In four parts, it briefly reviews terminology and literature connected to Islamophobia and Muslimophobia, histories of looking and the power of visual culture, pedagogy and critical viewing habits, the Riz Test, and examples of student engagement and course learning goals met through this assignment. Then, readers can use the concrete tool in their courses and practice critical viewing habits. This paper was part of a panel on "Teaching Asian Religions Through Film" presented at the Association for Asian Studies conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, March 24-27, 2022.
