Pakistan Flood Relief Fundraising Dinner – October 3, 7pm @ Turkish Society of Rochester (677 Beahan Rd)

Over 18 million people affected. Over 1 million houses damaged. Almost 3,000 injured and 2,000 dead. The statistics are overwhelming, and the situation is one that calls for our help.

Here’s what you can do:

Attend the event:

Tickets are $15 each, and WILL NOT be sold at the door. To reserve, call the ICR at 442-0117. The program includes dinner; speeches by Mayor Robert Duffy, Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel, and Dr. Ismail Mehr, who traveled to Pakistan to aid in relief efforts; and silent and podium auctions. All profits go towards relief efforts, so your donations will be put to good use.

Volunteer:

We need volunteers to serve food to tables and babysit. If you are interested in doing either of those, write on the event wall and tell us what you can help out with. All volunteers will receive free dinner, but we can only accept 15-20 people, so you must let us know beforehand.

Publicize:

Tell your family, friends, professors, coworkers, and anyone else you know. The event is open to the entire Rochester community (Muslims and non-Muslims), and the more people we can get to attend, the more money we can send to aid the flood victims.

We encourage you to get involved; this is one of the worst disasters that has ever affected Pakistan, and it is a project that requires as much participation from the community as possible.

Platini threatens to annul Israel’s membership of the European Union of Football Associations

The president of the European Union of Football Associations (UAFA), Michel Platini, has threatened to annul Israel’s membership to the union because of the restrictions it imposes on Palestinian football players. He added; “We accepted them in Europe and furnished them the conditions for membership and they must respect the letter of the laws and international regulations otherwise there is no justification for them to remain in Europe. He continued; “Israel must choose between allowing Palestinian sport to continue and prosper or be forced to face the consequences for their behaviour.” Full article.

Assassination as art? Or simply wrong?

What is art? That is the question many Brazilians have been forced to ask themselves after the country’s most important alternative art show displayed nine drawings depicting the assassination of world leaders. Each charcoal drawing shows the artist, Gil Vicente of Recife, Brazil, holding a weapon moments before assassinating a world leader… A respected Brazilian legal organization asked that the ‘assassination’ works by Vicente be pulled from the exhibit, saying that freedom of expression has limits and the works incite violence akin to terrorism. The organizers, the Bienal Foundation, refused, saying while the views expressed by artist do not represent the organizers, it would be against free speech to pull the plug on the exhibit.
