The Demand to Remove Jihad from the School Curriculum

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We see many media figures and writers demanding that jihad not be taught and that it be removed from the curriculum. What is your opinion on this? Do we obey them when they mention this?

Answer:
This is a false statement, and they say more than this. They say, “Also manipulate the Qur'an, and cut out the verses that prohibit the loyalty of disbelievers, and cut out the mention of the Jews and Christians, the declaration of the Jews and Christians as disbelievers, and their cursing.” We do not obey them in this.
O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will [then] become losers.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُوا
[Ali 'Imran 3:149]
killing them.
O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن تُطِيعُوا فَرِيقًا مِّنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ يَرُدُّوكُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ كَافِرِينَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:100]
I am a Muslim. We are Muslims, and they are sinners. So if one of the Muslims says, “Remove this thing,” if he thinks that this is not correct, he is a disbeliever who has elevated himself above the religion of Islam. Yes.
