Sadly, the series failed to live up to my expectations and white classmates soon starting parodying Khan\u2019s thick accent in front of me. Even worse, they\u2019d use the show to ask uncomfortable questions about marriage, dating or food we ate. This was definitely not the representation I had longed for.<\/p>\n<h3>The Riz test<\/h3>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the problem has continued over the last decade.\u00a0As British actor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/riz-ahmed\">Riz Ahmed<\/a>\u00a0set out in his 2017 House of Commons speech, Muslim representation on screen often falls into two dangerously reductive categories: you are either an emotionally troubled man in a thriller series (<em>The Bodyguard<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Homeland<\/em>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/tag\/the-boys\"><em>The Boys<\/em><\/a>) who holds some kind of relationship with terrorism, or a woman who falls victim to her Islamic faith like the protagonist in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/tag\/apple-tv\">Apple TV+<\/a>\u00a0drama\u00a0<em>Hala<\/em>. In a poignant lecture given on behalf of Channel 4, Ahmed asked the question: \u201cWhere is the counter narrative? Where are we telling these kids they can be heroes in our stories, that they are valued?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Riz-Ahmed-Islamophobia-e1605689283891.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7259\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Riz-Ahmed-Islamophobia-e1605689283891.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"652\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Representation and negative on-screen media portrayals can make long-term impressions on viewers and that was the message [Ahmed Riz] was trying to drive home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Representation and negative on-screen media portrayals can make long-term impressions on viewers and that was the message the British-Pakistani actor was trying to drive home. Ahmed has since set up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.riztest.com\/\">\u2018The Riz test\u2019<\/a>. This short, bullet-pointed guide is a go-to on how to root out racist depictions of Muslims in film and TV. Among other things, it asks the viewer to check: is the character they are watching presented as irrationally angry, superstitious, culturally backwards or anti-modern? Perhaps they\u2019re a threat to the Western way of life? If so, alarm bells should be ringing. As Ahmed simply puts it: \u201cPeople are looking for the message that they belong, that they are part of something, that they are seen and heard and that despite, or perhaps because of, their experience, they are valued. They want to feel represented. In that task we have failed.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A better representation of Muslims<\/h3>\n<p>While its\u2019s true that TV\u2019s portrayal of Muslims still falls short, there is a new show that is bucking the trend. Set in Karachi, Pakistan\u2019s radical, new webseries <em>Churails\u00a0<\/em>(streaming on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/\">ZEE5<\/a>\u00a0in the UK)\u00a0offers an exciting new direction. Roughly translated as \u2018witch\u2019 or \u2018female demon-spirit\u2019, this ambitious drama does a good job of portraying the lives of different types of Muslim women. Ticking off industry firsts like Pakistan\u2019s only on-screen queer couple,<em>\u00a0Churails<\/em>\u00a0follows a group of powerful women seeking revenge on husbands who have wronged them. It\u2019s a thrilling adventure, filled with tense face-offs, undercover detectives and, most importantly, female protagonists that don\u2019t come from any trite formula.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Muzlamic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7263\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Muzlamic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Muzlamic.jpg 640w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Muzlamic-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Muzlamic-620x349.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The promise of new shows like <em>Churails<\/em>\u00a0proves that, for UK viewers at least, things are starting to improve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Homegrown stories about Muslims are becoming more complex and diverse too.

Channel 4\u2019s newly commissioned\u00a0<em>Lady Parts<\/em>\u00a0is a witty comedy, directed by Nida Manzoor, which follows the highs and lows of an anarchic, all-female Muslim punk band.
