Abstract
Previous research dealing with the images and “stereotypes” of Arabs and Muslims in Western media has largely verified “that lurid and insidious depictions of Arabs as alien, violent strangers, intent upon battling nonbelievers throughout the world, are staple fare. Such erroneous characterizations more accurately reflect the bias of Western reporters and image-makers than they do the realities of Muslim people in the modern world.”1
