What do white supremacy, Islam, and Rochester, NY have in common? All play a crucial role in a new genre of music: PUNK ISLAM.
The movement was born from the imagination of a white suburban kid from Rochester, NY, whose abusive, schizophrenic father drove 17-year-old Michael Knight to study Islam, from which he also rebelled in his 2003 Muslim Punk novel called The Taqwacores.
Since 2007, Taqwacore has rocked the U.S. and is now the subject of a documentary, The Taqwacores. See the website for showtimes in January 2010.
