What is Punk Islam? Michael Muhammad Knight will explain his peculiar
conversion to Islam and read from his book The Taqwacores, the
first-ever Muslim Punk novel. He will discuss some of the issues probed
in the book: progressive Islam, the possibilities of female spiritual
leadership, "gutter-sufism" and other heretical forms.
