This is sublime. The second book in this series draws the reader into the distinctions between the Bene Gesserit and Fremen worldviews: two worldviews that appear to be irreconcilable, or at the minimum, disparate.

"There are many degrees of sight and many degrees of blindness," p154. So true!

Wow, if the reader had not yet picked up on the fact that this series is based upon the Quran, Hadith, and Sunna, then it became obvious when Alia referred to Al Kuds. Then she exclaimed to the Ghola, "The Holy City." So now Frank Herbert is using Arabic directly. Ug. His writing and insight are superb but, still, he's rewriting the story of Islam ... almost like another revelation from Gabriel.
