comply with her ideological views. Hence the Arab states such as Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan and Egypt have reviewed their curriculums under
the pretext of development and compliance with the age. Saudi Arabia
even went as far as changing one of the most important religious
subjects in its school books, the subject of allegiance and
dissociation (al-walaa’ and al-baraa’). Similarly Jordan, Egypt and
Kuwait have changed subjects related to jihad.
