Exactly. Also, not all Muslims are brown or black. There are many Muslims - whether born or converts - who are white. I never see this in the media. Let alone non-binary queer Muslims and/or those w disabilities. They had an opportunity and failed to meet the moment.

It’s also very rare to see Black American Muslims represented in US media. The diversity of Islam is completely ignored by narratives that shape it only in the context of the War on Terror.
