Michael Muhammad Knight grew up Irish Catholic and converted to Islam aged 16 after reading Malcolm X’s autobiography. He originally published The Taqwacores(Telegram) by hand on photocopiers to distribute from his car in mosque parking lots. Since then the novel has been confiscated in Malaysia, taught in numerous colleges and universities and cited as an influence in the American Muslim woman-led prayer movement.
