Thursday, June 9, 7 PM: Conscientious Projector Presents "Jihad for Love"in Fellowship Hall–1924 Cedar St. Berkeley
Islam today is the world’s second largest and fastest growing religion. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma travels the many worlds of this dynamic faith, discovering the stories of its most unlikely storytellers: lesbian and gay Muslims. “A Jihad for Love” was filmed in 12 countries and 9 languages and comes from the heart of Islam. Looking beyond a hostile and war-torn present, it reclaims the Islamic concept of a greater Jihad, whose true meaning is akin to ‘an inner struggle’ or ‘to strive in the path of God’ - allowing its remarkable subjects to move beyond the narrow concept of Jihad as holy war.
Sponsored by the BFUU Social Justice Committee as part of our Conscientious Projector series. Wheelchair accessible.
Suggested donation $5 – $20. No one turned away for lack of funds!
