Great piece, I really enjoyed it. Very powerful showing the thoughts of an imam born outside the country and how he's come to think of America. One question: What are Bosnian Muslims, Sunni or Shi'a, or is there no distinction?

Thanks! The Bosnians are Sunni, and it's a majority Sunni Mosque. However, the imam said that a few Shi'a also attend.
