What: Discussion Group
When: Thursday, Feb 11th 7:00pm
Where: Plainview-Old Bethpage Library (999 Old Country Road, Plainview NY)
Topic: Islamism, Feminism, Dawkins...Oh My!!!
For
those of you who don't know, there is once again a shitstorm occurring within
the Skeptics, Atheist, Humanist, Freethought (SAHF) world. It's a long
story, but essentially it was precipitated by a video claiming a similarity
between Islamism and Radical Feminism which Richard Dawkins retweeted.
Rather
than try to write an essay on the entire situation, I've included below a link
to a comprehensive blog entry by Massimo Pigliucci on this matter. Within
Massimo's piece are links to the actual video as well as some other related
comments from people who are at the center of the storm.
I hope
we can discuss this further at this discussion group meeting.

ALSO:
We will be discussing future topics and planning for this and other future
CFI-LI events. I urge anyone interested in the future of CFI-LI to attend
this meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you on
Thursday, Feb 11th.
