Abstract

Muslims have suffered from stereotyping after the 9/11 attacks. Since then, they have been seen as terrorists and treated as less human,. In addition, Muslim women have been particularly targeted in the American community because they can be easily identified and they cannot conceal their identity unless they remove the veil that covers the hair and head. Therefore, this study discusses the lives of Muslim women in post-September 11 by examining Rohina Malik’s play Unveiled, which imitates reality and shows how Muslim women of different nationalities have lived in the world of “Us” versus “ them” because they have been seen as terrorists after the tragic attack of 9/11. The paper analyzes the speech of Muslim and non-Muslim characters in the play, and applies the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) to explain the reasons for stereotyping and its consequences so that we can be aware of the main stereotyping factors that result in positive or negative outcomes.
