Hello Chris , thank you for taking the time to read my comment.

I am not sure how to make you see the similarities between The Krasia Tribes ,and the way many yellow papers would like you to see Muslims.

I'll just point out a few points that are very hard to miss.

The names, for example: "Ahmann leader of Krasia : Ahmadd".

The customs , the places they lived in , the veils women wear, the Harem.

All that is what someone from western society grew up to imagine a muslim arabic community to be.

I don't expect you to understand, nor do i have the desire to go into a "who's to blame" discussion for the way some people view us.

I just want to say how much dissapointed i am in the auther, alot of potential in the first book , i expected more from the second one.

I think you are right that he's comparing it to muslims, or Asians of whichever country, but I disagree that he means to compare them to modern Muslims. I interpreted the book to be set in the future, in a time when all current technology is lost because of the return of lost magic, (for example, they mention "'lectric" and "Mente" which seem to me to be electric and cemente. so my point is, I think Brett was just comparing Krasia to very Ancient Asia, not modern Asia.

Hmmm ... something that I did not notice when I read the book. I am a muslim and i dont feel that Brett really potrays the Krasians as muslims.

Arab/middle eastern people maybe .. but muslim hmmm nope.

Anyway its a fantasy book. Reigion and fiction that really mix very well. :D

I'm a Muslim too and I disagree with you Salma, Anyway the book was good and I'm looking forward to the third
