black muslim traitors

That statement would be more accurate if it said:

"A Black Muslim traitor", or better yet, "A Black Muslim who is accused of being a traitor".

There's only one person who is accused of this crime, and no one has been convicted of it yet. It would be racist if you were to generalize this one man's alleged actions and extend them to the Black population or the Muslim population as a whole. You seem to be doing this when you say "traitors" (plural), but I'm sure that was not your intention.
