A bunch of oxymorons?

Recent events have made me wonder about one thing.  We have people on
this list who are atheists, agnostics, various shades of Christianity,
Jews, Baha'is, at least one Buddhist, possibly Daoists, but as far as I
know no conlanger who is openly Muslim or from that community.  I wonder
about this.  Historically there has been one Sufi conlanger that I know
evidence has been found for.  Is there something about Muslim conlangers
that makes such a description an oxymoron?

It's all over now.  They stand backs to the wall
Waiting for the fascist's sword to fall
In the desperation of a young life about to end
He turns before the bullet, And forgives a friend.
