I noticed in the first movie they cut out most of the Muslim imagery, as well as the Fremen guy who kamikazes a ship (iirc). Guessing there's more of the same in part 2?
Nope Americans are just so deeply misinformed they miss the obvious and think all the good guys and resistance fighters are them. Movie has plenty of Arab and Berber allusions.
Second movie is much better about it, though they still refuse to use "jihad" as a term probably for burger reasons (it would send 80-90% of an american audience into a berserk state)

To be fair they don’t refrain from calling it a religious war. Though using the term “holy war” instead of jihad is most definitely to dumb it down for Americans who don’t know “jihad” is not just a term for islamic terrorism
For sure - the message is the same and the plot isn't harmed in any measurable way, just a kinda pointless/funny concession to the American audience
I mean, they also changed the "Long live the fighters" from the books where it is "Ya Hya Chouhada!".
"Excuse me, but why are they called 'Fremen' then? Don't you get it? Fremen=>Free Men=>Land of the Free=>Americans! And you better believe I'm going to salute Da' Troops! [various barking/grunting noises]"
I'd like to see this guy doing the same thing at the title card about the rocky movie being dedicated to the Mujahideen.
I think they included as much as the average American can handle tbh https://youtu.be/QNuymYYj1Ko
