Imam Mohammed Tawhidi in conversation with Daniel PipesThe Crucial Role of Islamic Reform Date: Thursday, May 2, 2019 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm RSVP online The Middle East Forum cordially invites you to lunch with Imam Mohammed Tawhidi. How will the current threat of Islamism end? Only when Muslims understand their religion in a modern and moderate way – in other words, when reform Islam replaces Islamism. This will not happen quickly but, already, the beginnings of change can be seen, especially in Western countries where far more freedom of expression exists than in Muslim-majority countries. Imam Mohammed Tawhidi will review developments in reform Islam and then, in conversation with Daniel Pipes, discuss its prospects to push Islamism aside. Lunch and discussion from 12:00 to 1:30pm, followed by a short period of networking from 1:30 to 2:00pm. Business attire. Limited capacity. Picture I.D. required to enter the building. MEF's 25th Anniversary Gala in NYC Date: Sunday, May 19, 2019 6 PM to 10 PM RSVP online The year 2019 marks 25 years since the founding of the Middle East Forum. To celebrate a quarter-century of achievements, MEF is pleased to host a reception and dinner on Sunday, May 19, 2019, 6-10 pm in New York City. To honor our supporters, the event is complimentary to all donors who give $500 a year or more (or $1,000 per couple). For guests who give less than that, we request a $500 contribution per person. The evening will consist of a reception, dinner, honors, acknowledgments, and excellent presentations. In attendance will be: MEF's founding members, our national board of governors, distinguished writing fellows, grantees from around the globe, leaders of allied organizations, politicians, and special guests of honor. Having evolved into a "think & action tank" since our founding in 1994, we will celebrate some of our recent successes:
This celebration will be unlike any other MEF event to date and should not be missed. You will want to invite family and colleagues who do not yet donate to the Forum to make a contribution and be a part of an unforgettable evening filled with food, fun, and friends. Guests will have the opportunity to mix, mingle, and meet the people who have made MEF what it is today. Dress is black tie optional and we ask that you please RSVP by May 6. Hotel recommendations will be provided for out of town guests. This event synchronizes with Daniel Pipes' fact-finding expedition that leaves on May 20 for Warsaw, then Budapest and Vienna. While the event will be gratis to existing donors, we also hope to raise funds to cover the event's costs and fund our programs. In this spirit, we are offering sponsorship options for personal recognition or to promote a business: you will find these listed below. On behalf of the board and staff of the Middle East Forum, I hope you can join us in New York on May 19 as we mark this silver jubilee.
