The pressing issue of Islamophobia is both fuelled and defined by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/news\/2018\/oct\/18\/miqdaad-versi-very-polite-fight-against-british-media-islamophobia\">misrepresentation and stereotyping<\/a>\u00a0of Muslims in the media. Instead of challenging the images of the \u201coppressed\u201d Muslim woman, or the violent Middle Eastern man that propagate our media, mainstream films often reinforce them. But films are also platforms with the potential to create change through alternative narratives. Our visual culture can play a crucial role in the way we understand the world. So the question is, what do our visual platforms tell us about our cultural perceptions of Muslims? In other words, how are Muslims represented in our stories?<\/p>\n<p>With backgrounds in education research and tech respectively,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/goldsmiths.academia.edu\/shabib\">Sadia Habib<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shaf.co\/\">Shaf Choudry<\/a>\u00a0have kickstarted a project that not only asks this question, but also strives to offer evidence-based answers. In an attempt to quantify the representation of Muslims, the duo has coined what they call\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.riztest.com\/\">the Riz Test<\/a>. Inspired by the Bechdel test, (which challenges viewers to consider the way women are represented in whatever they happen to be watching) and Riz Ahmed\u2019s speech, Habib and Choudry use five points to measure the depiction of Muslims in films and TV shows.<\/p>\n<h3>The Riz Test<\/h3>\n<p>In their own words, the Riz Test: \u201cis a project to measure the portrayal of Muslims in film and TV. What\u2019s new is that we\u2019re creating a data set that measures how poorly Muslims are represented.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7640\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7640\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7640\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin.jpg 950w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin-620x353.jpg 620w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Riz-test_ReelBadArabs_aladdin-940x535.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scene from 1992 Dinsey&#8217;s classic film &#8220;Aladdin&#8221;.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Any film with at least one identifiably Muslim character can be put to the test. The test asks, is the character:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Talking about, the victim of, or the perpetrator of terrorism?<\/li>\n<li>Presented as irrationally angry?<\/li>\n<li>Presented as superstitious, culturally backwards or anti-modern?<\/li>\n<li>Presented as a threat to a Western way of life?<\/li>\n<li>If the character is male, is he presented as misogynistic? or if female, is she presented as oppressed by her male counterparts?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, the film has failed the test.<\/p>\n<p>What is shocking is that many critically acclaimed shows fail the test. When I interviewed the pair about the Riz Test recently Choudry told me that the recent BBC hit drama Bodyguard \u201cfailed all five criteria of the Riz Test within the first 12 minutes of its first episode\u201d. Habib added that there \u201care serious consequences to these misrepresentations. Muslim women, especially those visibly marked by the hijab, are often targets of abuse and Islamophobia\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Moving beyond stereotypes<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>The Riz Test: \u201cis a project to measure the portrayal of Muslims in film and TV.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most Muslims will tell you that the images and tropes used in portraying the community mainly rely on lazy, racist and Islamophobic stereotypes. The films that fail the Riz Test reproduce such images and, by drawing attention to these misrepresentations and moving towards something concrete and quantifiable, the test smashes any assumptions that Islamophobia in media is merely a myth.<\/p>\n<p>We must demand better from our media. One way to counter this is to invite an alternative way of thinking and to challenge the discourse and culture around Muslims and their representations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7638\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7638\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7638\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman.png 1200w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman-1024x708.png 1024w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman-768x531.png 768w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman-620x429.png 620w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Rzi-Test-the-salesman-940x650.png 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7638\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taraneh Alidoosti and Shahab Hosseini in The Salesman, which won an Oscar for best Foreign Language Film in 2017.
