Surrealism is roughly defined as the use of dream imagery to liberate the mind from the strictures of consciousness and the limits of the waking world. If you want some good examples of surrealist art, Google "Indefinite Divisibility" by Yves Tanguy, "Ceci n'est pas un pipe" by Rene Magritte, or "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali.

I don't really do research on Muslim charities, because I don't need to see things to believe that someone from a religion can be good. Moreover, except the Middle East, most muslim countries are the ones in need of aid, they don't have the money to do charity on an international level. You should watch Al-Jazeera, you'll get actual information on the Islamic world there. They reported on a Muslim aid organisation once, which BBC and CNN all refused to broadcast. I can give you an example of a muslim state though. I live in one, where there is about a 2% minority of Christians, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and other religions. Everything from Eid to Buddha Purnima gets a national holiday here, and the constitution, aids, healthcare, taxes, is all equal for everyone. Absolutely no bias. Of course, fundies emerge now and then, but its not only from the Muslim side, and the govt always manages to take care of it. Edit: if your going to ignore posiitive comments just because there are no sources or links provided, maybe you should do your own research, instead of asking people on an answers forum.

As a female, you might want to explore some of the great women surrealists:

Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, Toyen, Leonora Carrington, Meret Oppenheim, Kay Sage, Alice Rahon, Leonor Fini, Valentine Hugo, Jacqueline Lamba, Dora Maar, Lee Miller, Valentine Penrose, Ithell Colquhoun, Emmy Bridgwater, Edith Rimmington, Grace Pailthorpe, Rita Kernn-Larsen, and Dorothea Tanning to name just a few...

My personal favorites are Remedios Varo and Frida Kahlo :)

An excellent book that you should check out is "Women Artists and the Surrealist Movement" by Whitney Chadwick. It details the lives, and gives voice to many of these great women.
