Ep 32. Imam Amir Salihovic
As a shy child in communist Yugoslavia, Amir Salihovic never pictured himself leading prayers as an Imam, especially since his teachers taught that there was no such thing as God. But as civil war broke out, he found himself driven by persecution to study more deeply the religion he was being persecuted for being a part of.
Now he leads an Islamic Society of Bosniaks, where he appreciates religious freedom and teaches his community to treasure their past while becoming proud, productive Americans.
