Lansing area Muslims are being led by a new Imam. Sohail Chaudhry comes to the Islamic Center of East Lansing from West Virginia.Imam Chaudhry grew up in Pakistan. He and his wife have a two-year-old son, and what appealed to him about East Lansing was its Islamic school.  The Imam moved to Morgantown at the age of 17 to pursue a degree in computer engineering at West Virginia University.

Current State’s Scott Pohl speaks with Imam Chaudhry about his work in Morgantown and his early impressions of Michigan.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
