Muslims are often misrepresented in the American movies. This helps to depict degrading stereotypes about them in the American society – or even in the West as a whole. Their images differ according to the concurrent political events. Negative images turned from bad to worse accompanying the changes in politics. These negative images have a direct effect on the internal and the external American policies. They also play a pivotal role in constituting the public opinion against Muslims not only in America but also in the West as a whole. This research paper tries to trace these misrepresentations and their effect. It also discusses some strategies and solutions to enhance them, the role of the departments of English Language, literature and simultaneous interpretation of Al-Azhar El Sharif and the roles of the members of the Islamic countries.
