As Muslim themes and characters appear more often in television and film, writers and producers face a complex challenge: presenting multidimensional characters and stories that transcend stereotypes. MOST invites you to use our resources freely. Our goals are to:

Provide the Hollywood creative community with resources and information on Muslims in America and around the world. Engage thought lea

ders and the entertainment community in an on-going dialogue about the United States and the Muslim world. MOST has two key components:

A resource service — fast facts, polls, research, experts—about Islam and the Muslim world. Seminars and special events that bring key policymakers and opinion leaders together with writers, creative executives, agents, and actors to discuss issues related to the Muslim world. The MOST Story Bank:

The MOST Story Bank is a collection of stories from different news publications, designed to provide writers and producers with information about events, people and cultural perspectives of Muslims in America and around the world. MOST is a nonprofit entity and the various postings in the Story Bank are not generating any revenue for MOST or any of its partnering organizations.
