B. Summary of Evidence:
According to Nojumi:
After 1979, Afghan Mujahedeen fixed nearly 4,000 Deeni Madrassas or schools that teach exclusively Islam.
During the years of Soviet Invasion in Afghanistan the concepts of jihad and shahadah became extensively dominant in Deeni Madrassas.
According to Hartman:
The Reagan Doctrine was implemented in 1985.
Reagan emphasized assistance to the “Afghan freedom fighters” and inspired “those who love freedom” for “self defence” purposes.

Furthermore within these schools, the concepts of jihad and shahadah became extensively dominant.
