adha celebration and film premiere of the new documentary Inside Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think, at McAlister auditorium.  Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Inside Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think, a new documentary film from Unity Productions Foundation, explores the expertly gathered opinions of Muslims around the globe as revealed in the world’s first major opinion poll, conducted by Gallup, the preeminent polling organization. Focused on the issues of Gender Justice, Terrorism, and Democracy – the film presents remarkable data deftly, challenging the popular notion that Muslims and the West are on a collision course.

Here’s an example: Technology is an important element of Islam in the West. We have so many Muslim engineers, scientists, computer specialists.

The most appealing answer will be given the tickets. Video comments would be very cool too. Screening will be on Sunday, April 26 at 3pm in San Francisco. More details here: http://fest09.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=63
