\nAvoid. Stereotypical term generally referring to Arabs.<\/p>\n

Which is all fine and good when it comes to what should show up in the newspaper, but I can’t say that I’ve usually — if ever — heard this used to refer to Arabs <\/em>(or, more properly, since the book points out that “Arabs” is not synonymous with “Muslims,” to Muslims). At least in the crowds I read, it’s almost always used to refer to Christian <\/em>fundamentalists.<\/p>\n

But, then, the list of contributors …<\/p>\n

It was compiled with the help of the Asian American Journalists Association; National Association of Black Journalists; National Association of Hispanic Journalists; National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association; the Native American Journalists Association; the National Center on Disability and Journalism; the South Asian Journalists Association; and “100 Questions and Answers About Arabs: A Journalist’s Guide” by the Detroit Free Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n

… doesn’t seem to focus on that <\/em>particular interest group.<\/p>\n
