Non Tibi Spiro: Next up: The Eternal Muslim?
From: Non Tibi Spiro: Next up: The Eternal Muslim?
Non Tibi Spiro shows a movie (hat tip reader ici over at Juan Cole’s Informed Comment)
The Planet of the Arabs is a 9 minute short movie on YouTube by American director Jacqueline Salloum:
A trailer-esque montage spectacle of Hollywood’s relentless vilification and dehumanization of Arabs and Muslims.
Inspired by the book
“Reel Bad Arabs”
by Dr. Jack ShaheenOut of 1000 films that have Arab & Muslim characters (from yrs 1896 to 2000)
12 were postive depictions, 52 were even handed and the rest of the 90O and so were negative.
Non Tibi Spiro rightfully refers to the image of the eternal jew, something that seems to present is those fragments as well but then for muslims: the eternal muslim. After reading the comments overthere it is clear that the idea of The Eternal Muslim is already born.
