Thanks to weavehole for the forwarded e-mail.
Hello
Nearly 70 people gathered at a fundraising dinner on January 27 at a gastropub in West London to support One Law for All and the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain. A C Grayling was the eventâs keynote speaker. Guests also heard from comedian Nick Doody, Magician Neil Edwards, Singer/Songwriter David Fisher, campaign organiser Maryam Namazie and MC Fariborz Pooya.
You can see AC Grayling's speech on the concept of one law for all here:

One Law for All 100 Club was announced at the dinner. The Club aims to secure 100 donors willing to donate £10 or more a month towards the campaign.
The steady donations will be instrumental in allowing us to organise our activities for the coming year, including a March 8, 2010 seminar on Sharia law in Britain (see booking form below), an art gallery show in Spring, a June 20 rally, a concert in the Fall, a December 11 conference on apostasy and Sharia laws as well as a survey of women who have been to Sharia councils and tribunals and a âknow your rightsâ legal campaign.
We will also continue raising awareness via the media and various speaking engagements. To hear a recent discussion we had in support of banning the burka on Irelandâs Newstalk radio and read articles about a recent debate on womenâs rights trumping religious laws at the UCD Law Society in Dublin, click here: http://www.onelawforall.org.uk/media-coverage/.
We will also continue writing about the issue whenever possible. You can read a recent article on Sharia law in the Independent World Report, here: http://www.independentworldreport.com/2010/02/vs-sharia/.
If you are able to join the One Law for All 100 Club, please click here for further information and a standing order mandate form: http://www.onelawforall.org.uk/donate/.
We rely solely on your support to push forward our campaign against Sharia and religious laws and in support of secularism and universal rights so please do take the time to help if you can. No amount is too little or too big for that matter.
Thanks again.
Best wishes
Maryam
