How the Muslim diaspora shaped the West

There is no fixed identity for those who practice Islam, it’s as varied as its people. Omar Mouallem joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his travels to 13 mosques across the Americas trying to understand what it means to different people to be Muslim and what role the religion plays in the fabric of the places they live. His book is called “Praying to the West: How Muslims Shaped the Americas.”
