The Demonization of Islam in Contemporary Hollywood Cinema
Abstract
With the end of the Cold War, paradigms of the Cold War could not explain the emerging international environment. Therefore, Western authorities put forward various theories in order to elicit new order. One of those is Samuel Huntington's “clash of civilization” thesis. In his work, Huntington stated that with the end of the Cold War, basic element of the clashes was no longer ideological, instead economic and cultural. In this context, clashes would occur between civilization and religion would be the main source of clashes between civilizations. He allotted the large part of his work to the differences between the Western and Islam civilization. American Sniper were addressed and analysed according to four dogmas of Orientalism in Edward Said's book Orientalism. Accordingly, existence of the state of conflict between Western and Islam civilization mentioned in Huntington's work have been observed. It has been seen that civilization of Islam built as the adversary of the West have been deemed as other and created as enemy.
