Is Black Panther Islamophobic?

Marvel's Black Panther has already become a total blockbuster.

There are many reasons why people all over the world celebrate the movie. It shows African culture in a great and unique way, the cast is mainly African or Afro-American and there are strong, independent women.

However, some discussions and controversies have emerged too. One of them is the depiction of the Islamic religion in the movie. Although hundreds of millions of Muslims are living on the African continent, the movie depicts Muslims and Islam just for a few minutes, and in a very negative way.

[SPOILERS from now on.]

It was the scene when we see Boko Haram-like gunmen appear on the screen. 

"Wallahi (by God) I will shoot her right now," one of the men said while placing a gun to a girl's head. 

Apparently, the men abducted a group of women and forced them to wear the hijab (headscarves). After Black Panther liberates them, they remove their headscarves.

Personally, I do not think that the film makers wanted to be intentionally Islamophobic. As it is known, Marvel has a very diverse crew, including many people from different cultures and religions. 

However, I also believe that the scene was not cool. 

Or as the author of the scene says:

No, I don't expect only positive portrayals of Muslims in movies, because that would be false. And I am not claiming that the movie bashes Islam. But it does contribute to, and reinforce, the poor and stereotypical views of Islam and Muslims.
