Anti-Muslim prejudice becomes increasingly prevalent since 911 Incident. Medias play an important role in the spread and formation of anti-Muslim prejudice. We examines the effect of media depictions on the prejudice formation process. Particularly, our research is conducted in China, a country has more than 10 million Muslims. The result shows that reports about terrorist attacks will arise individuals’ prejudice towards Muslim significantly. Specifically, fear is a mediating variable in the process that is mentioned above. However, the role of religious groups that are mentioned in the reports cannot be told clearly.
