Story4 out of 5 stars 39
A Muslim punk house in Buffalo, New York, inhabited by burqa-wearing riot girls, mohawked Sufis, straight-edge Sunnis, Shi'a skinheads, Indonesian skaters, Sudanese rude boys, gay Muslims, drunk Muslims, and feminists. Their living room hosts parties and prayers, with a hole smashed in the wall to indicate the direction of Mecca. Their life together mixes sex, dope, and religion in roughly equal amounts, expressed in devotion to an Islamo-punk subculture, "taqwacore".

Just finished the book, Michael Muhammad Knight helped me find Islam. I’m a burnt out punk from upstate NY, but the Masjid in Amsterdam took my Shahada and the Taqwacores taught me to pray. Alhamdulillah.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
