That's great, and I'm sure they rock. The song titles are intriguing and obviously anti-Islam and I'm inclined to check them out.

I just don't understand why a couple members are practicing Muslims, yet find some middle liberal ground in it to mock Islam to fit the punk scene. It's the same pitfall as Christian punk/metal/etc.

"Spirituality" is a very personal thing, and warping the tenets of an established religion to fit a modern niche seems counter-productive. I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve by saying "it's ok to practice Islam, but you don't have to do exactly what the Koran says, and oh yeah, don't listen to your parents." It's the half-assed, confused modern views of religion, especially progressive Islam, that I have an issue with. Abandon it altogether, take a stand for something.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it. It's punk rock, who the fuck cares.
