The Infibulateds
Islamic riot grrrl band (taqwacore) from California, in the 2004 novel The Taqwacores by Michael Muhammed Knight. They travel to Buffalo, NY to play a climactic taqwacore show. They have a female lead singer.
The novel was turned into a 2010 film, The Taqwacores.
“They're this riot grrrl band dealing with sex and gender issues. Most of their songs are along those lines. Like how a female can't express her sexuality to any extent and still maintain Islamic dignity, a girl who enjoys sex and would freely talk about it must automatically be suffering from low self-esteem, shit like that, they just fuckin’ tear all that apart.”
Infibulation is the surgical removal of the external female genitalia. Barf.
