Community Iftar and Film Screening!
Saturday, February 28th at 5:45 pm CST
Join us for an iftar to break our Ramadan fast and connect with one another. Prior to Maghrib, we will be screening the documentary “I’d Rather Be Dead Than Silent”. Program begins promptly at 5:45pm followed by Maghrib prayer and an iftar meal.
Muslim Space will provide the meal and we kindly ask you to RSVP so we can properly accommodate.
This will take place at the Main Hall of COTS (3402 Little Elm Trail, Cedar Park, TX 78613) and is open to all.

Professor El Fadl is an Islamic jurist, human rights advocate, and one of the fiercest critics of Wahhabism and the Saudi regime. His refusal to stay silent makes him a lightning rod: vilified, threatened, and nearly killed for his words.
Surrounded by a private library of half a million books — some banned for centuries — Khaled fights for an Islam rooted in pluralism, democracy, and justice.
At his side is Grace Song, his wife and partner, who shares in the danger and the defiance. Together they confront assassination attempts, smear campaigns, and the loneliness of standing against power.
I’d Rather Be Dead Than Silent is a visceral portrait of courage under siege — a film that dares to ask what silence costs in an age of rising hate.
