1. The al ghuls have NEVER been portrayed as Muslim. They’re not even drawn as Arab 99% of the time, plus Ra’s al Ghul’s origins as a character are rooted in the yellow peril stereotype. So you can’t retroactively claim Talia al Ghul as a Muslim character.
2. Someone asked you if Queen Bee was Muslim years ago and your response was “probably,” indicating that you hadn’t really thought about it - and why would you, religion was never part of this show originally

In the comics, Queen Bee is depicted as white, you guys chose to make her Arab, so there’s no history of her being a Muslim character either. The whole concept of Bialya being a terrorist state in the Middle East is also rooted in racism and Islamophobia, so I don’t know if you really want to claim that either.

There’s nothing wrong with making Muslim characters villains as long as they don’t fall into racial caricatures, but you CANNOT claim those two as Muslim characters to deflect criticism of Halo. It is revisionist history and you know it. Furthermore, it wouldn’t change the fact that Halo is the first and only hijabi, who face their own unique stereotypes in media. If you think just because they’re Arab, that automatically makes them Muslim, that’s a whole other problem.

You messed up by making your first explicitly Muslim character a possessed corpse. Stop making excuses and own up to it.
