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.


...

...the most important similarity is that, like punk, Islam itself is a flag; an open symbol representing not things, but ideas. You can’t hold punk or Islam in your hands. So what could they mean besides what you want them to?

De tre citater i dette indlæg stammer fra filmen Taqwacore - The Birth of Punk Islam, eller fra debatten omkring den film.
