I was thinking it was because of reactionaries who would freak out about the "good guy" leading a "jihad".

I mean they never read the book too, where it's pretty obvious that the Paul's jihad is something horrific he wanted to avoid, and the next books when it's obvious that Paul was not even a good guy (and he did not even seen himself as one!)

Right, these are people who do not read books

Like how he straight up said he was worse (in terms of people his genocide has killed) thank Hitler and Ghengis Khan....

Yes, a solid point too. Paul saw this jihad washing over the whole of the galaxy and he really really really didn't want it, but didn't know how to do the one without the other. English teachers must have an absolute blast with this one. Heh, like Jesus seeing the crusades and going... wait.... shit.
