• mentions the increase in Islamophobia and how it was in turn reflected in the way media outlets addressed and stereotyped Muslim populations.

• the text mentions 

• the change happened not only in news but in entertainment coverage as well

• ( in my opinion Islamist extremists have come to replace the Nazis , russians and Communists.)
