Muslims, Mosques, and American Identity (Encore)
November 02, 2010 Tuesday AT 3PM CT

 
 
What goes on in mosques in America? Are mosques a part of the tradition of religious pluralism in America? Can a Muslim be an American? Islamic Studies luminary Akbar Ahmed traveled for a year around the country, visiting over a hundred mosques to find out how Muslims are living every day in America. We want to know about the mosques in your hometown, whether you're a member of the Muslim community or not. What's your experience? We'll collect your responses at insideislam.wisc.edu or on our hotline: 1-877-GLOBE07 and use the best of the them in the program. Rebroadcast from 11/02/2010.
