What do I know of it? ... It wasn't my idea! :P
Valarian:
The "Sword of Allah" has the advantage of being a title actually used in history. It's a title that was supposed to have been given to one of the Companions by Muhammad himself (I don't know whether there was an actual sword involved though).
Isenhertz:
Maybe Zulfiqar is still up and about? That would fill the "Sword of Islam" slot pretty nicely. ;)
For Shinto, there's no way around the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi/Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the sword of Susano-o himself. Possibly the Seven-Branched Sword?
Papa Gruff:
Hey thank you Isenhertz (and welcome to the forums)! Even more potential Items of Power!
Man ... there must be a buttload of demonic evil in the world to merit all this powerfull holy weaponry... ;D
exploding_brain:
I've always felt that champions of Buddhism/Eastern Martial Artists should have a slightly different set of powers, based around a high Discipline score, rather than a high Conviction score. Just a feeling about the flavor of that sort of archetype, and the portrayal of that tradition in fiction. YMMV.
