In Search of the Minnesota Muslim

Hello All,

KFAI is part of a project (cosponsored by the University of Minnesota's Institute for Global Studies) that seeks to give voice to the Muslim community. As part of this project, KFAI is broadcasting and streaming a series of documentary clips about Muslims in Minnesota.

l was one of the contributors to this project. My piece "In Search of the Minnesota Muslim" will air on March 18, 2009, during the KFAI Evening News beginning at 6:00 pm US Central Time (2300 UTC). The clip is 6 minutes long (as are most of the others).

You can listen to this piece in the following ways:
- On air at 90.3FM Minneapolis, and 106.7FM St. Paul
- Live via the Internet at http://www.kfai.org/smil/kfailive.ram
- Via the program archives at http://www.kfai.org/news/full-programs (after the broadcast date and time)

“In Search of the Minnesota Muslim” is an exploration of Muslims lives in Minnesota.

The piece features Muslims from a variety of cultural and professional backgrounds talking about how they practice their faith, how it guides their lives, and how it positions them in the broader socio-cultural scene. The respondents include students, an accountant, a homemaker, a lawyer, an engineer, a business manager, and an Information Technology professional.

These individuals describe what it means to be a Muslim, the fundamental practices of the Islamic creed, how they try to live an Islamic life, and whether they are different from other Minnesotans. Their serious statements intermixed with some spontaneous humorous remarks and an uncommon twist or two, paint a richly textured picture of Muslim life in Minnesota.

Many thanks to those of you who contributed your views and voices to this documentary. I deeply appreciate your participation.

Subject: KFAI News Presents Muslims in Minnesota Radio Series

KFAI News launches a month-long series Tuesday, March 10, 2009, exploring
what it means to be Muslim in Minnesota. This series compiles stories
ranging from controversial to inspiring. Listeners will hear how a Muslim
immigrant struggles with questions of identity, law and faith after getting
arrested for a crime and facing possible deportation. One story shows how
some women are creating their own definition of feminism. Still another
story asks what drives Minnesota Hip Hop artists who intertwine their faith
with the pounding beats and steady rhythms of their art form. Some of the
stories are produced by Muslim reporters who bring their own perspectives
and insights to their work.

“Muslims in Minnesota” begins March 10, and will continue every Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday at 6pm during the KFAI Evening News, 90.3FM,
Minneapolis and 106.7FM, St. Paul. The stories along with pictures,
additional insights and links to helpful information will be found online at

Sangam playlist for 07 March, 2009

Hello,

Since it has not been bitterly cold for a few days, there now seems a vague chance that Spring may arrive in Minnesota someday. Meanwhile let us take comfort in music. (-:

Below is the playlist for last Saturday's show, March 07. Sorry, I couldn't get it out in advance; was buried in finishing my documentary clip for KFAI News' Muslims in Minnesota project. Listen for that clip, "In Search of the Minnesota Muslim", on KFAI Evening news on March 18 at 6:00 pm US Central Time.

Sangam's archived audiostream will be available for two weeks here: http://helix.kfai.org/ramgen/replay/Sangam/Sangam(2009-03-07).rm.

You may have to go to http://www.kfai.org/node/50 to satisfy conditions to access the stream.

I will be on the air next on March 14 and March 28. Yep, this is an artifact of some adjustments due to the other hosts schedules.

Regards.
