Salman Ahmad grew up in both Pakistan and the United States. Trained as an M.D., Ahmad has traded in his stethoscope for a guitar and performs with his group, Junoon.  They’ve sold 25 million albums and are wildly popular in Asia.  Ahmad is a devout Muslim and tells Anne Strainchamps that he sees nothing in his religion that forbids music, and explains why he thinks some clerics are so strict. And we hear some of his music.
