Ask Monem and Iman Salam questions about their Islam religion and about their lives as Muslims in Whatcom County. They moved to Bellingham five years ago. The parents of three children, Monem is a financial manager and Iman is a homemaker. Their family is the focus of a new one-hour documentary, “On a Wing and a Prayer: An American Muslim Learns to Fly,” made by a Bellingham company, Hand Crank Films. More than an account of Monem’s effort to obtain his private pilot’s license, the movie explores the life of a modern Muslim family in small-town America.
