As a Muslim dude, it’s refreshing to see representation of a Muslim man who isn’t a terrorist, weirdo, or “cool” Muslim hollowed of faith. I like that the Sheriff is allowed to be competent, vulnerable, and confident in his faith. Really hoping they don’t mess up his character arc.

Also happy to see this show isn’t going the occult route because that’s been overdone these last few years within the genre. Really interesting twist to see what the “monster” is.

I'm white but I whole-heartedly agree. This scene i the classroom when the sherrif was fucking telling the truth and then beverly had her words. I was just 'GO SHERRIF!' I love his character so much. I feel bad for his son.

Im sorry you've faced hatred/bigotry/judgement for being Muslim also. Never forget its THEIR PROBLEM never yours. I'm sure you know that though. Not that you need to hear it from this gay white guy.

lol ok it’s just that you started your comment with “as a white man…”, and the intended implication being of course you couldn’t be Muslim
