 events of 9/11 have created much interest in Islam and Muslims. Mainstream 
 media have responded to this demand for information with generalizations 
 and stereotypes. America’s community of Muslims longs to be a part of the 
 discourse. THE MUSLIMS I KNOW is a documentary that gives them a chance to 
 be heard and understood through dialogue with non-Muslim Americans. \n\nThe 
 underlying idea is to highlight similarities between Islam and other 
 Abrahamic faiths and to celebrate the cultural richness and diversity 
 brought into the American mix by Muslim communities. It is also a much 
 needed platform for moderate Muslims to express their views about what’s 
 happening in the world. By being both American and Muslim they have a 
 unique insight into the complex inner workings of American foreign policy 
 and the role of the media. \n\nFilm Screening will be followed by Q & A 
 with Mara Ahmed \n\nThe Muslims I Know (2008) 58 minutes \n\nPresented in 
 conjunction with \n\n'This Heirloom' A Graphic Collage Exhibition \nOpening
