The NY Times has a great piece today about American Muslim artists who are creating videos like this one to challenge stereotypes about Islam.
In December 2007, over 2,000 American Muslims were asked what they wished they could say to the world. This is what they said.
MAS Media Foundation presents "A Land Called Paradise." Unofficial music video for Kareem Salama's "A Land Called Paradise." Directed by Lena Khan.

It's a pity that more people didn't respond to this. It's also a pity that the many Muslims who do not wear head scarves, and the many Muslims who live in a very secular non religous way weren't depicted.
