Salman Ahmed wants to reach out to young American Muslims. Since September 11, 2001, the US is a changed country... especially for Muslims. Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the US, yet one in four Americans regard Muslims living among them with suspicion. And what if you are an American and a Muslim?
This program follows Salman Ahmed, founding member of successful rock band Junoon, as he explores what it means to be an American Muslim these days. Salman talks to taxi drivers, students and law reform campaigners, including a mother whose desperate search for her Muslim son after 9/11 turned her into a political activist. He also speaks to a group of Muslim comics, a new force in the fight to combat mutual fear and suspicion. But is there such a difference between American and Islamic values?
