New York City teachers were told that “jihad” means simply “struggle” — not holy war — in training sessions against “anti-Muslim bias” run by the Department of Education.
Educators were even given the example that it could simply mean “my jihad to get fit” in a video seen by The Post, ignoring its history of being used to justify violence, including terrorism by groups such as Hamas, al Qaeda and ISIS.
A trainer from the DOE also told teachers that Sharia simply means religious observance and did not mention brutal punishment and persecution of women and minorities by Sharia regimes including the Taliban in Afghanistan. https://nypost.com/2024/02...
