DESCRIPTION:The Oakland Asian Cultural Center will rescreen filmmaker, writer, artist 
 and social activist Mara Ahmed’s film\n \nThe Muslims I Know\n A 
 documentary written and produced by Mara Ahmed \n\nThursday, April 19, 
 2018\nFilm Starts: 7:30pm \n \nDoors Open: 7:15pm / Event: 7:30pm - 9:30pm 
 \n \nThe 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. \nTHE 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 \n----- The Muslims I 
 Know (2008) 58 minutes\n \nFree and Open to the Public\n \nFilm screening 
 will be followed by Q & A with Mara Ahmed via skype\n
