"The Muslims who arrive here every day from Bangladesh, or India, or Somalia say they find the presence of British Islamists bizarre. They have come here to work and raise their children in stability and escape people like them."
A Islamic view from society who don't understand why Islamists are in Britain.
"anjem Choudhary remains a constantly invited figure, even on the BBC, because he offers them entertainment. People are being sucked into a game of sensationalism"
A direct quote that can show an opinion on the whole situation and how sensationalising is helping terrorism.
"There are good reasons for minorities to worry, even though some from the EDL carried banners saying they were not racist. During the 4 July protes
t many participants chanted "Muslims out".
The quote above can be used to show the impact of the representations of terrorism in the media.
"We're here to contribute, we are British and we love this country"
A quote to be used to show Muslims in society can be a positive thing.
"Yusuf is known as one of the most moderate and reasonable Muslims who does a lot of work for charity and campaigns for peace. I cannot imagine how he came to be on such a list. This is a slap in the face for the bridge building between the communities which we have all been working for".
I could use this quote to show how a Muslim feels towards the issue dealing with it in society.
Film review -
"Just as “Rambo” offered the fantasy of do-over on Vietnam, “The Kingdom” can be seen as a wishful revisionist scenario for the American response to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism."
This quote will be helpful as i can use it to show others opinions on the text I looked into and how it fits into to society.
"One thing that happens, again and again, is that peoples' assumptions prevent them from seeing the actual person standing before them".
This shows that throughout the movie, many people are stereotyped within the narrative. An example of this is the Saudi captain who people assume is a bad person from his Islamic background Again this links to SHEP as he is only being stereotyped due to society at that time, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks
Islam is often looked upon as a "extremist", "terrorist", or "fundamental" religion.
This shows the stereotypes based around islam, which links to the Saudi captain, as people think he was involved with the bombings.
But Hollywood typically restricts its portrayals of Asians to a limited range of clichéd stock characters
This links as it is the opposite in the film The Kingdom, the asian man is shown to be in a lead role.
