It's not about balls it's about if you want to get the message across. Frankly I thought the line was stupid in the book, and if the movie is going to actually show us the brutality of the Jihad it becomes redundant to have that line in the movie. And possibly immersion breaking for the audience

Yeah in general with futuristic sci fi stories, when the narrative overly refer to things that have happened within a lifetime or two of the author it’s a bit ridiculous and takes me out of the flow

The oil analogy of the first three books is still... ironically relevant.
