    I always saw the Batarians as the stand in for muslims. The entire mission is about trying to stop them from suicide bombing the station. The slaver and slave raid theme has pretty serious barbary corsairs vibes to me as well.

    Terrorist was pretty much synonymous with muslim back in 07. They even refer to it as a crusade (I guess Jihad would have been too on the nose).
