The second is only broadly similar to C S Lewises "The Screwtape Letters". I don't think the Ottomans corrupted Islam all that much - the boys in the real Turkish baths tended to be - how does one put this discreetly? - pretty and available?

He was not a Christian, but a devotee of Sol Invictus, the sun god and baptized on his deatbed against his wishes. There were up to 80 gospels and several Old Testament Books omitted, including the marriage of Joshua ben Joseph, aka Jesus Christ, to Mary Magdalen. His aim was to control the populace and it has succeeded admirably. The writers of the Gospels that were found acceptable drew heavily on the religion of Egypt and Mithraism among others. Joshua ben Joseph was a historical figure and a wise man, but his teachings, as with all wise men, were corrupted immediately following his execution. We have the Greeks and Islam to thank for the seeds of our so-called enlightenment. The "primitives", understanding their place in nature, are more enlightened than the most revered sages of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition.

In "The Mysterious Stranger" he describes god as ""a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell — mouths mercy and invented hell — mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man’s acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself".
