Oh yes, I should add: The Pevensies are described as “the kings and queens of old”, a metaphor for the old Christian monarchies of Europe, perhaps. 1300 years have passed since they were last in Narnia, synonomous with modern times (well, modern for CS Lewis at his time). Lewis wrote his books in the early 1900s...how long, at that time, had it been since the creation of Islam? About 1300 years...
Also, Miraz makes a reference to the Telmarene’s forefathers waging war on the Narnians in an attempt to wipe them out, and he wants to continue what his ancestors began. I instantly thought of Lepanto. The Muslims once struck at Europe to conquer it, but failed. Now they are trying to do it again.
In the movie, I kept thinking the Telmarine were responsible for the Spanish Inquisition, rather than Muslims...(then again, Spain was under Muslim rule for how long?)
