Abstract
More Muslim is a show that explores the Muslim experience, with all its messiness.
Each episode is a narrative, transhistorical journey into one aspect of the Muslim experience that defined or is being defined by the modern world. This capstone forms the first two episodes of the series. Episode 1, "When Memes Meet Sufis," explores the question of how Rumi, a Muslim scholar from the 13th century, became the best-selling poet in the US. Episode 2, "The Halal Meat Conundrum," is a firsthand journey into the American halal meat industry and attempts to understand how halal became a $20 billion industry in the US but still remains widely unregulated and susceptible to fraud.
The latest version of this project can be found at salmanahad.com/capstone/.
