If it's about Salahuddin or other caliphs who live long after the first generation, most people won't be bothered.

Who is the MC? Gaijin or imouto?

>>123550770
Both? look at the covers

Strange that the imouto doesn't wearing hijab.

allahu akbar!!!!!!! allahu akbar!!!!!!!!!

>>123550923
Did she have to wear that in 1000 years ago?

The most you'd see is people arguing over Saladin's character and the portrayal of the culture, though one could get away with this by just claiming it isn't meant to be historically accurate per se.

I'm Shi'a myself, so personally speaking I kind of have an issue with Saladin in general because he helped overthrow the Fatimid dynasty, so the romanticization of him has never sat well with me.

I'm not OP, just in case you were wondering.

This is medieval Islamic world, yes? If you were a peasant or a nomad during that time,it wasn't too uncommon for women of such classes to sometimes even be half naked. If you were a noble woman or one the wife or daughter of a merchant, you were often held to stricter standards of modesty, while the attire of the pastoral or peasant crowds could be a bit more fluid either because they were too poor to afford clothes, had to work outdoors a lot or sometimes rarely ever interacted with men who weren't blood related. Courtesans didn't always wear strict attire either.

Did Saladin even had a imouto?

>>123551718
Yes, watch Kingdom of Heaven or read literature.

>>123551969
>Kingdom of Heaven
It's shit.

Wow. That's completely contrary to was I was led to believe.

Though it kind of make sense from a rich/poor standpoint.

According to google he had two sisters, but I can't find shit about them.

>>123549846
That is probably a good idea, as long as the story doesn't involve prophet muhammad in it. Remember charlie head shooting? yeah you do.

>>123549846

You, I've been thinking about that little "misconceptions about Islam" anime character thing from Deviantart or wherever it is, and I got to thinking - isn't representative drawing explicitly forbidden by the Koran as a form of making graven images?

>>123552152
auto correct shit, I meant "Charlie Hebdo* shooting"

Oh god, let's not go here. Shut this thread down.

To be fair, the hijab is obligatory according to Islamic law, but traditional Islamic societies were very stratified along lines of class and rank, a lot of time the peasants or nomads were seen as being of so base of character that they weren't really held to the standards of the upper classes. The Islamic world wasn't too different from the Christian world in that the peasants pretty much earned their way into heaven by serving their feudal lords and supporting the clergy, who were their intercessors with God. As long as they did that, they could sometimes get away with a lot of things that might be seen as contrary to divine law by the average Muslim today. Also, sometimes the religious values among peasants, the middle class and the nobility could be very different from one another with each being serviced by its own group of religious advisers.

It's really only been until recently that social conditions have allowed for a universal hijab to be more strongly enforced, partly because of rapid urbanization, centralization of power into the hands of the nation state, industrialization and the influence of socialist ideas of a classless society which had a huge impact on Islamist reformers. A country like Iran is more like a Soviet State than a medieval Islamic kingdom or a gunpowder empire.

Not really. The Koran itself doesn't forbid painting or even sculpture outright, that belief is mostly derived from certain extra traditions. I know some Muslims who don't believe you should have any portraits of living things, but most tend to feel it's only wrong to portray certain religious figures and even there one can easily find religious icons of actual saints and prophets.

>>123552173
It's not _explicitly_ forbidden. Therein lies the seed of thousand-years scholarly arguments.

It really sucks too that many people have this misconception that there's no diversity of opinion or that painting in Islamic cultures was strictly "secular". Academics ignore the religious symbolism and uses of paintings and there are Muslims who don't want to even acknowledge that part of history so there's a lot of people who are totally ignorant of the whole schools of painting in the Islamic world or on the popular use of icons and amulets.

>>123553136
Muhammed, BPUH, is best girl

>>123553136
Yeah. Between what's unanimously forbidden (graven idols used in worship) and what's unanimously allowed (2D images of non-living objects used for purely instructive purposes) there is plenty of room for interpretations.

There was even a cartoon made for children that was basically an animated adaptation of that movie The Message and that was actually approved and promoted by several Muslim organizations, so the diversity is still there. I think it's just that you have people who have personal axes to grind.

Most Muslims don't have a problem with cartoons in and of themselves and some of the biggest weebs I've met or talked to have been Arabs. Jojo got in trouble for having a bad guy reading a Koran because Arabs subbed the show themselves.

How about more anime about Jews?
