Hanifa Deen is fed up with writing about Muslims, reading about Muslims, defending Muslims and obsessing about Muslims in general but is having trouble getting off the ‘Muslim merry-go-round’. She recognises that Australian Muslims suffer from a massive PR problem and that an anti-Muslim ‘virus’ is spreading throughout the land in plague proportions. Can the disease be halted in time? Are anti–Islamophobic injections the answer? Is it too late to hire a marketing expert to turn this trend around?
