Mujahideen

rdfs:comment

The Mujahideen were Afghan tribesmen who opposed the 1979 Soviet takeover of Afghanistan during the 1980s. They were Muslims who were supported by the United States; they defeated the Soviets in the Soviet-Afghan War. They were in no way connected with the Taliban, who came later. The Mujahideen (formerly known as Scoia'tael) were Islamically minded warriors who resisted the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Soviet invasion otherwise known as "Operation Protracted failure" is largely remembered as the point when the cold war finally froze. Whether it's firing a rocket launcher at a military convoy, fleeing into the hills or merely serving as precursors to the Taliban we know and love, the Mujahideen tried to make the best of everything. Mujahideen (Arabic: المجاهدين literally meaning someone who is involved in Jihad) are a guerilla-combat style military force. Formed during the Cold War-era Afghan-Soviet war, they were initially several loosely-related Afghan rebel groups. The Mujahideen (Arabic: المجاهدين‎) is the plural form of mujahid (Arabic: مجاهد‎), the term for one engaged in Jihad. In English usage, it mostly referred to the guerrilla type military outfits led by the Muslim Afghan warriors in the Soviet war in Afganistan, but now it often refers to other jihadist outfits in various countries. Mujahideen is a term for Muslims fighting in a war or involved in any other struggle. The best-known mujahideen were the various loosely-aligned Afghani opposition groups that fought against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan during the 1980s. These fighters were known as dukhi ("ghosts") to the Soviets. (In Arabic, Mujahideen means مجاهد‎ muǧāhid, nominative plural مجاهدون muǧāhidūn, oblique plural مجاهدين muǧāhidīn "strugglers" or "people doing jihad") are Muslims who struggle in the path of Allah. The word is from the same Arabic root as jihad ("struggle"). Mujahideen is also translated as mujahedin, mujahedeen, mudžahedin, mudžahidin, mujahidīn, mujaheddīn, mujahed and many more.
