rofl what are you on

there are a *lot* more things than scimitars that indicate that the calormens are arab/ottoman expies, thread OP just didn't list them all

Tisroc is Allah like Aslan is jesus, there are harems and a sultan and camels and turbans, it's not subtle at all, it's about the same level of cultural coding as Aladdin

also there is shit like 'the one good calormen truly knows aslan in his heart, even though he says tisroc with his mouth' in the Last Battle (iirc) which is word-for-word lewis christian condescension philosophy with the names changed

nobody is ~assuming~ calormens are meant to be arabs just because they're bad guys, it's very obvious - and *also* they're mostly villains

(Tash is the god; Tisroc is the sultan.)

Lewis had a lot of really shitty ideas re: Christianity.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Lewis was a late-in-life convert. He probably went overboard with it as a result.

Thank you. It'd be easy to scoff and be all, "Oh, those silly SJWs!" but it's pretty obvious what Lewis was aiming at. He wasn't particularly subtle, but then he didn't think he had to be, so...

the way he wrote Tash as Allah (PBUH) but a demon was repulsive.

The book was more racist than sexist which is saying something for the time. But yeah 12 year old me loved that book.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader still rocks though. And the Silver Chair.

It's "Allah (swt)" if you want to adopt the Muslim honorific. "PBUH" is used for prophets.
