: mujahed, а множественное - mujaheddin (в спеллинге я смутно сомневаюсь, но Гугель подскажет). А термин - ровно этот. Душман, я полагаю, местное афганское название (или даже какой-то неологизм советских солдат)... ИМХО.

You could have "Fred, the freedom fighter" and "Mike, the mujahideen"!

Looks as though it ought to be "mujahid" in the singular, but I don't think I've ever seen it.

afghan guer(r)illa
Универсально, поймут все.
Моджахеды, они не только в Афгане были (и есть), "душман" - зависит от того, кто говорит. Революционерами их тоже не назовёшь, т.к. Тараки, Амин, а потом и Наджибулла были по-своему револьционерами.

Важен и нужен контекст!
