I just watched Dune 2 and now I'm fascinated by Arabs whose culture and history of course provided the inspiration for the book. Are Arabs as cool as the Fremen?
And yes I know this is soy-fi whatever

Fremen are everything south of the equator (not in America) combined. Part sea, African, Mena, indian, North African and southern eurasia.
It's based on Arabs and uses a lot of Arabic
It also uses a lot of israeli terms, such as Kwisatz Haderach.
The fremen don't use it. It's the Bene Gesserit that uses that term
>secret cult controlling the universe gets the israeli terms
Lmao
I thought they were supposed to be Turks/Afghans/Chechens
Dune is space Lawrence of Arabia.
it was based on bedouins or tuaregs I think
i assumed arab since they use islamic terms (mahdi, holy war is legit just jihad in the books) and even arabic itself (lisan al gaib)
There's a bunch of everything. Paul is the other half. Leto is the combination. Every memory mankind can pass down he got. He can call on their minds as well. Dune is way in the future and the fremen were the free man who fled slavery from other planets practicing a mixture of Buddhism, Islam, Shinto and tao shit
>Are Arabs as cool as the Fremen?
No.
Bedouins are Arabs. In fact, most Arabs consider Bedouins to be the "truest, purest Arabs" (even if they look down on them).
Why are they considered the purest? Dont they originate from the heart of arabia/gulf
>Why are they considered the purest? Dont they originate from the heart of arabia/gulf
>why are the arabs from the heart of arabia the purest
I want you to sit down and think about that question.
Oh my mind read “berber” instead of bedouin lol. Actually i have never heard of bedouins, interesting

>as cool as the Fremen?
oh man you got played
>aycksually paul is not a good guy
yeah yeah
because 90% of sci-fi/fantasy writing is slop. i'm sure villaneuve had to do a lot of heavy lifting
thats literaly the authors point thoughbeit, he explicitly says it
yeah i know ,still cool though
damn reality always disappoints. how is that shit not haram?
In reality they drink piss and they frick goats
They are not cool
no
yes, every Arab is exactly like your faux capeshit with Timothee Charmless and Disney Channel Mutt of the Month #894
Javier Bardem was good at least
Absolutely not kek. Arabs are terrible fighters and effete in real life. The Fremen are based off of Caucasians fighting the Russians that Frank Herbert read about in Sabers of Paradise. He copy pasted quotes from that book into the first 3 or 4 Dune novels
Arabs are only terrible fighters because they got fat and lazy after taking over the middle east.
So dune in the universe or arrakis needed alot of slaves to mine spice for long times especially after the butlerian jihad ended and mentats and navigators and highleigners weren't widespread. Trillions of people over 10000 years were sent there as slaves and anyone trying to flee a bad house or planet might go for arrakis because of the spice and to escape. It's a 130-140 f hell planet. Without the suits they'd die fast in the open desert. Maybe 5 minutes.
Anyways so the desert was the culling mechanism and only the strongest of the low born half of humanity survived and bred. Chani. Paul represented the upper half.
>least obvious muzzie thread
atleast takkiya properly next time
you're not fooling any one
I’m a Chinese christian
I am sure you're indeed
Yes
But modern arabs are boring. They all want to drive Lamborghinis
