There’s a lot if islamic subtext in the “Dune” nooks. Not subtle at all.

True, however it should be remembered that Islam was viewed very differently in the West when the Dune nooks were written. Kind of a cute religion or primitive peoples. No kind of a threat. Their religion has also incorporated Buddhist and other elements.
