I was surprised at the lack of critical content around the obvious Muslim / Arabic origins of the Fremen in Dune They're both in the movies and the books, but whereas the latter makes no excuse for using terms like hajj and jihad, the movies are oddly sterilised https://inkstickmedia.com/erasing-arabs-from-dune/

Herbert spent something like 7 years world building before he even started writing Dune. If you extend humanity forward by 10k years, you may end up with some essence of religion, but something that still looks different to today. Plus it’s a new planet, far out in the galaxy. Telephone gave for religion over many many generations and space. Plausible…

I didn’t watched the movie or read the book but now I’m curious to understand better. But honestly I’m not surprised at all if this sterilization is not driven by an important storyline reason.

in the west there is a rich history of shadowing / discounting the contributions of arabs to humanity in numerous disciplines and hollywood surely is among the best at doing it
