The Qun is meant to be the Islam analogue, in a rough way.
That's fine, but it's not even close. As I said, the mindset of assimilation is very close to how Islamic regimes operated in the Middle Ages, but the idea of "everyone to their role" is closer to Stalinist communism.
And the Martin Luther analogue uses explosives instead of nailing beliefs to the door, and doesn't start a war of just the spirit. I understand what you're saying, but I don't know how that changes anything. The Europe analogue is upside-down (hotter being north). The Inquisition isn't the Inquisition. The Church started in France by a woman who freed slaves from the Ancient Roman analogue. Most of this isn't perfect, and isn't supposed to be.
I don't know what any of this has to do with the price of tea in Navarra.

It may be. A lot of Dragon Age is a pastiche (hah!) of European history thrown through Fantasy's blender and topped with a dollop of modernistic sensibilities.
