The difference being that Chia Pets aren’t designed to make parents froth at the mouth.

Muslims can be creative complicated people. There IS room for a diverse and vibrant Ummah. American Muslims should be PROUD.

Point taken Imran. But let’s face it. While the edge of this story does show Americans that Muslims are not all puritanical zealots, I cannot help but feel that a few teens are exploiting their (loose? VERY loose?) association with Islam to get press as a punk rock band. (Punk rock being a movement that died more than 25 years ago).

eg. I think the leader of the kominas is openly atheist.
Reminds me of a kook on the old eteraz site named pakistani muslim apostate. She played muslim and muslim victim as her twisted needs required.
