   The Similarities of Frithjof Schuon and

   Two stubborn opinionated cult leaders rooted in an Islamicate substrate though   
   not born into Islam? Check.   
      
   Both grew up in multilingual, multinational, middle class environments? Check.   
      
   Both attracted many disciples including noted intellectuals? False. Only   
   Schuon has done this. NWA is a nobody outside of puerile internet forums and   
   the Blogosphere soapbox he has erected for himself.    
      
   Both have a vision of the Divine Feminine in their personal religious   
   doctrines? Check -- Schuon sees her as Mary Mother of Christ and Azal   
   vacillates between Sayyidah Fatimah and a Baphomet-like Mediterranean   
   complexioned Angelina Jolie. Weird but okay.   
      
   Both refer to their spouses as "Mother"? False. This is something NWA has in   
   common with Mike Pence though.    
      
   Both have very bookish, insulated, and rigid opinions about the world,   
   especially the world they think they dislike? Check.   
      
   Maybe Nima is also the Return of Frithjof Schuon? Isn't he also initiated into   
   the erroneously named White Feather [sic] Navajo clan? A clan that my Navajo   
   friends tell me doesn't in fact exist ajd that whoever stated it does is   
   likely some cultural    
   appropriating LARPer. But, I digress.
