Muslim writers vary freely though readers apply one dominant frame to them
Evidence
This is not the same as saying that all writers of Muslim background everywhere produce texts that reinforce or are delimited by this frame.

Here, however, I describe the dominant current mode of understanding texts that address or emerge from the Muslim world and find an audience outside it. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 539
