505 0  When life gives you a (Don) Lemon -- The media crusade 
       against Islam -- The Sharia bogeyman -- White terror -- 
       When Islamophobia wears a badge -- What would Muhammad do?
       -- We are all scapegoats. 
520    When a murderous psychopath goes on a killing spree, law 
       enforcement officials and the media never make his 
       religion the central issue--unless he happens to be a 
       Muslim. Then it sets off another frenzied wave of 
       commentary about the inherent evils that lurk within the 
       Muslim faith. From Fox News talking heads, who regularly 
       smear Muslim leaders as secret terrorists, to Bill Maher, 
       who has made Islam a routine target, it has become widely 
       acceptable to libel a religion with a following of over 
       1.5 billion people--nearly one-quarter of the world's 
       population. Now popular commentator Arsalan Iftikhar--
       better known as "The Muslim Guy"--offers a spirited 
       defense of his faith that is certain to win him wide 
       acclaim--and yes, another round of overheated scolding 
       from the usual media quarters. Iftikahr's spirited defense
       of his faith is certain to hit a chord during the 2016 
       campaign season, as politicians and pundits vie to be the 
       toughest on the block when it comes to escalating the 
       hostilities in the Middle East, often demonizing Islam in 
       the process. With his witty and levelheaded demeanor, the 
       author will cut through all the sound and fury as a voice 
       of sanity and reason.
