Ms. Lin poses us a difficult dilemma: how should black African Muslims be described without referring to skin color, and how many hyphens to use?

You're as bad as Lin is. The rioters were not black. They were overwhelming Muslims who look Arab. Not black. I suppose a few French blacks joined in or watched.

You're as bad as she is. What's your excuse?

I'm looking for a descriptive term that distinguishes black African Muslims from non-black African Muslims. I am also musing as I drink my morning coffee. What's your excuse?
