The trailer has been posted for Taqwacore: The birth of punk islam. The film is a documentary about the progression of the Muslim Punk scene: from its imaginary inception in a novel written by a white-convert named Michael Muhammad Knight to a full-blown, real-life scene of Muslim punk bands and their fans.

About a third of that trailer is the author speaking with CBC television and radio personalities. Probably part of the same press tour, too. 2+ Replies

Did anyone else hope that was actually pronounced, "TacoCore". I'd buy that DVD.

As interesting as the movie looks, and it does look really interesting, but how many bands do you need to make a 'scene'?
