"This book goes a long way in combating Islamophobia and exposing how media representations often exacerbate the ignorant fear of Islam and Muslims."—Publishers Weekly"On Islam: Muslims and the Media couldn't appear at a more useful time. . . It is an indispensable guide for reporters and for anyone who wants to gain a more informed, nuanced view of the faith and its adherents."—Bloom Magazine"The formal essays are equally fresh, candid, and direct. . . .
