Reel Bad Arabs, by Dr. Jack Shaheen


As you're reading Ahmed's Islam Under Siege, think also about the images of Arabs and Muslims you have in your mind and that you see and have seen portrayed around you or discussed in the media or in books or conversations. If you saw Disney's Aladdin as a child did you think about the view of Arabs it portrayed? Ponder Shaheen's film clip and look for further examples. If you're interested Shaheen has a book by this name. There are also many more You Tube videos and a documentary film.
