Is it possible to be a 'pacifist mujaahideen'? If no, then why?
Hi, recently I got myself into a discussion with my own mind, which made me interested in the topic of this post — Can mujahideen be a pacifist?
Technically, term 'mujahid' means 'fighter', but as history shows, not every fight is brutal and involves in acts of violence. We had for example Salt March in India, which was one of the pacifist campaigns of Gandhi and his supporters. Generally Gandhi made a concept of 'peaceful revolution' an actual thing. This is why I got curious, whether mujaahideen can be a pacifist.
Can a mujahideen rather do things like organising protests, refusing to pay taxes, publishing books or posters with state-banned content, refusing to collaborate with the government and promote acts of insubordination than things like bearing arms and commiting terrorist attacks (like f. e. People's Mujahideens of Iran or Al-Qa'ida)?
