30 Mosques in 30 Days

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 16, 2010

With the start of Ramadan last Wednesday, standup comedian Aman Ali and filmmaker Bassam Tariq embarked on a summer-end road trip of a different kind.  Their quest: to spend every night of Ramadan in a different mosque in a different state.  Ali and Tariq, co-creators of 30 Mosques in 30 Days - a blog documenting their exploration of NYC's mosques last year - call in to share what they're now learning about Muslim communities around the U.S.
