Looks like this one is sponsored by one of the true reform voices, the American Islamic Congress: 2008 Muslim Film Festival. "Think different Women". Haven't seen any announcements on the Muslim American Society list...hmmm...Miss Kelly has a look:

...So did I hear about this film festival from the local Muslim American Society or the Islamic Society of Boston or the local college Muslime-mail notices about screenings of Occupation 101 or Gaza Strip, which provides a "look inside the stark realities of Palestinian life and death under Israeli military occupation." But not a peep, not one e-mail about the Think-Different Women film festival. This series includes the movie Shadya (screening this Wednesday at BU, 6:30 PM), about 17-year old Shadya Zoabi, who is "a world champion in karate, a feminist in a male-dominated culture and a Muslim Arab living in Israel." An Israeli citizen who's an Arab Muslim wins the 2003 World Shotokan Karate Champion? Oopsy, that doesn't fit the desperate Palestinian victim narrative, does it?...

Indeed. Interesting line up of films.
