How the Egyptian revolution changed U.S. image of Muslims

by EBOO PATEL

A few years ago I did a cable television interview on the youth bulge in majority-Muslim countries.

It’s a huge group, I told the anchor, and they have the potential to make a really positive contribution to the world.

The images played on the screen during my interview were of young people doing training exercises at a terrorist camp – images in total contradiction to my message. I was livid.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then everything I was saying was totally drowned out.
