   Dear Children of Dean:

   This is an opportunity for many of you to influence media
   representations about Islam. I am tasked with conducted a broad based
   media analysis on two questions regarding Islam:

   a) Media Representation of Islam as inherently violent b) Media
   Representation of Muslim on Muslim Violence

   The research is not persuasive, it is exhaustive. The people who have
   commissioned me want to know about the BREADTH of opinion out there,
   not what I personally think is the opinions out there, or which ones I
   would choose as authoritative.

   So, I'm asking all of you, any of you, to use the comments section and
   give me links to journals, articles, books, youtube media, newspapers,
   and studies. WHAT I DO NOT NEED ARE BLOGS.

   The criterion is pretty basic: The opinion has to be of someone with
   some modicum of qualification; the bigger the names the better, but
   not necessary.

   I know for a fact that a number of people here are experts on the
   entire area of Islam as inherently violent. Others monitor very
   closely discussion about Muslim on Muslim violence.

   Once I've compiled and submitted the stuff I will do my best to get a
   non-proprietary version of the report and share it here.

   I'm collecting materials from now until tomorrow night.
