When somebody who’s Muslim says I wanna fuck you during Ramadan, that is the punkest that it gets.
Det er min velresearchede overbevisning, at Islam er en anti-demokratisk, homofobisk, kvindefjendsk, slaveri-venlig, morderisk, religionschauvanistisk ideologi. Men det er mig en ubetinget fryd at konstatere, at der er muslimer med en Islam-opfattelse som står diamentralt modsat min egen.
I’ll do what befits my character, conscience, and integrity — as long as it respects the dignity of my fellow human beings. And I won’t let anyone tell me I’m less Muslim for insisting on everyone’s freedom of choice. That’s the message of Islamic punk.
