# Heh
Speaking of that part of the world, i've just received this scientific journal:

My Persian is a little rusty, but doesn't Jihad translate as holy war or something? This is a scientific publication about fish
Most confussed

# as an islamic term it means 'struggle'
distinct from holy war as the popular media prefer...

although fucked if i know why it is on a fish journal.

# Here's the English version of the ministy's site...

Farsi doesn't translate perfectly into English so you get lots of variation- Jihad/Jahad/Jehad are all used (like Moslem/Muslim or Safawid/Safavid)

# Ah cool
Just seemed a bit curious to be honest, how they could incorporate a notion of 'struggle' into a scientific publication, about fish

Oh well, I shall wander off and ponder this with some lunch!

# It is a bit strange
I suppose it's part of the theocratic system giving organisations/government bodies a religious twist?

Like the word 'minister' itself originally meaning a christian authority...

# some of their female fish swim naked in the sea!
it is an outrage!

# Maybe it means something else in Farsi.
Either that or it's a message to extremist marine biologists

# Strapping tiny sticks of dynamite on to crayfish?
I'd pay to see that.

# The Iranian ministry of Agriculture merged with the "Jihad-e Sazandegi" (or the "Research Center of the Construction Crusade ")
which was basically an engineering research body which focussed on "engineering research for defense, natural resources, animal husbandry, fisheries, and utilization and processing of products." like the US Army Corps of Engineers.

The word jihad itself roughly means struggle/effort/contest, and common usage of the word is a bit wonky...


Um...
