sea User ID: 1217065 Netherlands 03/04/2011 07:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I vote Chronicles of Riddick. Because the Chronicles or Narnia comes from islam lore. Aslan, the "Great Lion," is the central character in The Chronicles of Narnia, the King of Beasts. Aslan is Turkish for "lion" CS Lewis is Muslim I've been sitting on this idea for a little bit; when I work with Muslim kids I often explain to them that The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is not a Christian allegory, so much as it is a Muslim one, specifically a Shi'ah Muslim allegory. Let me walk you through my ill-thought thinking. First, we know Lewis was opposed to a live-action version of the Chronicles, calling the representation of Aslan “blasphemy,” strong words from a religious person. The presence of an anti-iconic can be felt in such a statement. Second, we know that the lion is named Aslan, from Persian for the word for “lion.” (Haroon, shame on you for not picking that up in your linguistic analysis.) Now, one of the other Persian words for “lion” is sher (pronounced like “share”), and one of the names for the first Shi'ah Imam, Ali ibn Abi Talib, is sher-e khuda, The Lion of God (asadullah in Arabic). Most Persian speaking places have large Shi'ah populations, and of course Iran is mostly Shi'ah. So this is our first clue that Lewis is writing a Shi'ah Muslim allegory.

That is some good shit right there. Narnia's books are truly children's books, no matter what analysis you put into them. Riddick is, well, Riddick and not truly "good" in any sense other than the time wasting dime-store type of read. The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, and I'm talking the whole series mind you (9 books, 10th one out soon), are some seriously great thought-provoking Fantasy.
