metadata.value: This analysis is a part of a bigger study on the presentation of Muslim women in the media.
  The focus here is on Ilhan Omar, the first Muslim Somali-born woman in American Congress,
  and more specifically on the latest publications on Omar which delve into her personal
  family life and the alleged marriage she has entered into with her brother, so that she can
  provide him with a green card for the USA. The topic presents a cross-section of several major
  fields of study such as feminism, media studies, and culture studies as the emphasis is on
  the biased media representation intended to diminish the real worth of a woman politician
  who is a carrier of several different identities, namely: gender, religious, ethnic, and class. The
  corpus for this study consists of 42 articles published in various online media over a period
  of four months from January 2020 to April 2020. The paper argues that first, the presentation
  Ilhan Omar enjoys is gendered and second, that it is subjected to the stereotypical image of
  Muslim women as submissive and silent, being of a lower status than men, especially in a
  male-dominated field such as politics. In addition, it is also argued that although Omar breaks
  the existing stereotypes of Muslim women, the way media present her actually reinforces the
  preconceived ideas she refutes. To prove the above, the main methods of analysis applied are
  Critical Discourse Analysis along with Multi-modal analysis when the non-verbal part of the
  presentation on the image is concerned.
