A Documentary by Katie Barlow : Sunday, 29th July 2007, 9am-12 noon, Islamic Arts Museum
What drives a young well-educated Westerner to volunteer as a "peace activist" in the Middle East? Caiomhe Butterly is one of a growing number of volunteers who risk their own safety to intervene in the long-running and bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine. Several internationals, including her, have now been injured. Some have died.
In this film, she describes witnessing the aftermath of the attack on Jenin in April 2002. this film follows her work, the main emphasis being "the accompaniment of communities at risk". Despite being threatened, shot in the leg and deported later that year, she is determined to go back.In the interim, she brings her story back to her native Ireland at public meetings, receives a Time Magazine "European Hero Award", and travels to post-war Iraq to visit the Palestinian refugee camps. She arrives back in Jenin, shortly before a young woman from that community, Hanadi Jaradat, blows herself up in a suicide bombing in Haifa.
Activist such a Butterly are usually stereotyped as lunatics, meddlers or saints. this film offers an insight into a brave, honest, determined yet self-critical woman who takes direct action to the limit, with no quest for glory. She also serves as a conduit into the everyday lives of Palestinians, who are also usually presented to the viewer in a one-dimensional way, as fighters or victims, heroes or fanatics. This film gives us a rare chance to see what she calls "the spaces of beauty and joy" created by a people under occupation.
We invite you to RSVP and join us for the documentary screening on Sunday 29th July 2007, 9am-12noon at the Auditorium, Islamic Arts Musem, Jalan Perdana, Kuala Lumpur.
Admission is FREE.

Marriage
haha seriously, only the whole kadi-speech & the environment make the ceremony of akad nikah 'pressurable'. It is a feeling like no other i bet. Gettin married to the person whom you wish to spend your whole lifetime with, share laughter & tears with, responsibilty & duties etc. but most of all, in the art of making lurrveeee & babieeessssss!
wat am tryin to say is, to all of my partners-in-crime, skas, i hope in the near future we will all get the same happiness and love once we're married(evn for now actualli). The future is uncertain, or shud i say, gharar (hehe). At any point of ur life, the decision that u make determines what lies ahead of you, the risk we shall all take one day, in steppin-in the marriage life.
anyhow, we shud all make a contract, say for the love of our sisterhood. hehe each contribute a certain amt of money. whomever marry 1st will b given the stash of moneyyyhhh. or maybe this, whn we hold Bacholerette Party, we will all belly dance n wear hot sexy clothes & perform for the bride-to-be! haha any other days, text it.

me, have a muslim identity? say what?!
HAPPY 070707 SKAs!
anywhooooooo, YMP is organizing our fortnighly talk about another unique discussion related to youths... What does it mean to have a Muslim Identity? Heck, what does ‘Muslim Identity’ even mean??? If you’re interested in finding out or even tossing in your own ideas and opinions then join us this Sunday afternoon for a session of knowledge, food & friends!
Brother Abdulhamid Evans will be our special guest speaker this time around. Listen in wonder as he shares with us his journey to Islam during the Hippie 60’s in England & Ireland. He has a self-described Ph.D in ‘Sex, Drugs & Rock’n’Roll’. Get the insight on how a small number of European Muslims did small things at a time to bring about big positive changes that last till this very day, especially in countries such as England, Germany & Spain.
Most importantly, find out how his journey to Islam in Europe has many parallels with what it’s like for young Muslims in Malaysia today & how we can strengthen our own faith and from it bring about positive changes.
