Michael Muhammad Knight

    1 januari 1977

    Michael Muhammad Knight is een Amerikaanse auteur wiens geschriften vooral resoneren bij jonge Amerikaanse moslims. Zijn werk wordt vaak omschreven als noodzakelijk en hoopvol, wat hem de bijnaam 'de gonzo-experimentalist van de islam' opleverde. Knight staat bekend om zijn provocerende benadering van de hedendaagse cultuur, waarbij hij thema's als islam en identiteit onderzoekt met een unieke literaire stijl. Zijn essays en journalistieke stukken, die vaak de principes van gonzo-journalistiek hanteren, bieden een gedurfd en onconventioneel perspectief.

Questioning his own relationship to the Five Percent, Knight directly confronts the community's most difficult teachings
