    The portrayal of Arab Muslims or Muslims in general in the past thirty years- in cartoons and films- has reached Nazi like proportions (see fig 1.1). In 1996 the Miami Herald pictured a bearded ape creature with the word Islam tatoed on his turban saying “we bomb innocent women and children to smithereens” ;( Hurley 127-28). Greedy, hook-nosed, vicious, violent, rapacious, and turbaned or kaffyiehed […] Arabs have replaced the cartoon Jews of Volkischer Beobacher (a Nazi newspaper that published anti-Semitic propaganda) or Der Ewige Fude (“The Eternal Jew” a hate propaganda film created by the Nazis).

    Larry Kelly, in his review of Now They Call Me Infidel, states that “Ms. Darwish makes a compelling case that in lands such as Egypt, where Islam dominates, underclass inhabitants such as Coptic Christians, Orthodox Christians, Monophysites, Zoroastrains, Hindus, Buddhists, and of course, Jews continue to be brutalized, but none more so than Islamic women.” Kelly describes her book as an indictment of a misogynistic polygamous world of a “moderate” Egyptian society. Kelly says those who believe that all societies deserve equal respect would be doubtful of Darwish’ assertion that her education was no different than anywhere else in the Arab world and that Arab children in Middle Eastern countries are taught that Jews are hated by God and their mere existence is a sin, therefore they should be exterminated. According to Larry Kelly, Darwish’ mother’s experiences after her husband died points to only one of the many destructive aspects of polygamy, as “none of her former friends could countenance the risk of tempting their husbands with the company of a beautiful you, needy widow.”…

    Osama Bin Laden

    I had heard, repeatedly, that he was a relative latecomer to the Palestinian cause, that he had essentially declared solidarity with them merely to gain popularity in the larger Islamic world. That is not borne out by this book. In his very first speech, dated to 1994, bin Laden is already sounding the notes that reverberate throughout this collection: the entire Muslim world is under seige, from Afghanistan, to Palestine, to Iraq, to Chechnya and Bosnia; the humiliation (and emasculation) of Islam by the western world is the implicit goal. Now, clearly, one can quarrel with his analysis, but such a message has broad appeal. The editor and translator are to be commended for striking just the right balance here; they provide imformation, really crucial information, without taking immediate sides and without claiming a false neutrality either.…

    World War One to American Patriotism: Success by the United States’ Film Industry Watching movies in the early twentieth century served as America’s convenient entertainment, but the American film industry also played as an important factor into the initiation of America as a dominant and thriving country. As much of Europe was in distress during World War One, the United States’ decision to stay neutral until the brink of the war (in 1917) allowed room for the American film industry to creatively expand cinema through propaganda films, short films, and newsreels. The idea of transferring propaganda posters onto the screen was an important move in order to integrate, “the fabric of American life by proving entertainment, information,…
