Whiteness may be reconstructed around Abrahamic identity to retain dominance

Evidence

Today, the Racial Muslim is a terrorist, permanently foreign, uncivilized, and presumptively disloyal. Tomorrow, the Racial Muslim may be a model minority or an honorary White utilized to further US geopolitical interests abroad and culture wars at home. As the United States experiences an unprecedented demographic shift wherein Whites will no longer be the majority race, the majoritarian political system may give way to a minority-­ controlled nation. In the alternative, Whiteness may be socially reconstructed around an Abrahamic national identity that encompasses groups not currently within its ambit—including a subset of Muslims—to retain White dominance. — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 1074
