Re: The Kominas - A Pakistani rock band from USA
There was a Guardian article on this Taqwacore stuff a few months back. I'd post a link but I don't think I'm allowed to yet.
This Taqwacore book (or books) sound really f*cked up.
The following quote really stood out to me "Neither he nor his taqwacore comrades confess to embracing the more debauched antics of the novel - which has one character urinating over the Qur'an and then reading from it and a female Muslim veil-wearing punk, performing oral sex, onstage, in front of 200 people."
Why would any Muslim be influenced by such a book? Sounds like trash and provides more proof of lost young souls attaching themselves to anything to feel cool.
