This narrative shows obviously how Arab's are seen in the West. As in the narrative itself, Jack Shaheen says 'we anticipated Arabs as terrible, as miscreants.' When he says we he talks in regards to the West altogether, however particularly about the Americans and Hollywood.
Media assumes a real part in depicting Arabs as low life’s or debased people in light of the fact that it structures pictures and actualizes them in us, by rehashing the same idea again and again. Hollywood has been depicting Arabs from quite a while back, by utilizing anecdotal pictures and a generalization, for example, deserts, palm trees, castles, and belly dance lovers.
Stereotyping is seen in motion pictures, for example, Aladdin where they again depict Arabs

The West needs to understand that Arabs are people as well and we all are comparative from various perspectives. Religion is not to be faulted in light of the fact that West needs to understand that shouldn't something be said about the Christians living in agreement with the Muslims in the Middle East. In the event that religion were the entire cause then Middle East would be differentiated between the religions. Stereotyping needs to change and shamefulness that is occurring will change on the grounds that the new motion picture makers are demonstrating the truth now and are imparting a greatly improved and an aware way, and Arabs as being good people. There is no requirement for bias against Arabs on the grounds that it is morally and ethically wrong to trash people and simply demonstrate the stereotyped
In today's world, the terrorist group ISIS is guessed to be located around Syria. This has started stereotypes and false statements offending people from Syria. Muslims are the main targets to these specific stereotypes of them being terrorists. This is similar to the occurrence in the Crucible, any girl that became sick were perceived to be witches or have some relation with the Devil. In
While people may stereotype others, the ethnic groups that are derogated are greatly
One reason to why Arabs and Muslims are being dehumanized is because of 9/11. Nour Sami Kteily, assistant professor of management and organizations at Northwestern University says, “When people feel like their group is coming under attack from another group … it may increase the blatant levels of dehumanization. " What he is talking about is the attacks of 9/11. Muslims were to blame for this attack, so now some people think that all Muslims are bad. In reality only a tiny percentage of Muslims are extreme like Al-Qaeda.
Both Wahhabism and Salafism, however, are important to the foundation of many terrorist ideals, and both support fundamentalist views that give rise to organizations such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Wahhabism and Salafism have gained a tremendous amount of support in the past few decades through the educational systems of Saudi Arabia, terrorist organizations, and the infiltration into areas such as Syria and Iraq, takinging reign due to their governmental
It is common today for people to assume that all Muslims are terrorists because of the recent terrorist attacks. This is not the only way people in America make assumptions based off stereotypes. The film Remember the Titans clearly shows discrimination between race in America in the 1970s.
Presenter: Hi. Today I am going to be talking about how Muslims have been depicted in Hollywood after the events of 9/11. [PROJECTOR: IMAGES of the films that I have researched, fading in one by one as I am introducing them.] The films that I have chosen for my research are Iron Man (1), The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2), Zero Dark Thirty (3) and Argo (4).
RACISM AND STEREOTYPES AGAINST MUSLIMS SINCE 9/11 Racism towards Muslims existed before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The 9/11 attacks encouraged those who stereotyped them to keep doing so. The horrible 9/11 incident took place on September 11, 2001. The USA was the target of a terrorist strike carried out by militant Islamist extremist networks.
Disagreement over oil and politics caused tension, bubbling and waiting to burst for years. But what really set it off was the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Hatred skyrocketed, and the FBI reported a 1600% increase in hate crime against Muslims the year following 9/11. The Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee confirmed over 700 hate crimes within the 9 weeks after the tragedy. Ever since 9/11 young Muslims have grown up with discrimination.
An example of stereotyping is basing people on their religion, physical appearance, how much money someone has, etc. There have been many stereotypes mostly based on religion like the Jews in the Holocaust, and physical appearances like in the Rwandan Genocide for the Tutsi and Hutus. (Doc. C) If we don't force or establish any specific groups everyone will then begin viewing each other as equal instead of someone higher or lesser. Document G displays two pictures of a man being classified into a group based on his physical appearance.
Stereotypes is something that should never be a problem in the world today because we are all human. Even though we are all humans some are different color, come from different back grounds, and have different beliefs, but; however that shouldn’t change how we view people. In the play The Domestic Crusaders the characters react to stereotypes and are also stereotypical themselves. People really started being stereotypical towards Muslims ever since 9/11 happened. We thought that all Muslims were terrorist and that they were all here to just cause problems, and we all started judging them by not only what they wore on their heads but also their beliefs and how they went about their days with prayers.
Racism and judgement amongst Muslim and Islamic persons, and established American
The word “Muslim” carries with it quite a bit of baggage since the horrid day of the 9/11 attack, and even before it as well. Many people recoil at just the sight of a Muslim woman’s covered head. The first thought that comes to mind, for many people, when picturing a Muslim is a rural man wearing a turban and speaking a foreign language. This image has not only greatly bothered many American Muslims; it has massively affected their day-to-day lives. Adnan Syed, for example, was greatly discriminated against in a courtroom whilst fighting for his freedom.
All Asians are good at math, all blondes are dumb, all Muslims are terrorists - these are all common stereotypes. Without even realizing it, stereotypes have undeniably played an enormous role in individual lives. Minds seem to already set a certain image in them based on the people they encounter. People judge others by their skin tone, ethnicity, and physical appearance unconsciously, and this have been proven by many social experiments. Of course, though these stereotypes might be accurate at times, there are situations where they are completely defied.
With nineteenth century coming to an end, the Middle East has come across both penetrating changes and continuity. The Middle East became the playground for the imperial powers of Britain and France and succeeded by both implicit and explicit control of Western powers leading to permanent consequences that trouble the region to this day. This period of fluidity: through the increase in women’s rights in the region and Pan-Arabism and paradoxically, continuity: through foreign intervention in the region due to significance of the Middle East in the world economy and the prolongation of religious and ethnic tensions that arose due to the mandate system, provide for insights into the potential opportunities of improvement for the future following
This is very important understand because it has lead society to significantly change the way it view Arabs. Nevertheless, there’s more to the documentary then just its title. The documentary attempts to show why the view of Arabs has changed, and what events have contributed to that change and how it affects Arabs today. The documentary starts with the narrator voice Jack Shaheen.
