In the second part of his journey, Rageh looks at how America's Muslims have coped with the aftermath of the events of 9/11, exploring the demands of patriotism and belief.

Meeting with believers and scholars, he looks at how the boundaries of "traditional" Islam are being pushed, and asks whether America is in fact witnessing a reformation that can sow the seeds of reconciliation.
