Heina Dadabhoy

A ninja warrior welcomes guests to Convergence/Skepchickcon

Boston Skeptics welcomes our January guest speaker, atheist feminist secular humanist (and many other positive adjectives) blogger Heina Dadabhoy.

Heina will be speaking about her path from Islam to atheism. She is currently writing a book called A Skeptic’s Guide to Islam, which will be published in March and is available for preorder on Amazon.

A Skeptic’s Guide to Islam



Location: We will be meeting at 7PM on Monday, January 25, 2016 on the third floor of The Hong Kong Restaurant, 1238 Mass Ave in Harvard Square, Cambridge. Please come a little early if possible to order dinner, a snack or drinks and chat with your fellow Skeptics.

RSVP if that’s your thing on our Facebook event page. (It’s not required, but does give us some idea how many people are planning to attend.)

Movie Club: The Revisionaries

In keeping with this month’s theme of religion in the classroom, The Revisionaries, a documentary about the Texas State Board of Education’s textbook selection process, is showing at the Somerville Theater as part of the Boston Independent Film Festival on Monday, April 30 at 6:45 PM.

For a sample of what to expect, see former Texas SBOE Chairman Don McLeroy on the Colbert Report a few days ago.

The Texas Monthly published a summary of the rave reviews for the film, which premiered last Saturday at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

We should try to meet up in front of the theater at about 6:30.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office. RSVP on Facebook.

P.S. If you still feel some of those pesky brain cells clogging up your cranium, there is still time to see American Juggalo tonight at the same theater.
