   Calormen has too many similarities to Middle-East to   
   be dismissed as merely hypothetical, IMO, so the only   
   questionabe assumption would be that equating Tash   
   with Aslan mirrors Lewis' views of suggesting that   
   Allah and Christian God were one and the same.   
   Knowing how hostile many Christians, pseudo and not,   
   are toward that idea, it seems at least plausable.
