I'd like to confirm about whether those information's I got above are true or not, and basically I'd like to know whether the word "Islam" has ever been mentioned at all in TMnI, since I have this idea for an Index-fanfic where the Ottoman Caliphate still existing as one of the most prominent political giants in this alternative Index Universe. I'd like to have my fanfic's setting to be as convergent with canon as possible.

Quite frankly, I find the idea of introducing Islamic magicians contradictory. In modern day Islam, practicing magic and other forms of witchcraft is forbidden in the religion. Islam might be more into the science side, than magic side...
Perhaps, the author has some other plans for introducing the Islamic sect, they were briefly mentioned in volume 11 by Biaggio I think. He only mentioned that their numbers were steadily increasing, but there wasn't any mention whether they were magic users or not. The author could very well not mention Islam at all.
On NT: I really hope that in the future novels we get to see some interaction between Misaka Mikoto, Misaka 10032, Misaka WORST, and maybe LO. That would be quite a sight to see with Touma and Accel watching from the sidelines...
I agree though that Misaka WORST and Accel's interactions are the best.
P.S. Js06! Thank you! Those are some speedy accurate translations. You too, Teh Ping.
