Besides we write a lot about "white Muslims", we don't promote it as a proper identity, rather we accept it as a sociological reality in colonial countries like USA.
From the traditional Islamic point of view, there are 2 visions of our identity.
As stated al-Masudi, all Indo-Europeans same as Turkish-speaking people are descendants of Yapheth, son of the Nuh, peace upon him. Another vision for descendants of Western European peoples specifically is according to Ibn Manzūr, who defined Rūm as “a well-known human stock; the singular is called Rūmī", whose "lineage is ultimately traced back to ‘Īsū, a son of Prophet Ishāq, peace upon him”.
As for the modern scientific point of view, native Europeans, whom we are speaking about, connected not only by so called "whiteness", but also by the common languages, genetics and culture.
So, we, European descendant Muslims, have a legitimate basis for our natural identity from all possible points of view.

Good article of Ovamir Anjum about a proper Caliphate, the main idea of which we support.
But this quote:
"Western, European, white recruits were treated as superior, they were given leading positions from where they controlled the messaging and even the direction, and recruits from poorer, darker countries were routinely humiliated and marginalized".
Man, you can't seriously show even an ISIS as a kind of white supremacy, lol. It is too much.
And returning to the main idea of this article and connecting it with this quote, we need to understand one thing.
With such jealousy to any European descendant Muslims, since we are tiny minority in the Muslim world, if it will be united in some kind of Caliphate, to survive in it as a specie, we also will need our own flat or may be few flats (Bosnia, Albania, etc) in this house.

Who Wants the Caliphate? | Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research
Having collapsed nearly a century ago, and hijacked by extremist movements, the institution of the Caliphate has become synonymous with barbarism, backwardness, and incompatibility with modernity. But is the idea of a caliphate still relevant, and can it…
And here we go again... Secularists not just want religious values not to be imposed on them. They want themselves be able to regulate values in conservative families.

'The story of European Islam is not a new one. It goes back 14 centuries, and it has roots across the Continent. The current era has its own challenges and specificities, but Muslim Europeans aren’t operating from a tabula rasa — they have the experiences of previous generations, whether among European Muslim communities in the Balkans, the descendants of Muslim Spaniards who have rediscovered their roots in Muslim Andalusia, recent convert communities, or the generations of descendants of immigrants over the last few decades. All of these are part of that story.'
