Evidence
Some examples of how the language surrounding monsters is also applied to real Muslims are included in this study. For example, the Muslim terrorists examined in later chapters are often described in language similar to that used for the zombie, the un-dead. — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 799
