PUNK TULEN LAWAN PUNK TIRUAN | Harian Metro - Sunday December 11th 2005

KUALA LUMPUR: Selain gejala Black Metal, pengikut aliran punk dikesan berkembang subur di kalangan remaja Melayu negara ini dengan fahaman dan perlakuan yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam serta nilai masyarakat.
Seorang pengikut aliran punk sejak 14 tahun lalu mengakui fahaman budaya Barat itu bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam, boleh mengancam keselamatan dan mencetuskan kekacauan.
“Ada banyak kumpulan punk di negara ini seperti ‘Punk Rock’, ‘Hardcore Punk’, ‘Chaos Punk’, ‘Pop Punk’, Punk Hop’, ‘Skaters Punk’ dan ‘Metal Punk’, dengan 5,000 hingga 6,000 pengikut di Lembah Klang saja.
“Kalau dicampur pengikut punk di negeri lain seperti Melaka dan Kelantan, mungkin jumlahnya mencecah 10,000 orang,” katanya yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Hasharinaz, 22.
Namun, dia mendakwa majoriti pengikut punk terbabit tidak faham falsafah punk sebenar dan golongan digelar ‘posers’ (peniru) itu suka menonjolkan diri di khalayak ramai bagi menarik minat pengikut baru.
“Saya pengikut punk tulen yang melepaskan perasaan hanya menerusi muzik. Ia untuk keamanan, bukan keganasan seperti diamalkan ‘posers’. Punk menentang arak, seks bebas dan rokok.
“Namun, ada ‘posers’ terlalu taksub dengan fahaman kumpulan punk luar negara, terutama ‘Nazi Punk’ dari Jerman yang menolak kepercayaan beragama, sama seperti pengikut fanatik Black Metal.
“Malah, ada ‘posers’ menjalankan upacara korban seperti membawa kepala kambing hitam ke hutan dan mengadakan upacara memuja syaitan. Merekalah yang menimbulkan masalah kerana terpesong daripada fahaman punk tulen,” katanya.
Pengerusi Pertubuhan Kebajikan dan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Pekida) Wilayah Persekutuan Daerah Bukit Bintang, Roslan Dahaman, berkata pengaruh budaya punk di kalangan remaja negara ini kian membimbangkan.
“Isu ini kian berat dan semakin lama semakin ‘panas’. Pengikut semakin bertambah dan perlakuan mereka membimbangkan,” katanya.
Beliau berkata, kawasan Bukit Bintang di sini dikenali lokasi utama pengikut punk berkumpul dan melakukan pelbagai perkara tidak bermoral, terutama malam hujung minggu.
“Sesiapa yang sering mengunjungi Bukit Bintang pasti bersetuju dengan saya. Ada pengikut punk minum arak dan melempar botolnya sesuka hati serta membuat maksiat di khalayak ramai,” katanya.
Sementara itu, pemantauan Metro Ahad di sebuah laman web untuk pengikut punk mendapati, pengikut yang mendakwa mengamalkan fahaman punk sebenar sanggup mempertahankannya daripada pupus dan mahu ia terus subur di negara ini.
Ini terbukti apabila ada pengikut punk mengirimkan artikel menggunakan tajuk ‘Punk Not Junk’ (punk bukan sampah) yang bersedia menerima walau sehebat mana sekalipun tentangan daripada pelbagai pihak.
“Walau bagaimana hebat sekalipun tentangan diberikan terhadap golongan punk, yang pasti budaya punk tidak akan pupus. Ia tetap wujud sampai bila-bila,” kata pengirim artikel menggunakan nama Along.
Dalam pada itu, kebanyakan pengunjung laman web ini mendakwa pengikut punk tulen yang pada dasarnya taksub dengan fahaman punk.
Kebanyakan artikel mengagungkan fahaman punk sehingga menganggap ia cara hidup.
Selain ruangan khas untuk pelbagai artikel, laman web yang kononnya diwujudkan bagi memperbetulkan tanggapan masyarakat terhadap pengikut punk sebenar, selain menyebarkan pengaruh punk sebenar itu, turut menghimpunkan pelbagai jenis gambar pengikut punk.

Apa benda punk hop nya? Mangkuk la reporter ni. Joe, hang nak buat band baru tu, hang kasi aku rap.. aku terer gak rap rap ni, smalam ada buat 2-3 lagu style punk hop. Baru2 ni, wartawan Mastika datang Ipoh, dia interview one of the otai dlm Metal scene kat Ipoh la. So, mamat tu datang lepak ngan kita and cerita betapa bodohnya wartawan Mastika tu. Salah satu perbualan yang menarik:
Mastika: Awak ni Black Metal la ye?
Kaki Metal: Tak, saya tak Black Metal, saya DEATH METAL!
Mastika: Wah! Death Metal? (terkejut beruk!). Lagi ganas dari Black Metal ke ni?
hahaha.

it went back to the black metal issue that day, first raised in a parliament session by Idris Haron (Tangga Batu) who claimed he read about it in a recent issue of Mastika. u know, the hantu-makan-zakar-mayat-gigit-lipan-berak-besembur kind of affair. thats y la people (especially jalan riong nyamuks) been picking on it. that also led to the recent arrest in seremban, and it might also had to do with the current asean thing as well.
i mean, member of parliament reading Mastika? you are what you read la kan? that is not a reputable journal of opinion at all.
next issue in harian metro: ahli parlimen baca mastika banyak sangat, meracau bukan-bukan

cerita ni yang paling aku sakit hati sekali….
masa tu ada 2 ekor bangsat yang berbadan gemuk dan pakai cermin mata…
aku tak tau nak cakap ape…
yang aku nak bagitau korang ialah…
AKULAH MANGSA DALAM CERITA NI…!!!
aku tak tau nak cakap ape…
dorang suke2 letak nama aku dalam surat khabar haram tu..!!
aku tak pernah sebut PUNK HOP!
aku tak pernah cakap pasal NAZI PUNK!!
aku tak pernah cakap pasal KAMBING HITAM & PEMUJAAN!!!
kat sini, salah satu benda yang kelakar dalam akhbar tu ialah PUNK HOP…
kalau tengok betul2 ape yang dorang karangkan tu, cuba baca petikan ni…
(“Malah, ada ‘posers’ menjalankan upacara korban seperti membawa kepala kambing hitam ke hutan dan mengadakan upacara memuja syaitan. Merekalah yang menimbulkan masalah kerana terpesong daripada fahaman punk tulen,” katanya.)
apa kena mengena kambing hitam dengan PUNK???
pastu boleh pulak letak nama aku!!??
(“Saya pengikut punk tulen yang melepaskan perasaan hanya menerusi muzik. Ia untuk keamanan, bukan keganasan seperti diamalkan ‘posers’. Punk menentang arak, seks bebas dan rokok.)
rokok!!!????
aku seorang perokok!!!
aku tak paham apsal dorang asyik nak fitnah orang sesuka hati!!!
dorang senang je cakap kita murtad!!!
dorang tau ke apa hukumnya kalau tuduh seseorang tu murtad!!??
dioranglah yang murtad..!!!!
kebanyakan wartawan yang tak laku macam dorang ni datangnya dari persatuan…
contohnya PEKIDA…
ada juga dari PEKIMA…
macam majlah WARTAWAN…
dorang berani cakap orang macam tu macam ni…
sebab dorang under persatuan…
sebab tu dorang berani…
lagi satu… ada gak antara dorang mengikut ajaran syiah…
sebab tu dorang tak tau apa itu hukum kalau menuduh orang…
aku dah tak tau nak cakap apa lagi…
aku baru hantar msg hari ni
(2.15 pm - tuesday - 8.feb.2007)
sebab aku baru nampak web ni…
aku tak selalu sangat bukak internet ni…
akhir kata aku kat korang…
terpulang pada korang nak nilai macam mana tentang akhbar tu…
pilih la yang mana satu benar atau tak…
percaya pada scene sendiri…
atau pun wartawan bangsat…
aku difitnah…

Pemuda UMNO Hero Taik Kucing
Sekiranya berlaku sesuatu yang tidak diingini sehari dua ini, kita semua tidak ragu-ragu lagi bahawa Mahathir dan UMNO lah merupakan golongan makhluk yang mesti di pertanggungjawabkan. Kita tidak sekali-kali boleh memaafkan mereka yang bertindak sebagai bapa samseng jalanan menunjukkan kekuatan dengan membuli rakyat. Meskipun rakyat belum mampu untuk bertindakbalas, namun rakyat memendam rasa, menunggu masa dan detik untuk menghamburkan kemarahannya kepada iblis-iblis penjahanam agama bangsa dan negara.
Sekiranya anda menatap wajah-wajah samseng Melayu Pemuda Parti Pengkhianat Bangsa (UMNO) yang di siarkan di muka belakang majalah Roket keluaran terbaru pasti anda akan merasa malu untuk meletakkan diri anda sebagai se bangsa dengan makhluk ini. Yang pasti dia ni sebangsa dengan bapak pembohong dan penzalim Malaysia. Lagaknya sebagai hero Melayu yang tidak di iktiraf tak ubah seperti watak Wahid Satay dalam cerita Badang. Lakunannya begitu kaku sekali. Badang ini dengan beberapa panglima bapok Melayu, berpakaian ala pengantin Melayu sedang menunjukkan kemarahannya kepada seorang berbangsa China. Alahai kesian dia. Kita selalu melihat watak badot ini dalam cerita-cerita Hindustan. Hina sungguh mereka ni.
Hentikanlah lakunan kamu wahai Pemuda UMNO pengkhianat agama dan bangsa. Persekongkolan kamu dengan bapak pembohong dan penzalim sudah cukup untuk meletakkan kamu setaraf dengan najis. Usahlah kamu berpura-pura nak tunjuk sebagai hero Melayu. Orang Melayu pun meluat apatah lagi orang China di depan kamu tuu. Kamu buat-buat tak tahu bahawa kamu dan pemimpin pujaan kamulah sebenarnya yang telah pun menjual bangsa Melayu dan sedang berusaha untuk meruntuhkan agama. Apa lagi yang ada pada Melayu yang kamu nak pertahankan. Biasiswa untuk anak Melayu telah kamu hapuskan. Tanah rezab Melayu telah kamu gadaikan atau kamu sendiri bolot. Tanah-tanah Melayu di Felda telah kamu dan kroni kamu jahanamkan dengan janji nak jadikan mereka jutawan mee segera. Kemuncak dari segala pengkhianatan ini kamu dan pemimpin pujaan kamu telah menyatakan kemungkinan untuk menyerahkan jawatan Perdana Menteri kepada Bangsa Asing. Usahkan orang Melayu, orang Cina pun terkejut beruk dengan ucapan pemimpin pujaan kamu. Terakhir ini kamu mengkhianati pula rakyat Terengganu yang majoritinya Melayu. Ini hero apa ni?? Hero taik kucing..
Di mana suara kamu untuk mempertahankan hak orang Melayu yang sedang di rompak oleh kuncu-kuncu kamu? Sekarang orang Melayu dah tak ada apa yang mereka nak harapkan dari kamu. Mereka meluat dengan gelagat dan lakunan kamu. Setiap lakunan kamu menambahkan lagi kebencian mereka terhadap kamu. Sebenarnya mereka ini membenci kamu kerana mereka melihat kamu sebagai budak-budak suruhan si pengkhianat besar iaitu Mahathir. Pada mereka, kamu tak ada apa-apa kekuatan, tiada prinsip perjuangan selain untuk kepentingan diri dan bisnes kroni. Cukuplah tu.. lain kali jangan nak tunjuk hero lagi.. kami meluat.

punk ialah sub culture(budaya tempelan)
ia perlu diselarikan dgn agama, kerana jika budaya melayupun perlu diselarikan dgn agama inikan pula punk , budaya tempelan. bukannya kamu keluar dari perut ibu kamu, kamu terus jadi punk.
kamu jadi melayu dulu baru jadi punk… so bangsa melayu pemberian dari tuhan pun perlu diselarikan dgn agama inikan pula punk yg datangnye dari manusia yg lahirnya dari air mani yg kotor?
siapa lebih samseng dan hebat? tuhan @ kamu?

a’kom,
tumpang lalu semua,
org dok citer pasal wartawan anti-punk, ada plak citer pasal PEKIDa la, UMNO la, cam bodoh jew. (maaf terlepas cakap)
Apasal punk harus dipertikaikan (utk real dan tulen punk not dead hardcores) yg menjurus kepada sesuatu prinsip muzik sebelum memulakan hidup sebagai seorang dewasa, ianya hanyalah sebuah pegangan hidup dlm muzik, kenapa harus dipertikaikan (sama juga seperti die hard fans SIti la, MAwi la (lagi cam sial) atau RAPPERS la (kepada bebudak melayu yg perasan diorang tu kulit hitam huahuauauhua). Aku ni berkulit gelap, kalau zaman aku skola menengah dulu kena kutuk hitam cam negro, skang org yg kutuk aku tu perasan dia ingat dia ganster rap nigres yg berkulit org melayu.
Ianya adalah muzik dan melahirkan pemuzik2 yg berbakat seperti KAburator Dung yg mampu menembusi Billboard top 40 di USA (kalau aku x silap la dan ada juga yg mendakwa billy joe armstrong kenal Kaburator Dung), selain utk melepaskan tekanan sekeliling kita atau hiburan seperti mosh, pogo dan lain2, yg menjurus kepada pakaian pula ianya dijadikan sebagai role model atau tidak keterlaluan aku sebutkan mak bapak kita dulu pun zaman A GO-GO seluar yankee, baju kebaya ketat sehingga menampakkan bentuk buah dada (bukan tuduhan mungkin juga parents wartawan ni juga adalah pengikut setia pop yeh-yeh)
Yg kebih menghairankan ada remaja yg berpeleseran di club seperti ORANGE atau ZOUK dan yg lain2, yg memang kita dah tau lagu2 RAP atau PUNk HOP (bak kata wartawan buta muzik dunia underground huauahuahu) lebih menjurus keapada free sex, alcoholic, ganja, extasy, sedang kan semasa zaman aku die hard fan HARDCORE, lepak ngan bebudak punk, sembahyang JUMAAT insya allah x tinggal (x baik cakap besar), masa aku di paksa ke ORANGE (pasal nak ambik adik angkat aku da) bebudak dia (bukan semua la yeh harap maklum) kaki botol, free sex, dan pakaian aweks dia wah cam x cukup benang nak jahit, bila aku ajak gaduh panggil mak bapak (hehehehhe).
Kenapa parlimen dan wartawan x mau bentang kan pasal album baru JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - FUTURE SEX / (aku x tau serterusnya), 50 CENTS (G-Unit secara terang2 dia adalah seorang soldier gangster). bertambah hairan lagi, x di haramkan langsung.
Tapi bila kreativiti anak melayu malaysia seperti Yasmin Ahmad (sepet - kena hentam sebab x ikut cakap gov.) dan Sharifah Amani (yg sanggup menjiwai watak dlm lakonan sehingga membotakkan kepala, pun kena hentam gak walhal dia dah tanya, tapi x de feedback dari sesiapa).
Malang sungguh insdustri muzik, lebih2 lagi underground scenes. camana org kita nak support local scene, asal kita nak maju jew, kena banned. kalau da terang2 tu x nak plak banned.
Bila anak2 muda ikut trend moden sepeti tranz dan house muzik (aku cuba gak nak dengar, tapi pening kepala aku woooi) rupa2nya kena mkn extasy baru bule pergi. HAMPEH tull.
Kepada underground scenes, yg sentiasa support local scene, unite we stand, jgn percaya la dakyah para wartawan yg sememangnya hanya seorang penipu (hanya kepada mereka yg mkn cili).
Tapi aku akui ada gak wartawan, dlm the star, yg kekadang ada review pasal bebudak undeground, yg camtuh memang aku salute de capitan.
Bak kata Plague of Happines - VIVA LA PUNK

..cerminan jiwa dalam kehidupan ini bermacam2, dipengaruhi oleh banyak aspek diri pribadi, punk merupakan lambang kebeasan bagi seseorang yang menginginkannya, pada dasarnya punk sebuah pemahaman itu saja, dan mungkin berkembang mengikuti jaman.
..
..namun punk bukanlah komunitas para pencinta sexs bebas, narkoba, kenakalan, ceos saja, ada kala seseorang mempunyai kejiwaan yg sama, mempunyai keinginan untuk mengapliksikan dirinya melalui fashion bergaya punk, komunitas inilah yang kini banyak, jujur aja apa catatan kriminalitas disetiap negara selalu terjadi gara2 anak2 punk?,, tidak benar bukan,,

onieck aku setuju, sebagai seseorang yg remaja, mesti melalui satu jln, iaitu memilih jiwa yg mampu kita tanggung, jgn jadi serkap jarang yg hanya tahu utk menuduh, supaya rakyat anti punk (or other scenes), tetapi mereka tidak sekali pun menghentam rap, hip-hop, tranz & techno.
Onieck, pasal seks bebas, dadah, boleh dikategorikan berlaku walaupun kepada mereka yg melayan lagu dondang sayang.
Onieck, ada e-mail aku nak tau gak apa citer scene tmpt kau.
p/s aku dah pencen so hanya mampu utk bersuara keras.
maaf kalau ada yg tersinggung.

Media.
This is what we called Media Player - Pemain Media.Media adalah satu medium yang menjadi bahan bacaan / tatapan / tenungan / tekaan / kuiz / no ekor / kuda / sukan toto / sukan sihat / dan pelbagai lagi. Sungguh indah ronggi pongginya jika dapat kita saksikan kini.Sebagai sebuah medium ‘pemain’, media cukup kuat untuk menyampaikan maklumat / merasuk / mempengaruhi / memperdaya / menempelak dan pelbagai lagi. Namun, menjadi persoalan sosial kini apekah masih relevan untuk media ini dipercayai 200% (100% percentage yg sudah tidak relevan utk zaman ini)? Saya amat sedih lagi hiba apabila media arus perdana V6 ini sudah tidak relevan lagi utk dipercayai. Disini, saya telah menjumpai beberapa pembendaharaan kata yang berasal dari nenek moyang saya.Adalah menjadi tanggungjawab saya utk memperkayakan bahasa ibunda saya, tidak bahasa ayahanda saya kerana ayahanda saya mampu bercakap dalam 6 bahasa.
Wartawanbaik - pencari berita / maklumat / cerita / cereka yg ilmiah utk masyarakat.
Warsawanbabi - percari berita palsu / maklumat palsu / cerita palsu / cereka palsu utk masyarakat.
Contoh ayat : ” Razani bin Rahim adalah seorang wartawanbaik yang bertugas di Jabatan Siaraya Kampung Bukit Setongkol. Beliau bertanggungjawab dalam memberikan maklumat kepada masyarakat di kampungnya mengenai keharmonian hidup berjiran.”
Contoh ayat : ” Kulup Jaidin adalah seorang warsawanbabi yang bertugas di Jabatan Siaraya Kampung Bukit Setongkol. Beliau bertanggungjawab dalam menyebarkan berita palsu mengenai kejadian ragut dan lari di kampungnya yang mana ramai orang kampung sudah tahu perkara sebenar mengenai kejadian ragut dan lari itu dilakukan oleh segerombolan kambing.”

Haha aku pun nak tergelak sama (seperti pembaca-pembaca lain) bilamana terlihat artikel mengenai PUNK di ricecooker ni. Alahai wartawan. Kamu tu sebenarnya yang menyebarkan fahaman songsang mengenai punk. Adakah kamu (wartawan) seorang PUNK? Pernahkah anda mencari (di internet mungkin, yelah zaman dah IT, nak cari maksud perkataan tak payah bukak kamus lagi, tanya saja kawan kamu si Mat Yahoo bin Pak Google) maksud PUNK?
Correct me if im wrong. Tetapi setahu saya, punk merupakan suatu genre music sepertimana yang Siti Nurhaliza nyanyikan which is err idunnola balada? irama tradisional? nowadays modern r&b kut? dan apa yang kamu katakan sebagai kumpulan punk di negara ini seperti ‘Punk Rock’, ‘Hardcore Punk’, ‘Chaos Punk’, ‘Pop Punk’, Punk Hop’, (huh punk hop??) ‘Skaters Punk’ dan ‘Metal Punk’, itu adalah sub-genre kepada punk. Sebagaimana hardcore yang mempunyai post-hardcore, metal-core, math-core dan banyak core core nya. Tak cukup? nak bukti lagi? Okeylah korang dengar indie kan? (takkan tak dengar HUJAN kan media suka buat publisiti pasal diorang?) banyak juga cabangnya indie seperti indie-experimental (read:yeah yeah yeahs) itu semua hanyalah based on music. Saya tidak nampak kaitannya antara music dan upacara upacara yang kalian nyatakan diatas?
Punk juga mempunyai fahaman atau ideologi mereka sendiri. Setahu saya punk adalah mereka yang ANARKI dan tidak ada kena mengena dengan isu kambing dan pemujaan (kalau saya salah sila betulkan) ?
Saya tidak mengatakan bahawa saya mengetahui segala macam tentang punk, saya tidak meng claim saya punk. Tetapi saya mempunyai rakan punk. Saya dengar punk. Pakaian saya mempunyai sedikit unsur punk (dalam 20% to 30% kerana sering memakai hitam, hitam punk?) Ya mereka memang politikal. Mereka fuck government kerana tidak berlaku adil. Berat sebelah. Eksploitasi rakyat. Tetapi mereka tidak pula pergi menyembelih kambing hitam dan meminum darah kambing itu? Jadi apa tujuan utama anda (wartawan) menyelitkan isu kambing didalam artikel ini? Kalau black metal ke apa mungkin boleh.
Punk is all about freedom. Punk menolak unsur pendiskriminasian didalam kehidupan seharian. Tolong ambil/ pinjam (curik jangan eh, nanti masuk mastika budak punk curik pemadam) pemadam dan padamkan pandangan anda mengenai punk dan kambing. Ianya tidak benar sama sekali! Siapa yang poser sebenarnya disini? Kami atau wartawan itu? Aku sedih bila tengok artikel sampah dalam Harian Metro ni. Kecewa. Jangan salahkan kami kerana FUCK media. Media mengeksploitasi muzik jujur!
Aku sarankan korang bacalah artikel mengenai band-band ni dari The Star ke News Straits Times ke. Setakat ni, semua review diorang bertepatan gitu.
\\Aku teringin nak tengok band yang main punk dikir barat. Musik punk yg agak raw ditambah dengan bunyi gong dan gamelan, lepastu main gig pakai kain batik lepas (jangan pakai songkok nanti macam radhi OAG tak punk la). Terbaik siakk!
Maaf jika terkasar bahasa tersalah tulis. Saya hanyalah seorang remaja yang meluahkan ketidakpuasan hati disini.

Islamic street preachers
From Boston to Lahore and beyond, the tentacles of taqwacore - aka Islamic punk rock - are spreading. And it’s giving disenfranchised young Muslims a voice, says Riazat Butt
* Riazat Butt
* The Guardian,
* Saturday April 28 2007
* Article history
There can’t be that many female playwrights who are deaf, punk and Muslim, so Sabina England is something of a find. With a lurid Mohawk and leather jacket slathered with slogans, she looks every inch the rebel and has an attitude to match.
Sabina, who says she lives in the “shitty midwest of the United States” or the “HELL-HOLE OF BOREDOM AND YUPPIES”, is part of a subculture that, until a few years ago, existed only on paper.
The Taqwacores - a novel about a fictitious Muslim punk scene in the US - has spawned an actual movement that is being driven forward by young Muslims worldwide. Some bands - such as the Kominas - have a cult following. Others, such as Sabina, are virtually unknown. In a brief email exchange, she lays out some harsh truths.
You’re a playwright. What do you write about?
“I write plays about fucked up people in fucked up situations, because we’re all fucked up human beings that live in a fucked up society. People need to quit whining and shut up and realise that we’re all freaks, whether we admit it or not.”
Where are your ideas from?
“Being a deaf woman from an Indian Muslim family growing up in both England and the US, I’ve never felt I fit in or belonged anywhere. So I was always forced to be an outsider, and because of this, I’d just watch people and observe their actions and words. I guess a lot of my ideas come from my alienation and anger.”
How well known is the taqwacore phenomenon where you are?
“Muslims around here would rather act like a model minority and don’t really want to rattle anybody’s chain. I really want to move to New York City, if I can get my plays produced there. Unfortunately it seems many theatre companies are too scared to do my works, or think I only cater to Indians and Pakistanis and won’t attract white people. But they’re fucking wrong, and they can’t see beyond racial boundaries. Fucking worthless piece of shites.”
What does taqwacore mean to you?
“It means being true to myself, having my own faith, and interpreting Islam the way I want to, without feeling guilty or being looked down at by other Muslims.”
What is the future for taqwacore?
“It’s gonna get bigger. A lot of Muslim kids are tired of being told what to do, how to think, what to believe in, and how to act, by their parents. There are ‘the angry muslim kids’ who wanna grow beards and pray five times a day, and then there are the OTHER ‘angry Muslim kids’ who wanna get drunk and say a huge big ‘fuck you’ to the Muslim population. Or maybe they just don’t care and wanna sit at home and not think about Osama’s video speeches about how America is the Great Satan.”
How her words would fare with Michael Muhammad Knight, author of The Taqwacores and an unwitting idol to the young and restless, is anyone’s guess. Knight, who is 29 and lives in New York with his dog Sunny - “not as in Sunni Muslim” - downplays his achievement of single-handedly inspiring this subculture that has produced artists such as the Kominas, Secret Trial Five, Vote Hezbollah, Al-Thawra, 8-Bit and Diacritical.
“There was a scene already,” says Knight modestly, whose next novel will be titled Osama Van Halen. “I just gave it a name. There were kids out there, doing their thing. I don’t think of it as a movement, though, just a group of friends supporting each other.”
Knight wrote the book to deal with his own issues. He converted to Islam as a teenager and admits he “burned out” from being so religious. “I was so intense. I felt Islam was so black and white and there were no grey areas. These Muslim kids, who are punks, they are in these grey areas.”
The kids he refers to have all devoured Knight’s work, some taking it literally.
“One kid,” he says, “thought the book was non-fiction and thought that stuff in the book actually happened. He got in touch. He said if it wasn’t real, that he would make it real.” He sounds worried by the suggestion that his book will be a manifesto for Muslim punks. “If the scene develops, I don’t want it to be based on my book.”
The words stable, door, horse and bolt spring to mind. Some Muslims are deeming his book to be nothing short of a revelation. “When I read The Taqwacores,” says Basim Usmani, frontman of The Kominas, “all my reservations about Islam melted away.”
Usmani was born in New York and moved around the US when he was growing up. “I had this identity that stretched way further back than these disenfranchised white kids I was hanging out with, but they were the ones who showed me the most respect. I entered America where I was weird and, when I went back to Pakistan, I was weird there too. I was too Pakistani to be American and too American to be Pakistani.”
His aggression was ongoing, although he freely admits his rage didn’t come from social dynamics. “In Boston I was middle class. In Pakistan, where I am now, I am definitely upper class. But the poverty here is intense and that makes me angry.”
Basim first played with Boston-based outfit Malice In Leatherland, supporting horror punk band the Misfits. It was during this time that he heard about Knight’s book.
“I read the book and I’m amazed. I send him an email and he called. I saw a lot of myself in it. Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a story.” Neither he nor his taqwacore comrades confess to embracing the more debauched antics of the novel - which has one character urinating over the Qur’an and then reading from it and a female Muslim veil-wearing punk, performing oral sex, onstage, in front of 200 people.
Understandably, Usmani was nervous approaching Shahjehan Khan, also in the Kominas, about the book. “I didn’t know how he would react, he’s not punk, but he was cool about it. He read it in one day. You could say it was a catalyst for the Kominas.” Their songs are irreverent and un-PC. His favourite track, he says with a snigger, is “I Want A Handjob” - a jibe at Pakistani rockers Junoon (who launched a Muslims For Bush campaign for the 2004 elections).
Usmani left the US just as the Kominas were breaking through into mainstream culture. But he has a new band - the Dead Bhuttos, a variation on the Dead Kennedys (who released their first single through the independent record label Alternative Tentacles, the very label that picked up Knight’s book for distribution).
A future project, hopes Usmani, will be a Punjabi version of the Billy Bragg song There Is Power In A Union. “I’d like it to be a song for the Pakistani workers ‘cos they don’t really have one,” he muses.
The Kominas, currently on a gigging hiatus, will tour later this year in North America. “It seems weird to leave just when we were on the brink. If I’d stayed then I would have been playing to sympathetic white liberals. I didn’t want that. In Pakistan, people want to rebel against the police and religious authority and punk is the perfect way to do that.”
He’s put a downpayment on a bus and decorated it with the shahadah [the Muslim declaration in the oneness of God]. “I have no idea how we’re going to get it through customs.”
Meanwhile, Khan is in Boston mixing the Kominas debut album: “We’ve put some EPs out but this is our first official release. There will be remixes of our old stuff like Suicide Bomb The Gap.”
Khan says he looks like a typical engineer - with glasses and a goatee - and comes from a comfortable, middle-class background. But he appreciates what taqwacore has done for him. “I was like, where has this book been all my life? None of us know where taqwacore is going or what’s going to happen. It is a subculture that could influence culture in general. It’s nice to be part of something at the beginning.”
One of the newest recruits to the taqwacore scene is Secret Trial Five, from Vancouver. Lead vocalist Sena Hussain, 25, took her inspiration directly from the Kominas. “We saw them play and we were all into punk music anyway. We haven’t had a chance to rattle some cages, we only got together last summer, but I expect we will. That’s the point of punk.”
Proposed title tracks include Hey, Hey, Guantanamo Bay and Emo-hurram, a pun on the first month of the Islamic calendar. And, in a male-dominated culture, she thinks they will face challenges from all sides. “It’s another thing that drives us,” she says, “Muslim women are seen as helpless and oppressed. We want to prove that wrong. I used to sport a mohawk, I don’t now, but we will totally play up the punk thing.
“There’s so much animosity towards Muslims and we need a dissenting voice to say ‘fuck you’ to people who pigeonhole us.” Hussain, who is looking for a new guitarist, adds: “It’s only fitting that we identify ourselves as taqwacore, that’s where we got our inspiration from, and I think that’s the way the genre will grow - and I hope it does.”

Wow..easy bro easy..pick up yourself one of your favourite punk band, then cut n’ paste an interesting interview with them here..My current favourite melodic HC band is MERDA from Brazil! Well, above here’s a cut n’ paste interview that got nothing to do with HC thrash, here’s an interview with The Vandals..easy boss easy..just cut n’ paste..woo hoo!! Interview by Pijan (sorry! the interviewer’s name accidentally as same as what friends used to call my name!) Shit!
Performed September 4th, 1996 by John at the Black Cat in Washington, DC. Interviewed are Warren Fitzgerald (guitar), Joe Escalante (bass), and Brooks Wackerman (drums). Singer Dave Quackenbush was busy being massaged.
Pijan: Mind if I ask you guys a few questions I have written down?
Warren: The fact that you have questions puts you in the top five percent of interviewers.
Pijan: What does Bob Dole think of the Vandals?
Warren: Bob Dole loves The Vandals!!
Joe: I don’t see any reason why Bob Dole would not like The Vandals. The Vandals like Bob Dole.
Pijan: Are you going to vote for him?
Joe: I’m going to vote for Bob Dole. I don’t know about the other guys in the band. (To Brooks) I don’t think he’s registered.
Warren: Well, he don’t have a driver’s license. I can’t imagine he’s registered.
Brooks: I can’t vote.
Joe: Ever since Pat Buchanan dropped out, I’ve been limited in my choices.
Warren: I’m going to vote for Frank Zappa.
Pijan: Any stories about the humble beginnings of the Vandals?
Joe: We used to play for people over 21 and it was really bad.
Pijan: Where at?
Joe: At bars. We gave that up.
Warren: We gave that up because we realized the youth of today was about today’s youth so we said OK.
Joe: The youth of today turned us on to the youth of today.
Pijan: So what boring, lame-ass questions do you get asked all the time?
Warren: The exact one you just asked.
Brooks: That’s like ‘what’s your favorite color.’
Warren: That’s a self-referential question. This is the new worst kind of question: if John Lennon and Jerry Garcia got in a fight, who would win?
Joe: Ian McKaye!!
Warren: That’s the new kind of worst question ever.
Pijan: Did you leave anyone out on your list of people to make fun of on your new album (The Quickening)? You got Agent Orange, Muslim fundamentalists, teachers, vegans…
Warren: Now you’re in the top three percentile because of the fact you’ve heard the new record.
Joe: And you’ve put together a theme. We didn’t make fun of… uh… Jesus or Ronald Reagan.
Warren: ‘Cuz they’re the same person.
Joe: No religions we thought we’d meet anyone in.
Warren: And that’s not making fun of that religion (Islam).
Joe: “Allah” (off The Quickening). Dave is actually interested in that religion.
Warren: All you have to do is look around you, really. That’s my answer. There’s so much left to make fun of.
Joe: Exactly.
Pijan: What’s your definition of a sellout band?
Warren: Well, that’s a good question.
Joe: Goldfinger!!
Warren: That’s a one-word answer.
Joe: Goldfinger, because here’s what they did. They’re a perfect example. I don’t know what kind of music they really like, but they were playing… Chilli Pepper, fucking, metal funk rock.
Warren: Faith No More metal funk.
Joe: All right, now this seemed to be where their hearts were, but when it failed as a commodity, they broke up and jumped on the punk-ska bandwagon. I mean, do they really like that kind of music? The guy’s got a Bad religion sticker on his guitar, but anyone can buy one of those. I don’t know. Maybe all of a sudden they got bonked on the head and decided they like punk rock, but if they didn’t get bonked on the head and lose their memory and like punk rock, then I think they sold out their musical tastes to make money from a current trend. And they went straight to a major label.
Warren: Right. That’s why I respect a band like Quiet Riot. Metal’s fucking down the toilet, but they’re still hashing out in the clubs doing their some rocking set.
Brooks: They’re just waiting for it to cycle.
Warren: Absolutely. They’re just waiting for the fucking wave to come back.
Brooks: Which it will. Give it two years.
Warren: “Sellout” is a tricky thing. A lot of people perceive a sellout as a band that’s popular. ut it’s not that simple. There’s a lot of bands that are popular I wouldn’t consider sellouts at all.
Pijan: Let’s say Green Day and The Offspring.
Warren: No, I’d say neither of those bands are sellouts.
Joe: Neither band’s a sellout.
Warren: I have respect for both of those bands. It’s like they won the lottery. I like to see punkers win the lottery.
Pijan: It could be you tomorrow.
Joe: No, that will never be us… we don’t buy the tickets.
Pijan: So why did you move to Nitro from XXX?
Joe: Oohh, that’s a good question. That’s like saying why did you move to the U.S. from fucking… Canada.
Warren: That’s like saying why did you move to the U.S. from a torture chamber.
Joe: It’s just like that. Why did you move out of the torture chamber that you had to pay high rent in?
Warren: Look, I don’t want to name any names, but one label completely sucks shit and one’s really cool. You do the math.
Pijan: How did you guys get involved with “The X-Files”?
Warren: That’s a good question too.
Joe: We’re from Hollywood. We have our Hollywood connections. I worked in television the last four years–I’m a lawyer. We knew the executive producer, he likes punk rock, he likes to be wacky, and we got on. We’ll be on “Friends” next year.
Pijan: What kind of lawyer are you?
Joe: I’m an entertainment lawyer. I used to work for CBS, but when I started getting too busy with the band, I quit.
Pijan: So how much time does that take up?
Joe: Well, I can review a contract while being interviewed by a punk fanzine. I just kinda do it for…
Warren: Money.
Joe: Yeah, money. I’ve been doing it for TV, and now that we’ve started our record label, which is Kung-Fu Records by the way, I can still make money by doing it, so I do it.
Warren: Joe has a talent and a skill, and I don’t see what’s wrong with anyone using that.
Joe: And I have a gift to give to the punkers.
Warren: Absolutely. Like I’m a contortionist and he’s a lawyer, we all have those special things we do.
Pijan: What does he (Brooks) do?
Warren: He’s a drummer.
Joe: He reads Metal Edge magazine.
Brooks: Sure do. With pride. And I hate white people.
Pijan: You’re kind of screwed, aren’t you.
Brooks: It’s OK to hate my race.
Warren: Isn’t it ironic.
Pijan: Don’t you think? What do you think of punk today? What are some of the bands doing a good thing?
Warren: The Bouncing Souls are my favorite punk band out right now.
Joe: I like the Bouncing Souls.
Brooks: No Doubt’s my favorite punk band.
Joe: I like Lagwagon and…
Warren: Mr. T Experience.
Joe: Mr. T Experience kicks ass.
Warren: There’s a lot of good music out there, what can I say.
Pijan: Is any member of the band married to or dating a member of the Lunachicks?
Warren: (Laughs) Is one of us married to or dating a member of the Lunachicks.
Joe: I’m going out with Jake.
Warren: No, but he have compatible genitals.
Pijan: Are you guys getting any more agitated in your old age?
Joe: You want agitation, go visit our t-shirt booth. That guy’s bitter.
Warren: You want agitation, go visit our singer. He also has a great knack for picking out something to hate about everyone: “I hate the way you breathe, stop doing it.
Brooks: You’d never realize how much of an ass he is.
Joe: Brooks is the brunt of most of it.
Warren: Brooks is the focus of most of his agitation, as you so eloquently put it.
Brooks: He does not mean well at all.
Warren: At least I mean well.
Brooks: Dave Quackenbush–thumbs down. (Laughs)
Pijan: I’ll be sure and tell him if I see him.
Brooks: He already knows.
Warren: He’s well aware.
Pijan: I found he looks a lot like Lee Harvey Oswald on the inside to “The Quickening” cover.
Warren: Yes, he does, actually. It’s really strange. We brought a BB gun with us on tour and he picked it up and it was just like the picture off Time magazine.
Brooks: Who’s Lee Harvey anyway?
Warren: Who’s Lee Harvey Oswald?
Joe: That’s Brooks who asked that question.
Warren: That’s a good question. He’s an invisible bunny rabbit who’s seven foot tall.
Joe: Everyone wants to know who really is Lee Harvey Oswald, but we never will know because he was tragically struck down in his youth.
Warren: Ever heard of Jack Ruby?
Brooks: no.
Warren: Ever heard of JFK?
Brooks: Yes.
Warren: Ever hear that he got shot?
Brooks: Yeah.
Warren: All right. Well, he was the guy who got blamed for it.
Joe: But everybody knows who really did it.
Warren: You know who really did it?
Joe: The mysterious hoboes.
Warren: No.
Joe: Dweezil Zappa?
Warren: Arsenio Hall. Things that make you go hmm… eh? Think about that for a while. These aren’t jokes, just things that make you go hmm.
Pijan: So how often are you guys on the road each year?
Warren: We’re going on tour 26 weeks this year. So figure that out, if there’s something like 200 weeks in a year, then we’ll be on tour three-quarters of the time of those 200 weeks.
Pijan: So what do you do with you free time when you get any?
Warren: I’m reading two books right now: Metamogical Themists: Search For Mind And Pattern…
Joe: And Get In The Van by Henry Rollins. (Laughs)
Warren: The other one’s a coloring book.
Pijan: So do you consider Mr. Rollins on your list of sellouts?
Joe: He makes Goldfinger look like Fugazi.
Warren: That, my friend, is a very funny statement. I don’t know, man. His anger seems so contrived, he gets mad about the silliest things and writes poetry about it. Did you hear the one poem about bank tellers and shit? It’s just trivial nonsense.
Joe: It’s very profound.
Warren: “And then, my friend, you die. And then, my friend, you die.”
Pijan: A quick question about one of your songs: “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” Was that a subtle crack at Bad Religion in there?
Joe: That’s an homage to their fucking… stylistics to the punk rock styling.
Warren: Actually, it was more of a precognitive kind of thing saying that by using every big word we can in the song, we’ll eventually come to that. I think, actually, around the turn of the century, they will actually do that song and get royalties from it, or Disney will.
Joe: We pay royalties to Disney for that. We keep gate prices down. By contributing to the publishing income.
Warren: Instead of $35.00, it’s $34.99 thanks to us.
Pijan: Where do you stand politically, or do you?
Joe: Republican. I want people to run the country that I would never hang out with. And Bill Clinton is someone I might hang out with. So get him the fuck outta there. Put people in there that are just robots that are like mean dads, just fucking whip everyone into shape.
Warren: it’s the cool boss syndrome.
Joe: Yeah, the cool boss syndrome; you got a cool boss, the company’s going down the toilet.
Warren: I like Jerry Brown.
Joe: People who tell the truth, that’s what I like. Jerry Brown tells the truth.
Warren: Jerry Brown could be a right president.
Joe: Pat Buchanan tells the truth.
Warren: Bob Kerry, I like him too.
Brooks: Crackhead Bob.
Joe: Kenneth Keith Kallenbach.
Pijan: Kenneth Keith Kallenbach for president?
Warren: We’re friends with Kenneth Keith Kallenbach. I produced a record of his that’s yet to be released. It’s fantastic–at the forefront of retard rock, and if that’s what you’re into… oh my God, it’s a cornucopia of goodness in that sense.
Pijan: Any last words to the punks of America?
Joe: If you’re reading this zine, don’t vote. It’s a waste of trees.
