 Fremen are a direct parallel to... -- DUNE Novels Discussion Board
I believe that the Fremen are a direct parallel to the bedouin desert tribes of Arabia and the Middle East which were portrayed in the classic film, Lawrence of Arabia.
In both the faiths of the Fremen and the Muslim Extremists of the present day Middle East, their faiths say it is okay to kill someone who is not of that faith if they do not convert.
Personally, I find the Fremen way of life, not clean, or pure, or cool because of their warrior-like ways, but a bit close minded, myopic, traditional, stuck in ancient ritual and customs that perpetuate a barbarity and cruel violence.

Little is known of Paul's activities during the two years he spent among Fremen in the Great Desert.3 However, in 10193 he emerged from the desert as Usul, at once the leader and symbol of the Arrakis Revolt.
He commanded both Fremen and what was left of the Atreides family forces in one of history's few truly masterful military campaigns.
The combination of his personal magnetism, capacity for leadership, vision of a green Arrakis, and reputed prescience turned Paul into an object of veneration, a virtual deity.4 It was in his name that the Second Jihad (10196-10208) was carried across the heavens and the ultimately unsuccessful transformation of Arrakis from desert into oasis was begun.

 Our Children Are The Guarantors: “…With Thousands of Fremen Warriors”
The Fremen are driven by their own mystical religion, planted by the Bene Gesserit, the monastic order to which Jessica Atreides belongs.

Westerners sympathize with their “Fremen” because of their current void; were the void to be filled with a reclaiming of Western tradition, the leakage would be stopped, and we might have a chance at stemming the tide.
