    This document summarizes Edward Said's views on how Islam is portrayed in Western news media. In 3 sentences: Islam and Muslim-majority countries are often reduced to simplistic labels and stereotypes by Western experts and media; the reality of Islam and its diverse cultures are more complex than the fabricated narratives presented in the West; Western portrayals of Islam provoke quick negative responses and ignore differences between Islam and issues in other parts of the world.
