Isn't it blantently obvious that the Qunari are Mooslims?...which means that elves are a closest local equivalent of mislims

The fucking map of Thedas is just Europe upside down. Like 90% of fantasy maps are some form of Europe.
The analogy isn't even remotely subtle. Most nations have corresponding accents, as if it couldn't be any more on-the-nose. The Elves are meant to be some generic "oppressed" noble savage type group, as per Hollywood fetish for cannibals, headhunters, slave raiders, etc (at least they were meant to have once been worse imperialists than humans, so not quite the usual uncritical bs). Since Europe doesn't have any usual favorites like Native Americans, they went with Celts, giving them Welsh and Irish traveller asethetics. The Qun launch holy wars and convert people against their will, although they got toned down.
