Who'd be a Muslim in America?

9/11 not only marked a monumental shift in terror but also radically affected life as a Muslim in the States.

With a high percentage of Americans believing Muslims travel on carpets carrying AK47s, Morgan Spurlock investigates.

Dave Stacey, a 33-year-old insurance salesman who loves pork will go and live with a Muslim family for 30 days.

When asked what he pictures when he hears the word 'Muslim' he says:

"I picture men with an AK47, and women with a sheet over their heads".

Did you know...?

Fifty years ago, America's view of the Arab world was of belly dancers, snake charmers and Arabian Nights.

There are currently about 8 million Muslims living in the US.

There are 1.8 million Muslims in the UK. Sixty per cent live in London and the South East.
