What's the connection between the Covenant and islamophobic views of Islamic states other than they're religious?

That's enough, we are talking about Usians here.

Halo 1 released on november 2001, and while 9/11 likely did not had enough time to impact on game development, "islamic terrorism" had been the premier media bad guy in the 90's after state propaganda ordered easing up on Russia after USSR destruction and China after its opening and seeming liberalisation.

Plenty of people did connected it back then to the spinning up "war on terror", even if it was unintended, and obvious glorification of US Armed Forces in the game didn't helped.
