Will Dune invoke the term "Jihad"?

I am an American who spent the first 16 years of life in Muslim countries, with a deep affection for my friends there, those cultures, and the beauty of that part of the world. I am also sensitive to the fact that this term invokes tension, conflict, and violence. I have a friend in Cairo, a young woman, who goes by "Gee" because her name is in fact Jihad - not an uncommon name - and she knows how that sounds to Westerners.Herbert invokes the phrase as a key part of Dune throughout the first book, using it in the traditional sense (it means "Struggle" and is described as the fact of holy life as one pursues virtue in life, though it has also been used broadly during conflict and war, for centuries, in all honesty. A Western equivalent might be 'crusade', with both commonish use and wartime use.)I'm very excited for the film, I personally thought D. V.'s treatment of Blade Runner 2049 was gorgeous (Sicario, Prisoners, Arrival, all good), and that personally touched me as such a fan. In fact I saw that on an Imax screen in Egypt with local friends.Anyhow - I don't mean to stir up any sort of controversy. It's just that I recently read the book in anticipation of the film, and was surprised that Herbert knew enough to invoke the term, but also I noticed that I'd never heard it understood in that reverent way in American discourse, since I spent my teen years (mid 2000s) trying to explain Muslim culture to US friends who were understandably in a place of difficulty to sympathize.When the book was written, the idea would have been widely unknown, sort of like using a Samurai term in another fictional work: a piece of exotica. Students of World War I might have understood the reference as the phrase was used in a combative nature during that conflict also (as Ottoman Turks were, steered by German spies, called upon to fight as if the international conflict were a holy struggle).My question is simply a film love/script dork/trivia one: do we think they'll use the term? Or will that element be stripped? They've kept the loose (outdated) 'orientialist' concept of the Arrakis locals as non-white, but they certainly doesn't seem to have case primary roles with Arabs. I'm curious. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3z5LMCb
