"Oh? You did Jihad against some neighboring heathen raiders? That's cool, I guess. I did it across THE ATLANTIC OCEAN"

Explanation From Original OP:

Being Brazilian, I studied the 1835 Malê Revolt in middle school, and knew some rebels were deported from Brazil and it led to a crackdown on the Muslim community, which at the time was mostly slaves and some freedmen. What I did not know until reading A África e os Africanos na História e nos Mitos was that some of the defeated rebels referred to a the uprising as a jihad, nor that they and some of their descendants used it as a badge of pride.
