If the GOP continues to be focused more on China as the "enemy of the moment" and the middle east and terrorism fade as central foreign policy issues is it possible that Muslims will trend back towards being a Republican leaning demographic as they were pre 9/11?

Trump won like 30-35% of Muslims in 2020, IIRC.

I don’t know if I really expect them to be an R demographic like they were pre-9/11 but frankly they’re not a huge portion of the population anyways.

When it comes to non-Whites, Republicans should focus on gaining even more with Hispanics, blue collar AA’s, and maxing out with Asian voters (I guess most Muslims in the US are considered “Asians” too? Idk)

I wouldn't say most. In terms of the census, Arabs/Iranians are classified as white and South Asians are classified as Asian. There are also a fair number of black Muslims.

Indeed, I wonder if there are more Black Muslims than White Muslims in the U.S.?

Probably, given international migration patterns from Europe, MENA, and Sub-Saharan Africa. I don’t think the GOP will win an actual majority of Muslim voters unless we get some sort of Abrahamic religious realignment.

White Muslims undoubtedly make up more of the total Muslim population.

Quote
No racial or ethnic group makes up a majority of Muslim American adults. A plurality (41%) are white, a category that includes those who describe their race as Arab, Middle Eastern, Persian/Iranian or in a variety of other ways (see sidebar on white racial classifications). About three-in-ten are Asian (28%), including those from South Asia, and one-fifth are black (20%).9 Fewer are Hispanic (8%), and an additional 3% identify with another race or with multiple races.

I heard that Muslims are more anti-gay than white evangelicals in the South.

Maybe this is true for 1st gen Muslims. Doubt it for the 2nd and 3rd generations.
