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,\" named for taqwa, an Arabic term for consciousness of the divine.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally self-published on photocopiers and spiralbound by hand, \u003ci\u003eThe Taqwacores\u003c\/i\u003e has now come to be read as a manifesto for Muslim punk rockers and a \"\u003ci\u003eCatcher in the Rye\u003c\/i\u003e for young Muslims.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are three different cover colors; red, white, and blue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft Skull Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593762292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25h x 4.93w x 0.71d","brand":"Michael Muhammad Knight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661029896348,"sku":"9781593762292","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_887d0730-e5e5-4caa-abc1-c9fe72ab1088.jpg?v=1603898238","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-taqwacores-9781593762292","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
