About the Author
Michael Muhammad Knight grew up Irish Catholic and converted to Islam aged 16 after reading Malcolm X's autobiography. At 17 he travelled to Pakistan to study at Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. Michael originally published The Taqwacores by hand on photocopiers to distribute from his car in mosque parking lots. Since then the novel has been confiscated in Malaysia, taught in numerous colleges and universities and cited as an influence in the American Muslim woman-led prayer movement.

Reviews
'The Hunter S. Thompson of Islamic Literature...an easy, funny read but, at another level and without labouring the point, also profoundly challenging.' Brian Whitaker, The Guardian

Excerpts
You have to stop trying to make sense of Punk - what it's for, what it's against. It's against everything.
