I think Rolfe in Clarel is supposed to be Melville, who is a Protestant in the book, but majority of the book is ripping on Protestantism for embracing Jews and schience and selling out Christianity in the name of progressivism.

Depends on how you interpret Ungar and Mortmain's characters. The book is very favorable of Islam and is concerned about it getting corrupted by western influence.

>Based is a slang term that originally meant to be addicted to crack cocaine (or acting like you were), but was reclaimed by rapper Lil B for being yourself and not caring what others think of you—to carry yourself with swagger.

Based means "based [in reality]" retard. "Based" as slang in regard to crack is from Grandmaster Flash. Usage on this board relates to the former and usage of the later relates to your mother...while she was pregnant...which is probably why you're retarded.
