DESCRIPTION:The Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California, located on Madison St. 
 in downtown Oakland, grows more active and engaged, serving the broad 
 community of Middle Eastern newcomers as well as longer term residents and 
 their families in the Bay Area.  The authors' series kicks off this Sunday, 
 Sept 25, with Alia Malek (see below) and continues into spring. This is the 
 first of several fascinating conversations intended for both the Islamic 
 community and the general public, and would make a great feature I believe. 
 If you wish more information, please contact Reza Rohani at the Center, 
 510-832-7600, or Sara Mostafavi, the ICCNC board member overseeing the 
 series, at info@sara-law.com or 510-898-2950.\n\n\nICCNC cordially invites

 Born in Baltimore to Syrian immigrant parents, she began her legal career

 Division. After working in the legal field in the U.S., Lebanon, and the 
 West Bank, Malek, who has degrees from Johns Hopkins and Georgetown 
 universities, earned her master's degree in journalism from Columbia

 groundbreaking collection of oral histories, Patriot Acts tells the stories 
 of men and women who have been needlessly swept up in the War on Terror. In 
 their own words, narrators recount personal experiences of the post-9/11 
 backlash that have deeply altered their lives and communities.\n \nFor more
