Of course they can, just like they can be of any race. In fact, most American Muslims are African-American.
But when it comes to talking about discrimination, we usually use "Muslim" as a shorthand for "Middle Eastern," e.g. Arabs and Persians, since that's the mental image most Westerners have of Muslims. That's why non-Muslims who look "Middle Eastern," like Sikhs from India, are also targets for Islamophobia.
