Have you published it? Do you take Said's critique of the West's Orientalism as a starting point for your review of the cultural expropriation of an Eastern figure for its own perverted projections?

Apart from my story The Casbah, I have another part completed story set in a Harem, including the intrigue and manouevering to decide who will be the heir, the heir's mother, and who will have to die...

...and then there's the twin brothers from the poor family complicating the situation. The one, sold into slavery by his father so the others could have food, ends up a eunuch guarding the Caliph's Seraglio. The other, identical in all save one feature, takes advantage of his brother's position, and throws all questions of paternity and rightful inheritance into confusion...

Don’t know if I ever told you, but you were the first person I “met” on Lit. You invited me into Molly’s thread and made me feel at home. I really appreciated that. You also prolly know more about the “doings” of our family than just about anybody else on Lit. That’s cuz you care and are appreciated for being you.--posthumous message from Safe_Bet.

Those latter were invented in Baghdad around 1200 CE, essentially to provide water for the 1.5 million inhabitants (as contrast, Paris was at about 100,000 at the time).

I'll be looking for Scheherazade Goes West, and I'll send you some xocolotl mexica anyway.
Now, do I get some eye candy, too?

It seems to me to be such a pity that, after centuries of development in the East, science (and medicine) came to a grinding halt for a thousand years or so, probably because of the Church (think Galileo for one example).

Gosh, this thread is a winner. I got lots of chocolate so far and some ... inspiring art work.
....
Sorry my attention wandered onto TXRad's ... uh, inspiring ... words ....
And we got some key scholarly contributions to the discussion on Islamic feminism, which is the main point of the whole thing.
(Blood oranges dipped in dark chocolate? Mmmmf! Sorry, must lie down. Must not drool into family dinner.)

I know, it's so unfair, isn't it. In the USA, her rights to carry a gun are enshrined in the constitution and I'm sure she would be generally applauded by all and sundry.

Mmm, thanks Tio. (Btw Scheherazade Goes West goes down a treat just like xocolatl, it's a beguiling read.) Here is a bit of Saidian eye candy for you, Gérôme's The Snake Charmer. I think there are a few snakes in AH she could charm.

Ooops, wait, I think that's a boy! Just like one of the lads and not even any tits. Sorry, Tio, I'll have to find another one for you.
Here's one for a friend who shall remain nameless  :

Barbara Eden is too pristine.
How about this genie?
Or Scherezade? About to do the dance of the seven veils:
