"This book is not a mere academic exercise; it deals with practical issues and problems of the day. This volume represents a substantial step towards redressing a grave imbalance in the literature on Islam in the West at a moment in time when the need for it is great. Professor Mohammad A. Siddiqi's book, Islam, Muslims, and the Media-Myths and Realities, is an excellent addition to the critical examination of the role of the media in the coverage of Islam as well as a valuable source for an understanding of Islam and the Muslim community in America..."
