A fascinating in-depth analysis of the Muslim-ness of Dune

that is a dense, heady read.

it took part of my morning and a flight home from LA to get maybe halfway through it, but i’m heartened to read that the criticisms leveled against the books are too quick and not as informed. it’s SUPER interesting to get a Muslim perspective on them. i always had the perception that the Fremen and their societies and religion were the real heroes, being in tune with the desert and its ecology as they were, so that’s nice to have some affirmation there.
