Because the Muslim population is based in cities and relatively small, nativists have little contact with and are unlikely to focus on  Muslims for long: "We are not the main target of xenophobia because there are bigger groups to be racist about."

I don’t think there is a Republican foreign policy or something that’s coherent in any real way. Biden’s withdrawal comes directly from Trump’s deal so this is a major legacy not just of Biden but of Trump, so I think that complicates the whole story.
