I open up my textbook to read chapter one and what do I find? Is this the great replacement theory within the first 10 pages? Sure looks like it!

Also bonus advocating for countering "radical islamist groups" by "military and ideological means"

I haven't gotten a good feel for this prof but we are not off to a good start

Edit: Looks like I pirated the wrong text or something, I found the one my prof wants us to use and it's very different. Not sure why the two editions are so dramatically different but I'm still keeping an eye out for any fash shit

May it be possible that you have found an older version of your prof's text, that they had to change later because of this?

Weirdly enough it looks like it's the more recent version from 2021 when the recommended one is from 2015

2021 one made after 2018 march of return? Or what other event could've prompted the revisionism?

I am almost certain this isn't revisionism by the author, rather OP found a hijacked text.

I can't find any evidence of a 2021 edition of "In God's Path" being published. The book was originally published in 2015, and there doesn't appear to be any subsequent editions. Which means that what you found is almost certainly a hijacked textbook. Some fascist piece of shit is passing off their own fascist rhetoric as academic text. Since it looks like your prof is in the clear for not actually teaching a course on Islamic history with disgustingly Islamophobic text, I would encourage you to tell them about this. It's fairly likely that you're not the only student who downloaded this load of chauvinist lies thinking it is the real text they're meant to study, but other students might not be so aware of how blatantly false (and fascist) it is. If your instructor is actually cool, then this could end up being a good opportunity for a teaching moment even.

You might also want to report this to wherever you downloaded it from. Even if found on the high seas, there's usually a mechanism for reporting a download that isn't what it's claimed to be.
