ghazi

My dusty old unabridged Webster's dictionary (1913) has probably thousands, certainly hundreds, of words not found in modern dictionaries.  One of them is ghazi, which they define forthrightly (and incorrectly, politically) as:

Among Moslems, a warrior champion or veteran, esp. in the destruction of infidels; a fanatical slayer of infidels.
