Okay, I don't want to sound like a /pol/tard. But I was thinking about The Chronicles of Narnia, and are the Calormenes meant to be an allegory for Islam?
Think about it. And considering they were largely responsible for the fall of Narnia... what was Lewis getting at here?
Jace Hill
Yes. Blatantly, obviously yes. This is a dumb thread that could've been just a post in /sffg/.

Why would I talk about literature in a genre fiction general?
Evan Reyes
Nobody is suggesting you do.
Joseph Miller
Yes they are.
Ethan Bell
Go to your nearest bookshop, see which section they keep The Chronicles in.
How can you not get that the Calormenes are Muslims? I got that when I was 6.
Sebastian Harris
First off, bookshops are all out of business so that's a funny joke.
Second, I didn't read the books until a couple years ago and I haven't done a whole lot of thinking about Muslims until recently so it didn't occur to me until now.
Jordan Kelly
>and are the Calormenes meant to be an allegory for Islam I think you mean Arabs, Indonesia and parts of Africa have muslims as well
John Sanchez
No they're not, and exactly how much thinking about Muslims did you think I did as a child? You're thick.
Matthew Moore
Apparently a lot if you were thinking about them at six years old? Is it possible that you are Muslim?
