Keywords:
Islamophobia, portrayal, 9/11, Islam, terror, threat, media, cinemaAbstract
This study aims to examine the prevalent and pressing issue of Islamophobia and religious intolerance worldwide. It will analyze the multiple causes, diverse manifestations, and profound social consequences of these phenomena, with a particular focus on media portrayals and cinematic depictions in the post-9/11 era. These representations and images significantly contribute to the perpetuation of stereotypes and biases against Muslims. This paper has combined interpretations from multiple sources of supplemental material using rigorous content analysis. The objective of this endeavor is to identify and elucidate the patterns of anti-Muslim bias, analyze the media narratives that shape public opinion, and examine the socio-political ramifications experienced by Muslim communities worldwide.
