play list - 04/16/2009 - Islam

today's religion interview was islam with Rauf Mir. we talked about the koran, the five pillars of islam, islamic law, and even Greg Mortenson and his book "three cups of tea". he brought in several songs, but i didn't get the song names for this list. since islam is most prevalent in northern africa and the middle east (thank you wikipedia!) i started the show by playing music from that region. we were going to finish with some Cat Stevens (aka Yusaf Islam after he converted to islam), but that track on the cd didn't work. so here's a video of my favorite Cat Stevens songs from one of my favorite movies, rushmore:
