dc.descriptionThe first decade of the twenty-first century has witnessed an astronomical rise in public demand for information about the Islamic regions of the Middle East, North Africa, and western Asia, especially in the United States. The 9/11 attacks, and the subsequent American invasions of Afghanistan in October 2001 and Iraq in March 2003, were largely responsible for this increased desire for information about a part of the world that many in the United States vie surprisingly, many of the books, television programs, films, and websites that have emerged in recent years reflect these feelings, and often even cater to them. Many have focused exclusively on Islam, or political topics related to it, in their purported effort to explain the region to the public. Books with derogatory titles like The Politically Incorrect View of Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion even have made it to The New York Times bestseller list (it is doubtful that similar books about Judaism or Christianity ever would be published, let alone make the bestseller list).en_US
