Sophia Rose Arjana argues that fictive Muslim characters, and in particular male Muslim monsters, have contributed to the Western construction of knowledge about Islam.

The book examines how Christians, then Europeans, and later Americans have formulated an idea about Muslims that is situated in these concerns.
