3. Some preliminary research has been done specifically on the topic of the rep- resentation of Jews and women in the textbooks available at some mosques. Freedom House, for example, published a report entitled
   Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology In- vade American Mosques
   (
   2005
   ).
   

   The findings of this report, however, were disputed by a reviewer who pointed out a number of flaws to the study, though he also goes on to acknowledge that the re- port “highlights an ugly undercurrent in modern Islamic discourse” which American- Muslims need to confront.

   . Another work exploring textbooks in the Middle East further com-
   

   plicates the picture, pointing out that representations of Jews in Arab textbooks are often “in dialogue with Israeli textbooks,” which “similarly represent Arabs pejoratively.” Eleanor Abdella Doumato and Gregory Starrett,

9. The problematics of identity in which American Muslims, like other minori- ties, are caught up in America are not unlike—as Tori Moi illuminatingly explores in her essay “‘I Am Not a Woman Writer!’”—those in which women may find themselves caught up in this country even to this day, as Drew Faust’s implicitly corrective remarks (cited above), made as recently as
   2007
   , themselves indicate.
