Others are less known to the public, though they help shape some of our most popular movies and TV shows.

Drawing on their faith to fuel their work (or help make fun of life), some of these Hollywood folks have been working the scene for years, while others are just starting to make their mark. From shows like "Sleeper Cell" and "The Daily Show" to movies like The House of Sand and Fog and Independence Day, these Muslims have steadily and quietly produced a stellar body of Hollywood work.

Dubai International Airport is set to take over London’s Heathrow Airport as the busiest in the world by 2015, said Willie Walsh, CEO of International Airlines Group.
In a statement at the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, Walsh said that the UAE’s tax-free system has facilitated the aviation industry boom, reported UAE based Gulf News on Thursday.
He noted that Gulf airlines are among the most advanced in the world.
“Gulf airlines are the most progressive at the international level: Etihad, Emirates and Qatar Airways for example, as they benefit from the tax free systems to improve their performance and to expand further,” stated Walsh.
