Write an article online (from some media source) which you think shows media bias in its
coverage of Islam or Muslims, in the sense that it promotes what Edward Said would
consider to be an Orientalist discourse, and/or it supports Samuel Huntington’s notion of
an inherent “Clash of Civilizations” between Islam and the West. It does not matter
whether the apparent Orientalism, and/or the presumption of a clash of civilizations, is
implicit or explicit in the article. Provide a full citation of the media article at the beginning
of your essay, as well as a weblink, and then explain why you think it promotes an
Orientalist discourse and/or the notion of a presumed Clash of Civilizations. Relate your
discussion to its potential impact on Islamophobia, and explain why others might disagree
with your reading of the article.
