OrientalismOrientalism is the "manner" or discourse in which the Western imperial subject presents itself as a sovereign subject in an act of dissimulation. The topic of Orientalism is quite interesting given that Orientalism is seen as a “way of thinking based on a particular epistemology and ontology that establishes a deep division between East and West” (Turner, 1994: p96). This division is what Said (2003) defines as “the fundamental distinction between East and West” and which leads to the “reduction and misrepresentation of the East by the West” (Stanley, 2013). This distinction is mainly due to orientalism means the preconceived belief of the West about the types of people (orients) who live in the East and their lifestyle and cultural beliefs, reflecting on the way they act. However, these ideologies are formed about the East by Westerners without meeting or visiting the inhabitants (Orients) (Said 2003; Akintunde E Akinade 2010: Jack G Shaheen 2009; Mahdi 1985). We can therefore understand that Orientalism is not something that was invented by the theorist; however, it is the discussion of the ways in which the East is perceived by the West. Said (2003) states that “the East and the West are the work of man and Orientalism is a system of ideological factors”. Thus Orientalism is neither innocent nor pure, but an example of Western power and domination. Foucault argues that "Orientalism is the discourse of power." the choice to act to demean and exclude the groups and societies they desire. “Orientalism is not a transcendental orientalism... means of paper ......f and has therefore become the means of propulsion of the Orient. Modern orientalists shape ideologies in how they negatively portray Islam in the mass media; these representations can be understood in published images that speak of Muslims as acts of terror, backward, limited and oppressed. Said points out that false statements about Islam are the only language they understand. They maintain the role arbitrarily and go against Islam. He also argues that the Western (especially American) view of the Middle East is a place full of criminals and terrorists governed by Islamic fundamentalism and produces a deeply distorted image of the diversity and complexity of the world. millions of Arabs and Muslims in the West. It is therefore crucial to counter Islamophobic discourse and understand how it is preserved by elites..
