Mujahideen

Mujahideen ({{lang-ar|مجاهدين}}, also transliterated as mujāhidīn, mujahedeen, mujahedin, mujahidin, mujaheddin, etc.) is a plural form of mujahid ({{lang|ar|مجاهد}}), which literally means "struggler", someone who engages in jihad, or "struggle", but is often translated as "holy warrior". In the late twentieth century, the term "mujahideen" became popular in the media to describe various armed fighters who subscribe to Islamist ideologies, although there is not always an explicit "holy" or "warrior" meaning within the word.

Mujahideen in Iraq

The newly formed Mujahideen in Iraq consist of both Shia,Sunni Muslims who oppose the Coalition presence in Iraq. Their goal is to form Islam as its only law and set up an Islamic state by opposing and fighting a mixed source of law. Islam forbids any Muslim to rule according to any law besides what Allah has ordained. It is for this simple reason violence is on the rise all across Iraq.
