Since when has there been a time that there was ever a good Muslim representation in Hollywood? Out of 100 depictions, only one happens to be ‘somewhat close’ to a Muslim portrayal. Considering the main fact that having a Muslim representation which is ‘exactly accurate’ has never even been a case at all. Which, if you ask me, is quite unfortunate. Seeing that they are turning a blind eye to people with great depth by stereotyping them. But nevertheless, we do appreciate the effort of those very rare dramas, films and shows that actually do their research. Who actually tries to understand that there is much more to these people than what appears on the surface level? As well as look beyond stereotypes and try to hear the stories of the range of different Muslim people around the world. Who subsequently aim to showcase a wider spectrum of the Muslim world that is more or less hidden behind the so-called Islamophobia. Trying to explore a dimension that is much beyond the stereotypical representation of a particular religion or a culture. Thus, more or less, it is safe to say that the Hulu show “Ramy” does come into the category of a ‘somewhat close’ television series that actually puts that much-needed effort. And surprisingly enough, Ramy Season 3 is going to be returning to your screens after a long hiatus!

- Zainab (his bride) was also the daughter of his Sheikh and mentor. Which subsequently strained his relationship with the Sheikh, who lashes out at him after knowing the truth.
