They all have a haunting atmosphere to them, like they were all pictures from after some sort of cataclysmic event.

I think that Nihei has slowly developed a phobia of dark colours and black ink over time.
He starts with the architecture he's not for in Blame and Biomega, like so.

Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.
Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!

Muslims, historically, have considered Jews and Christians to be fellow "People of the Book" - followers of the same god, generally good people, just in disagreement over certain theological things. Note also the "steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ" bit - Jesus is recognized as a prophet in Islam, under the name 'Isa (which is also used as a given name).
Muslim nations generally allowed Christians and Jews to live among them, in contrast to other religions which were entirely forbidden. It wasn't modern religious equality - there were extra taxes and marriage restrictions and all kinds of bullshit - but it was better than medieval Europe often was, where being the wrong [I]denomination[/I] of Christian could get you killed. And it was considered a holy obligation to protect other "people of the book" from the heathens. Thus, "Great Defender of Christians".
The "Confounder" was a bit of a humblebrag about how he'd [I]also[/I] completely crushed a bunch of Christian armies - there's an old sense of "confound" meaning "to devastate, to ruin".
oh ok. Maybe it's just because i've been neck deep in reading up on Wahabism recently, but with things like the Jizya tax and crazy uncle Mo's hate boner for the jews after the jewish tribe betrayed him, i guess i forgot that islamic states happily co-existed with christianity or judaism at one time.
Mehmed's wikipedia page doesn't say anything about his application of stuff like Jizya and i'm not up on my ottman history around that time so who knows, maybe he really meant it.

To an extent, it's about the medieval Islamic belief that they were the bastion of civilization, compared to the anarchy of post-Roman Europe and the general non-Judeo-Christo-Islamic-ness of everyone else. They viewed themselves as merciful and lawful and respectful, and so they took titles that reflected that.
It's like how modern American presidents style themselves "the Leader of the Free World". It's not [I]completely[/I] a lie but it sure says more about how we perceive ourselves than it does about what we actually are.

yeah, at the time that was true. The islamic world was the intellectual center of europe and the middle east, particularly Baghdad. But this was also after Al-Ghazali, which i suppose makes that america comparison all the better. The country that claims to be the bastion of freedom and yet be a surveillance state of unparalleled scale at the same time.
