    Second movie is much better about it, though they still refuse to use "jihad" as a term probably for burger reasons (it would send 80-90% of an american audience into a berserk state)

      To be fair they don’t refrain from calling it a religious war. Though using the term “holy war” instead of jihad is most definitely to dumb it down for Americans who don’t know “jihad” is not just a term for islamic terrorism

        For sure - the message is the same and the plot isn't harmed in any measurable way, just a kinda pointless/funny concession to the American audience

      I mean, they also changed the "Long live the fighters" from the books where it is "Ya Hya Chouhada!".
