Does Kamen Rider Gaim Contain Meta-Commentary on Radical Islam? WHEN I SAY RADICAL ISLAM, JUST MEAN WHEN ISLAM IS USED TO JUSTIFY CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. MOST MUSLIMS ARE AGAINST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

Spoiler Warning: This blog contains spoilers for the TV show, "Kamen Rider Gaim."  Scroll down for the rest of the blog.


























Disclaimer, the following statements do not reflect my views on Islam, just Radical Islam.  WHEN I SAY RADICAL ISLAM, JUST MEAN WHEN ISLAM IS USED TO JUSTIFY CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.  MOST MUSLIMS ARE AGAINST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.  For example, if I were talking about —a picture of a box— that was drawn by someone else, and I said, 'the box is the world.'  It wouldn't necessarily mean that I think that the box represents or is the world, it would mean that I think that according to —the artist who drew the picture,— the box possibly represents the world.

In short, I'm only saying what I think the artist might think.

So here's my theory in short, I think that the invasive fruit is a metaphor for Radical Islam because it turns you into a monster (side note: the monsters are called Inves,) the Inves are a metaphor for Radical Muslims because they (the Inves) are violent, —the dimension that the fruit comes from— is a metaphor for the Middle East because (at least according to —the creator of Kamen Rider Gaim—,) Radical Islam ruined the Middle East by turning it into —a wasteland, that used to be a prosperous civilization.—

Also some people think that Radical Islamic ideologies are slowly creeping their way into being accepted by Western civilizations, and —the plants moving their way from Helheim (the alternate dimension where the aforementioned fruit comes from)— could be a metaphor for the aformentioned spread of Radical Islamic ideologies in Western civilizations.

Also this might be a stretch, but the Inves can be controlled to do anything even attack people and each other using the lock seeds, and the lock seeds are made by modifying the fruit, and since the fruit is Islam and the Inves are Radical Muslims, it could stand to reason that —the lock seeds' production— is a metaphor for —the arbitrary interpretations of Radical Islam by so called Islamic scholars,— —the idea of controlling the Inves— could be a metaphor for Islam being hijacked and turned into —the hate group, Radical Islam— by —the aforementioned Radical Islamic scholars.—   Again, I'm not saying whether or not I think this is happening, I'm just theorizing on whether or not Kamen Raider Gaim's creator thinks this is happening.

Again, NONE OF THIS IS NECESSARILY WHAT I THINK KAMEN RIDER GAIM'S CREATOR THINKS; IT IS A THEORY FOR THE READER TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY BELIEVE IT.
