Interview with journalist Michael Muhammad Knight. We discuss his struggles of being a Muslim convert in America; his novel "The Taqwacores" which is set in a Muslim punk-house in Buffalo, New York, and explores the twin identities of punk and Islam in their many varieties and degrees of orthodoxy; the Muslim punk band The Kominas; his objections to Siraj Wahhaj; writing for Muslim WakeUp; Asra Nomani posting her 99 Precepts on the door of Morgantown's Islamic Center; the heretical writings of Peter Lamborn Wilson.

Featured song is the Kominas "Rumi Was A Homo (But Wahhaj Is a ***)".
