Ontario’s high school curriculum downplays jihad, ignores history of terror​

The official Ontario secondary school curriculum encourages educators to teach jihad as a “spiritual struggle,” omitting the global terrorism carried out in its name.​

The official Ontario secondary school curriculum encourages educators to teach jihad as a “spiritual struggle,” omitting the global terrorism carried out in its name, and instructs teachers to examine “misconceptions about jihad” and “media portrayals of jihad.”
The framing of jihad in the curriculum mirrors a recent federal report on Islamophobia. Amira Elghawaby, the special representative on combating Islamophobia, released a 60-page guide earlier this year defining jihad as a personal or metaphorical struggle and attributes Islamophobia to “Canada’s painful legacy of colonialism, racism, hate, and discrimination.”
Jihad has been used to justify violent campaigns worldwide. According to the Global Terrorism Database, 60,000 to 70,000 terrorist attacks were motivated by jihadist ideology worldwide over the last 20 years, one-third of the total number.

A "spiritual struggle". It appears to be a struggle against the desire to kill Jews. They always seem to be losing that "struggle".
