[OccupyComms] This Weekend - Norwich Invitaton

[Mark Barrett]

Dear All

Please note and share about the two events in Norwich (see below and
attached) this weekend and also some info about the Norwich Muslim
community.

We have an interesting community here in the form of  Ihsan Mosque
http://www.muslimsofnorwich.org.uk/ and its academic arm MFAS
http://themuslimfaculty.org/

The MFAS study on existentialism and freedom in today's world may be of
particular interest:

The mosque was originally founded, and is still led by a majority of (but
not exclusively) western converts, with sister communities around the world
and a distinctively critical political and economic outlook. Here is
a 1 minute video about the community

And here is the event info for sharing.

*What is Freedom? The first in a series of public meetings, and the launch
of a new campaign.*

*Sunday March 22nd, 2pm - 4pm followed by community dinner at 5pm*


*All WelcomeIhsan Mosque, 17 Chapel Field East, Norwich, Norfolk NR2 1SF*
Norwich is known for its independence of thought, dissident tradition and
early adoption of progressive civic principles. This year, that of the
800th anniversary of Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest, and an
uncertain general election, is an opportunity to rediscover the freedom,
personal sovereignty and just governance as understood by these great
Charters' founders. And to join forces for the real alternative: a new,
inclusive settlement and civic reality.

But what is freedom? Are people actually free today? And, are you free to
come to this meeting? If you are someone who takes freedom seriously, you
are cordially invited to join us, and please share this invitation with the
wider community.

and Security Act. Please share about these events, thanks companer at s!
