Islam is a good model for Malkionism, no doubt about that, and one I
have used as a source myself. On the other hand, at least some Malkioni
do place an importance on 'saints', and, while one must be careful not
to take the analogies too far, I personally find Christianity is also a
great source for inspiration. Its seems to me that, in our enthusiasm to
demonstrate that the Malkioni are not Christian (which they clearly
aren't), we mustn't go so far as to throw the baby out with the
bathwater. There are important sources there, IMO, and it would be a
great shame to see them deprecated.
