I get infuriated by people who dismiss Islam and am often amazed by how distorted views about Islamic culture and religion persist. Sometimes I ponder on the possible causes...Maybe it has something to do with this:
Our mind works with images far more than we care to admit, especially when it comes to things that are distant from our ordinary lives. Islamic cultures don't really produce much images or imagery. Most of the images or imagery concerning the Muslim world are created by us. We tell their visual story almost entirely. In a way they are mute while our screaming and jeering can be heard across the world.
