__NOINDEX__ See User:Geo Swan/Stale drafts School for jihad or school for the jihad is a term used by scholars and intelligence analysts who study islamic militancy.

According to Tom Lasseter, in the McClatchy News Service's profile of repatriated Guantananmo captives, poorly thought out camp policies had turned the Guantanamo Bay detention camp into a "school for jihad".

In his 2005 book "The jihad factory: Pakistan's Islamic revolution in the making" Shusant Sareen described the success of fighters in Afghanistan ousting the Soviets during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan as a "school for jihad" for islamic militants from other nations.

In his 2004 book "Jihad in paradise: Islam and politics in Southeast Asia" Mike Millard suggested Bakar Bashir, the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah ran a school for jihad in Java, were he used psychologically manipulative techniques to transfer trainees reverence to God to a reverences to him personally.

The allegations used to justify the continued detention of Yemeni captive in Guantanamo Abdul Al Saleh asserted that he traveled from the Taliban's office in Quetta, Pakistan, to the school for the jihad in Kandahar, and upon arrival announced his willingness to fight the jihad, and was dispatched early, after just three days of training, with fifty other fighters, to reinforce the Taliban, against the Northern Alliance, in Northern Afghanistan.

The allegations used to justify the continued detention of Saudi captive in Guantanamo Abdul Rahman Ma Ath Thafir al-Amri asserted that he ''“... met with an Afghani Taliban leader who sent the detainee to a Jihad school in Kandahar, where the detainee was interrogated to ensure that he was not a spy.”''
