As a taster for my forthcoming piece on the American taqwacore bands The Kominas and Al Thawra, here is one of the most important tunes from this emerging punk scene. This is The Kominas with the song "Sharia Law In The USA" and is particularly notable for its lyrical links to the Sex Pistols' incendiary "Anarchy In The UK" which shook the nation way back in 1976. Just as punks and bored youth back then were looked down upon, it is too often Muslims these days who are the easy target for the ignorant. I love the opening lines "I am an islamist, I am the anti-christ" which perfectly sum up this situation.
