The goal of this investigation is to figure out how Religion and Spirituality are represented in the British media. The author points out that the British Muslim community is depicted as "a foreign other" in the press. As a result of this misrepresentation, it is suggested that the formation of a "racist," specifically Islamophobia, may be traced back to cultural representations of the "other." Accordingly, the article provides a summary/overview of how ethnic minorities have been portrayed in the British press, and argues that the portrayal of British Muslims and Islam follows these themes of 'deviance' and 'un-Britishness'. Beginning in the 1960s and continuing into the 1970s, early studies investigated the media's concern about "race" as an issue, as well as the racialization of "immigrants" in particular. A number of studies have used various forms of content analysis in connection to the provincial and local press, major papers, the modern media, and local radio, among other things.
