 produced by Mara Ahmed \n\nThe events of 9/11 have created much interest in 
 Islam and Muslims. Mainstream media have responded to this demand for 
 information with generalizations and stereotypes. America’s community of 
 Muslims longs to be a part of the discourse. THE MUSLIMS I KNOW is a 
 documentary that gives them a chance to be heard and understood through 
 dialogue with non-Muslim Americans. \n\nThe underlying idea is to highlight 
 similarities between Islam and other Abrahamic faiths and to celebrate the 
 cultural richness and diversity brought into the American mix by Muslim 
 communities. It is also a much needed platform for moderate Muslims to 
 express their views about what’s happening in the world. By being both 
 American and Muslim they have a unique insight into the complex inner 
 workings of American foreign policy and the role of the media.
