The Muslims in Michigan project was formed out a partnership between Michigan Radio and the University of Michigan Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies. This five part radio series examines life for Muslim people living in Michigan. Beyond religion, the series explores the cultural, political, ethnic, and social lives of this diverse group. This project also features film events, speakers, and a community conversation. The calendar can be found on the Events page.

The radio series premieres on April 12, 2010 and will air during Morning Edition and All Things Considered.

    Is there concern by the parents that as their children live within the larger community, they will change from traditional Muslim culture and religious practice?
  • Sarah G.
    That's definitely a concern. I hope it's brought up in the community discussion.
