Minhaj talks about his voice as a Muslim American and the changing of Muslim representation in American media during an interview on an episode of The Breakfast Club. In the interview, Minhaj explains that the problem is violent extremism, which as he says “has no color or religion.” He follows by saying “there are groups of insane people in the world,” and that “that's the real conversation that we need to have.” Minhaj also explains in the same interview that it is crazy to think that “1.5 billion Muslims want to destroy the earth.”  He wants to get rid of the terrifying perceptions that shows like Homeland promote and replace them with “what 99.999 percent of new brown America have to deal with” in his stand-up comedy special Homecoming King.
