Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and Liam Neeson's Idiotic Thought About Aslan and Mohammed

By Douglas V. Gibbs

As a child one of my favorite series of books was C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis himself wrote that Aslan the Lion in the books represented Jesus Christ. The fact that the allegorical character represented Christ was quite obvious considering his death and resurrection in the first book, and his triumphant return to destroy the great deceivers in "The Last Battle."

Liam Neeson, the actor who plays Aslan by voice in the movie version of Lewis' beloved series of books has decided that Aslan is also Buddha and Mohammed.

Hardly.

Mohammed was a barbarian that used violence to get his power, and deception through a made-up religion to conquer. Definitely not attributes one might see in Aslan.

C.S. Lewis would have been appalled by Neeson's comparison.
