Muslim Punk
« on: October 13, 2009, 10:04:58 PM »
When Michael Muhammad Knight wrote his book The Taqwacores, he thought it was a fantasy.
The book, about a group of Muslim punk wannabes living a rock 'n' roll lifestyle in Buffalo, N.Y., has since come to life in a number of ways.

'We're not going to be spoon-fed our Islam. We're going to decide what it means to us.'
— Michael Muhammad Knight

Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.
