This paper seeks for showing the conflict between the west discourse with the Islamic discourse using Discourse Analysis of Foucault in the greatest cultural industery of USA i.e. Hollywood Cinema. Due to this fact, we embark on the geneology analysis of Islamophibia and Iranophobia through Faoucault's discourse analysis and then we apply the aforementioned analysis in Gordan's 2010 Hollywood movie "Unthinkable", which is among the most robust cases for showing the alleged conflict.
This movie represents the most apparet legal requests of Muslem nations in the form of a terrorist muslem who has placed 3 different atomic bomds in America. The analysis of this movie could be a good viewpoint towards what is nowadays assumed to be Iranophobia and Islamophobia in Western media
