Taqwacores: Young Muslims Build a Subculture on an Underground Book

CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE
from New York Times, 23rd December 2008

This article appeared in Hindustan Times today, back page; and got me wondering whether the usual sports news there was a better way to fill that space, or was this?

Why am I linking it here? What does that say about me?

My friend is doing a project on Islamophobia. We were talking about this prescribed topic and its appearance in a course on Conflict Studies;
Is discoursifying this making it worse or better?
More real or less?

It's all very murky.

But meanwhile, I don't think the average Big Mac-eating American would see this book as a good thing.
