Why are there no Muslims in the Star Trek series?
Because it takes place in the future.
GMTA : )
I noticed Star Trek had relatively few Asians, Chinese, Muslims, some Europeans, many North Americans.
The cannon says there was a WW3 that killed a billion+. You have that circle in the Indo-Pacific with a 500 mile radius where more than half of humanity lives.
Have a major India-Pakistan and/or Saudi-Iran nuclear war trigger further smaller conflicts AND knock out transportation so that people can’t flee as they are right now (like nuclear winter killing crops while EMPs destroyed most transit), and the most densely populated parts of Asia and the Middle East get depopulated while Africa sees a major depopulation from family.
Europe has a declining population (if they have the sense to stop the Muslim invasion), and North America is stable in numbers, so we’re still a major world power. We’d just have to rebuild infrastructure and minor damage.
This scenario explains why 60% of the world is Indian, Chinese or African and darn near none are in Star Trek’s universe. And why ones like Sisko are so clearly African-American (name, accent).
Writer needs to get a new life. Science fiction is FANTASY, not reality. Decrying racism in science fiction leads to

Bottom line...
Roth wants to carve out her little piece of the literary pie. At some point she might figure out that whining, while supposedly trendy, doesn’t get it, isn’t the literary brass ring... it’s merely... whining...
“Why are there no Muslims in the Star Trek series?”
There are no Amish or Muslims in popular science fiction because science fiction is usually set in the future. Those societies are firmly set in the past. As an author it becomes difficult to weave together threads that don’t match. While Muslims, more than Amish, are likely to pick up modern tools, they use them to watch porn or kill people. Muslim society by present day Western norms is perverted in every way.
Taking the issue from another perspective, how many legitimate Nobel Peace awards have gone to Muslims for science or literature? Darned few in comparison to Jews and Christians.
Islam is a seventh century cultural cancer now being imported into the healthy tissue of the West. But the real enemy of the West is liberalism. It’s hard to imagine anything more destructive than liberalism. What a great marriage; liberalism and Islam.
