30 Mosques in 30 Days: An American Trip

Day 25, Cedar Rapids, Iowa
"Iowa is known for its cornfields, and I have never run through a cornfield before," Bassam says. "Our good friend Ridwan decided to take us on a small trek through some corn. Unfortunately, he wore shorts and kept on getting bit by mosquitoes. Here, he tries to slap one off his leg. Was he successful? No."
