Subject: [postanarchism] islam & punk


related to the subject of anarchism & islam..

i keep hearing about this new novel, which was
originally self-published but autonomedia picked it
up, about islamic punk rockers in the US. two people i
know read it and said it was really good, i am quite
interested from can't back it up with personal
experience. from autonomedia's website:

'Taqwacores',Michael Muhammad Knight (Autonomedia)

'The Taqwacores' vividly depicts day-to-day life in a
Muslim punk house in Buffalo, New York. Characters
include Rabeya, a burqa-clad riot grrl; Umar, a
straightedge Sunni; Muzammil Sadiq, who struggles
against orthodox Islamic homophobia; and Jehangir
Tabari, a drunken Sufi saint who dreams of putting on
a Muslim Punk show in Buffalo.

Both entertaining and serious, The Taqwacores tackles
sex, drugs, and yes, rocknroll, through the prism of
observant (yet all-too-human) muslim mohicans and
straight edgers.
