In Hyperion one of the main characters is Muslim, but I recall a brief discussion in Ilium or Olympos about how the global caliphate or what have you was responsible for destroying pretty much everything.

It wasn't even particularly interesting Islamophobia.


It was jarring how it just came out of nowhere in that book. But then again, after Endymion, I perhaps should have expected it in the sense that religious structures seem to be something he distrusts and almost despises.

Nothing excuses that shitheap of a WoT encyclopedia. - 20/05/2017 08:00:24 PM 914 Views
I get that your "thing" is being a one-man hatedom for WoT, but... It's an encyclopedia... - 21/05/2017 08:38:30 AM 872 Views
No, I have a lot better things to do that can be my thing - 21/05/2017 05:17:50 PM 906 Views
Exactly. That isn't just "don't like" that is a "hate-boner". - 21/05/2017 11:48:15 PM 873 Views

I've said on many occasions I found Books 1-6 entertaining - 21/05/2017 05:17:11 PM 944 Views
The first book is on you but if you read the other 7 that is on you. - 22/05/2017 05:43:52 PM 873 Views
Keep it that way. The Endymion books nearly ruined the entire series for me. Terrible. *NM* - 23/05/2017 03:46:14 AM 467 Views
Same goes for Ilium/Olympos - 25/05/2017 03:31:16 AM 832 Views
Was it ILIUM or OLYMPOS where the absurd Islamophobia really got into full swing? - 25/05/2017 06:49:17 AM 961 Views
