Abstract
There have been negative depictions of Muslims in popular culture particularly since World War II. The politics of othering is rooted in the interaction between the United States and, to a lesser degree, Canada with Muslim-majority countries and the immigration of people from these countries into North America. Following the events of September 11, 2001, the politics of othering Muslims increased significantly in the United States and less significantly—though still notably—in Canada.
