Talk:Tash

Crusaders, Turks, Islam.
It is rumored that Lewis modeled the Narnians on Crusaders, the Calormen on Turks and their religion on Islam. Is this a topic that you wish to avoid in this article?
 * Their religion is nothing like Islam. Muslims do not sacrifice humans to a demonic "god" (Tash actually reminds me of some Hindu gods), although they do say "Peace be on him" versus "May he live forever". He did model the Calormenes on Middle-eastern people, to make them more forign. If they had lived in the far north, they would have been white, but because they lived in the deep south, where it was hot, they had darker skin. They are decended from outlaws of Archenland, and thus not racially much different from the people of the north. In other words, I highly doubt Lewis being racist (He did admire many things about islam and its people). The Narnians are CERTAINLY not anything like the Crusaders, if you've ever studied them. But these articles are more like something you would find in an encyclopedia in Narnia, not on earth, so we try not to mention Lewis too much in such articles.

Christian Relevance
I don't know how we should be addressing this. It is not in-universe, so I put the section under a Trivia heading. This article still needs lots of work. Halian the Shipbuilder 09:27, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
