Examples of mujahideen in a Sentence

  1. Nikita Malik:

Or are they going to say, 'We really don't approve. We prefer our women at home, under the veil, cooking, cleaning and giving birth to little mujahideen'? it was done more of a defense mechanism rather than as an act of violence. Islamic State has said in its propaganda many times women are to remain in the home and really their participation in jihad is more nurturing role as a mother and a wife.
