The debates surrounding the relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims seem to follow various economic cycles. These discussions gain momentum when an event points to possible deficiencies in these relationships, becomes widely disseminated in the media, and turns into a key event. How is it possible to stage the conflict between Islam and the West using such events? This is the question the book addresses. A proven method for meeting the expectations of an audience with anti-Islamic or anti-Western portrayals appears to be the staged and dramatized use of symbols, metaphors, and myths. The orchestrated argument of Islamic terrorism seems sufficient to activate the myths that all Muslims desire jihad. The controversial Muhammad caricature or a derogatory video about the Prophet would also contribute to this.
