Taqwacore - Birth of Punk Islam

Ok so I'll admit to not having had the chance to read the entire article, but what i had time to read, i found it interesting and wanted to post a link to the doc, and the site i found out about it on. It's not necessarily religious; way more political, actually. (and shout out to the all female and queer-fronted band in the movement, 'The Secret Trial Five'.)

The movie was good. I have the book somewhere, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

Well if its from a political perspective then its just regular ol' punk to me. But mixing religion with any kind of musical genre is not my cup of tea, AT ALL!!
