Shaheen, noting that only Native Americans have been more relentlessly smeared on the silver screen, painstakingly makes his case that  Arab  has remained Hollywoods shameless shorthand for  bad guy,  long after the movie industry has shifted its portrayal of other minority groups. In this comprehensive study of over one thousand films, arranged alphabetically in such chapters as  Villains,   Sheikhs,   Cameos,  and  Cliffhangers,  Shaheen documents the tendency to portray Muslim Arabs as Public Enemy #1brutal, heartless, uncivilized Others bent on terrorizing civilized Westerners.
