The Oregon Muslim Bar Association is holding its 4th Annual Ramadan Iftar party open to everyone in the community. This wonderful tradition has welcomed hundreds of guests, including students, families, politicians, judges, legal and non legal professionals, as well as attorneys from all over the world. We are excited to welcome back a musical performance by the world famous violinist, Daniel Shaheen Moltke.

Attendance will be free of charge. We are asking guests to bring a dessert or beverage to share, which will be appreciated, but it is not mandatory. Location address and carpooling information will be sent prior to the event upon confirmation of RSVP to [email protected]

Eid Al Adha Mubarak From the Oregon Muslim Bar Association

This is now a must-read article. By taking down the Columbia Law Review website to override its editors to censor this article on the Nakba (the Arabic term for the events of 1948, when many Palestinians were?displaced?from their?homeland?by the creation of the new state of Israel) the board of directors guaranteed the article a much broader readership. The link to the article is in the comments. Last November, the Harvard Law Review made the unprecedented decision to kill a fully edited essay prior to publication by the same author, Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah. That article was subsequently republished by The Nation. The link to that piece is also in the comments. Folks, there can be no clearer demonstration of the Palestine exception to free speech.
