I have been wondering what it would be like to get a Muslim to play captain of the Enterprise. Start Trek has always been on the cutting edge of race relations and gender taboos. The crew on the deck of Enterprise had a Russian, Checkov. There was a Japanese engineer in Sulu and a Swahili African communications officer in Uhura. Not to mention the fact that the main science officer was an alien from the planet Vulcan.

Even with all of that, is it too difficult to include a Muslim on the Enterprise? Imagine having the new Enterprise lead by a Muslim. The current world conflict, as we are portrayed is between Islam and the West. America has always been able to bridge gaps and spread our ideals by the culture of America. Start Trek is the essence of  American pop-cultural. The original Star Trek and the character of James T Kirk are iconic.
