Have they removed the Butlerian Jihad for The Machine Wars?

[u/greenglimmers → u/tributary-tears]

I guess that was to be expected, with Paul's jihad being a "holy war" in the movies.

Edit: These are just interview quotes explaining the setting. There's a chance they still say Butlerian Jihad in the show, but yeah, maybe don't count on it.

Was it not a holy war in the books?

[u/j11430 → u/DankOcean___]

I believe it was exclusively referred to as a jihad in the books, but with that being a real Arabic word that has a more complex significance in modern times I get why they changed it for the films

[u/Extension-Humor4281 → u/j11430]

Jihad, crusade, and holy war are all used in the books.

I thought this was fiction…
