WXYZ television station, owned by The E.W. Scripps Company, produced a series exploring the lives of Muslims in metro Detroit. Over several weeks and through a number of short videos, the station profiled Muslim Americans and helped to explain their religion. This is one of several pieces in that series.

The infographics for WXYZ’s Muslim AMERICAN project were provided by Michigan State University’s School of Journalism.

The illustrations, produced by Cody Harrell, were used in “100 Questions and Answers About Muslim Americans," one of the books in the school’s ongoing series on cultural competence.
