There have been a lot of interesting posts recently but I do not think I have read many that have been very accurate at all. Halo isn't pro-Muslim. I'm not even going to claim that I *know* it's pro-Christian, because I don't know. I just think it is. But I am 100% convinced that it is not an allegory defending Islam. I quote Bungie again when they said "At it's heart Halo is a Biblical allegory". They said Biblical. They would have said it was based on the Qur'an if they were writing a story promoting Islam. By this I do not even mean that it is necessarily fundamentally Anti-Islam. Just not pro. Halo is actually a compilation of many different religions and sects put into the game throughout Human history.
Yes, the Bible plays a main part in the main story. Of course some people from the Bible like the Baptist John are also in the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, the Arabic version of John is Yahya, just as Jesus (which technically means "Son of Zeus" doesn't it?) is Isa in Arabic.
I would say if ANYTHING the Covenant represents the Catholic Church. Think about it, the Pope during the Crusades lied to the Crusaders saying their sins for the atrocious acts they will commit in the crusades will be absolved and completely forgiven.
Of course, that was all a bunch of BULL-blam-...
Halo's story takes inspiration from all walks of life and religion, not just Christianity.
Remember, the Christians, Jews and Muslims are all "People of the Book".
The two examples you gave surprise me, however they also strike me as likely inaccurate. Could you please provide reference to your primary sources for this information (especially regarding the Pope and the Crusades)?
i think,this is just a guess,that the covedent is like the persians mixed with cathlic and islamic beliefs.
and the humans christianity/bastis mixed with the science belief
evolution and the humans had a war over it,then agreeing
to make peace.the,when they least espacted it,the covedent,
feeling threaten,the covedent rage a war with the humans.
i wrote it like this because i,m a christian and i don't
beleaven evelution.
