@muslimahs-in-comics
i’m sorry i don’t write about comics anymore i actually spend my days running a mosque for women and LGBTQ people which a) is super awesome alhamdulillah and b) means my focus has understandably turned away from keeping up to date on Muslim women in comics.
Would anybody like to take over? hmu

Prev1 of 8Next Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse This is a good time to be a nerd. Marvel’s superheroic epics have taken over the box office, and most importantly comics have become cool again. Or, maybe they have? It depends on who you ask. If you’re asking us, then yes, comics are […]
❤ Lovely shout-outs to The Midas Flesh, Help Us! Great Warrior, and BOOM! Box in general! ❤
Boom! Box is the literal best. Now give us a Muslimah Lumberjane plz.
Over the past several decades we’ve seen multiple examples of Muslim women making their way on the page–often in poorly researched or abjectly stereotypical portrayals–created rather transparently in support of U.S. Military involvement in the Middle East and Central Asia. So let’s have a look: welcome into the Dark Ages of Muslim Women in Comics.
We could go through a dozen articles talking about the different Muslim girl characters making waves in the medium, but for now Muslim Girl is going to detail the biggest movers & shakers in comicdom. This is the team that defines today’s era as The Golden Age of Muslim women in comics.
Remember this date. It’s the day Muslimahs in Comics made it to the front page of Muslim Girl!
Where are all the Muslimah Lumberjanes?
In the most recent issue of the all-ages feminist comic Lumberjanes, we see our first appearance of a girl wearing hijab at camp. Which is awesome! So why did it take so long?
Our unnamed hijabi appears in issue no. 25. Why did it take over two years for a comic which unabashedly celebrates diversity and representation, to represent a religion that encompasses nearly a billion people?
HERE’S OUR THEORY: We’ve been there all along!
When our unnamed hijabi appears in this scene, all of the campers are looking up at the mail man waiting for their letters. Aside from very specific and uncommon moments like these, the camp is a girls-only space. SO. Any girl who observes hijab would be free to let her hair down in the day-to-day, and then when the occasional man shows up (such as Mail Day), she could then choose to cover. It fits to the story, is a natural moment to come up, and maybe (just mayyybe) is a dedication to good storytelling and representation rather than a pushing-aside of representation for our ppl.
Also OBVIOUSLY not all Muslim women wear hijab! So OBVIOUSLY we’re everywhere. Our editor here headcanons Mal as Irani (and maybe pesters the LJ creative team all the time about making it canon [sorry, Boom! Studios...]). But wearing hijab is one of an infinite number of ways to “be Muslim”.
What we’d really like to see, is a few Lumberjanes praying together in a scene somewhere. COMIC UNIVERSE GET ON THIS PLZ.
Do you notice the hijabi lumberjane in issue twenty five?
Hell yes! (Still, you know, not great representation wise, she’s unnamed and she’s only in one panel, but she’s there and she’s part of it and it means something that Lumberjanes exists for hijabi girls too).
OUR THEORY is that because the Camp is a hardcore lady-type only space, there is rarely time in the campers’ daily activities that observing hijab would be required. STILL.
THANK YOU LJ TEAM. We have been waiting a while for this.

like/reblog if i hosted a kamala khan fan meetup in nyc if you’d want to/would be able to attend it in the upcoming month/s ?
signal boost!
It’s weird when ppl say “kamala CAN” and can is suppose to be a play on her last name “khan” and it confuses the hell out of me because how r u guys pronouncing khan??? The two words don’t even sound the same lmao
It’s not? I pronounce it the same way I pronounce Aga Khan which was the name of like every school I’ve been in. Maybe the difference is more subtle than I can hear though
I’m not sure how to put the pronunciation by simply writing it because people interpret it differently I might make an audio post !
here: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1FWLSmHLcrB !
Aha! I was thinking it was more or less like “Wrath of Khan,” which I’ve always heard with the hard “k,” so thanks for the clarification.
Yeah no problem !
Early on Sana Amanat (Editor and co-creator of Ms. Marvel) has gone on record pronouncing Kamala’s name with a stress on the second A in her first name (KamAHla) and a hard K in her last (like “wrath of Khan”).
It confused me at first, too, because my in-head pronunciation was p much the same as OP’s (stress on first vowel, “Khan” with a voiceless velar fricative which I would spell in Russian as “Хан”). Maybe Sana & G.Willow went with a more Anglo-friendly pronunciation for their reader’s sake? But tbh I say just go with whatever is easiest and makes sense to you. I’m gonna keep reading up on Каамйла Хан while you catch up on Kamaala KKhan and at the end of the day, she’s Ms. Marvel and amazing and we love her either way. Language is weird.
