This newsletter exploring the definitions of religious representation of Muslims versus the cultural representation is one I found so deeply significant, especially considering that Muslims today often find contradicting values between their culture and their religion. Whenever I personally see Muslims supposedly represented on the big screen, I find myself disappointed more often than not. As you mentioned, it's not only that we need Muslim representation in media, but a true representation of Muslims in media. I still love Riz Ahmed tho!
