Well, there was a Muslim captain in the first JJ Abrams movie.

But islam is the dominant religion in many books by Heinlein and Herbert...

I cannot remember the article’s source, but it talked about the two nuclear wars Earth had in the Star Trek cannon, the horrific trials and executions without true justice as we see in the Far Point episode of “The Next Generation”. Yet Paris is intact, as is San Francisco. North America seemed relatively safe for Zefrom Cochran to build a warp drive.
The premise of the article was that the wars were in Asia, because Europe and North America seem relatively untouched, while the death toll is hundreds of millions and the Far Point court was distinctly Mandarin.
Given the fact that half of Earth’s population is in a small circle containing India, East China and Indonesia, you easily come to the conclusion that the horrific and repeated nuclear wars of the Star Trek timeline and violent massacres of the irradiated took place in Asia. Which may also explain why you see so few Muslims and Indians in those shows.
