Dear MEMRI Subscriber,
During the holiday season, many people search for ways to mark this time of year that carries special significance for them. MEMRI offers an opportunity to mark special events in a unique way.
For 10 years MEMRI has been committed to bringing reformists in the Arab and Muslim world to the attention of the West, exposing antisemitism in the Arab and Muslim media, researching Islamist ideology and Islamist organizations that threaten the West, and promoting a greater understanding and awareness of the Middle East media and assist those who are fighting the War on Terror.
Now, you can help MEMRI broaden its impact by using the new MEMRI E-Tribute Card Platform (https://secure3.convio.net/memri/site/Donation2?df_id=1260&1260.donation=form1)
MEMRI E-TRIBUTES ARE AN INNOVATIVE AND "GREEN" WAY TO SPREAD AWARENESS OF IMPORTANT CAUSES WHILE DONATING TO MEMRI
MEMRI E-Tributes (https://secure3.convio.net/memri/site/Donation2?df_id=1260&1260.donation=form1) are an innovative and "green" way to spread awareness of these important causes while sending season’s greetings to friends and family, introducing them to MEMRI while at the same time donating to MEMRI and helping its major projects keep operating.
Since its inception, MEMRI has relied upon the generosity of our donors, including many of our subscribers, to produce primary source translations and original analyses that enable government, law enforcement, legislating bodies, academia, the media, and the public to gain a more in-depth understanding of the complexities of the Middle East.
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DIRECT YOUR DONATION TOWARD ANY OF MEMRI’S PREMIER PROJECTS USING OUR NEW E-TRIBUTE CARD PLATFORM (https://secure3.convio.net/memri/site/Donation2?df_id=1260&1260.donation=form1) IN HONOR OF A BIRTHDAY, TO MARK A SPECIAL EVENT, OR IN MEMORY OF A LOVED ONE.
THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE SUPPORTED BY USING MEMRI'S E-TRIBUTE CARD PLATFORM
JIHAD & TERRORISM STUDIES PROJECT (www.memri.org/jihad.html): This project provides research about Islamist ideology and Islamist organizations that threaten the West. The research assists Western governments and academia in better understanding militant Islam, terrorism, and terrorism-sponsoring countries. MEMRI’s Jihad & Terrorism Studies Project also monitors groups that educate and preach jihad and martyrdom in mosques, school systems, and the media.
REFORM PROJECT (www.memri.org/reform.html): This project monitors advocates of reform in the Arab and Muslim world and the obstacles they face in advancing their cause. The goal of this project is to provide reformists with a platform from which they can reach out to their societies and to religious, political, and educational leaders while also providing Western policy makers with a solid basis for long-term strategic plans aimed at supporting this effort. MEMRI has provided a platform for activists in areas including: social reform and civil society; reform in state education and political systems; women's rights; the impact of Arab reformists in their own countries; pro-reform conferences and petitions; and criticism of extremist mainstream Muslim clerics. In addition, MEMRI is working behind the scenes on multiple projects, involving reform websites, reform institutions, reformist associations, and blog networks in the Arab world.
ANTISEMITISM DOCUMENTATION PROJECT (www.memri.org/antisemitism.html): Antisemitism in the Arab world and Iran has evolved rapidly in recent years, from various sources: Islamic origins that go so far as to call for killing Jews in sermons and in the media; European libels and stereotypes; and Nazi propaganda. MEMRI's Antisemitism Documentation Project documents antisemitic themes in Arabic, Farsi, and Turkish newspaper reports, editorials, and other media sources. This project, which consists of thousands of pages of translations and hundreds of hours of footage from the MEMRI TV Project, maintains the largest archive in the world of translated Arabic, Farsi and Turkish material on antisemitism from the past decade.
ARAB & IRANIAN TV MONITORING PROJECT (www.memritv.org): This project has so far produced nearly 1,900 clips, totaling more than 14,000 hours of footage – the largest archives of such material in the world. MEMRI TV is viewed in 211 countries around the world, and to date over 20 million visitors have accessed its website. The MEMRI TV Project monitors over 50 channels from Iran and the Arab world, around the clock. No one else – including NGOs – does such work.
