The Taqwacores
Michael Muhammad Knight's 2003 fictional novel, The Taqwacores, inspired the emergence of Punk Islam. The word Taqwacore combines the Arabic word for god-consciousness and punk essence. The characters within Michael's novel, prompted real life Muslim youth within the punk scene, to actively redefine the look and sound of Islam.

It seemed a lot about subverting the religion and more about the "shock value". Michael Knight seemed to just enjoy rebelling against something. First it was his dad and then against the religion. It seemed like it was focused on him.
