Our September meeting was held at Stephanie's house. The book discussed was Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. We discussed Sharon's book selection about Ali as a Somali-born member of the Dutch parliament. She faced death threats after collaborating on a film about domestic violence against Muslim women. The director of the short film, Theo van Gogh, was assassinated after the film was made.
On a much happier note we welcomed Gloria's oldest daughter to our meeting. Jane was visiting from Atlanta. We were very happy to have her join us.
Stephanie served a delicious light dinner of grilled chicken and vegetable sandwiches. The salad was wonderful and the healthy choice dessert was excellent. We had a great discussion about the book and about Muslim life.
Sharon led us in prayer after Angie requested prayers for Cliff who will under go surgery for throat cancer very soon. Thank you Sharon for an uplifting and beautiful prayer. And Angie, please keep us informed about Cliff's progress.
