Categorization
- XREF: Directly extends the readerās project on the Muslim monster: the medieval monsterās sexualized threat carries into Geller/Spencer-era Islamophobia. This is a primary-source breadcrumb for the manufactured-image thesis.
- SEED: Could anchor an article on the continuity of the sexualized Muslim-male trope from medieval romance to contemporary Islamophobic blog culture.
