Summary: Last year, PBS stations across the country aired the movie ldquo;On a Wing and a Prayer: An American Muslim Learns to Fly.rdquo; Over the course of 60 minutes viewers were introduced to Monem Salam, a Muslim American of Pakistani origin trying to get his pilotrsquo;s license. Along the way viewers met his family, visited his workplace and went with him as he spoke with members of a Christian church about his Muslim faith. And, in the end, were rewarded with a birdrsquo;s eye view of Salamrsquo;s first solo flight. But his journey wasnrsquo;t always easy. There were rickety planes to deal with, one flight school that wouldnrsquo;t talk with him as well as a film crew to contend with. But, as Salam tells Rosemary Pennington, it was well worth the trouble. Monem Salam is a financial adviser living and working in the Pacific Northwest, as well as a member of the executive board of the Islamic Society of North America.
