Ghazi is today the statue of any soldier ( seperated from rank ) in Turkish Armed Forces who has survived a war or a large scale conflict,and has been injured ( or may not have been injured at all,provided he fought to distinguish himself to earn the rank ) , and survived it.

And its meaning TODAY is entirely seperate from the Ghazi word in Arabic world.

Razzias, Nazis, Amsterdam

I read somewhere that the raids or roundups commited by Nazis against Jews in Amsterdam during the Holocaust were called "razzias". I wonder if that word had anything to do with the Muslim battles of the same name. 192.12.88.7 (talk) 04:52, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Gazi Mustafa Kemal

"The title was also assigned to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, even though he was a secular politician." says the article, but he was an ottoman and then a turkish soldier before becoming 'a secular politician'. IIIIIIIII (talk) 02:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Mustafa Kemal has earned the title of Gazi after he got shot in Gallipoli campaign. Turkish forces using this as a title as a rank which is seperated from Gaza warriors of arabic Ghazi word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.214.126.230 (talk) 08:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Persistent misinformation in the lead

I suppose I could correct it myself, but that wouldn't address the long-term problem of Wikipedia contributors feeling perfectly alright writing things which they have no idea are actually true. One clue can be found on this page.[1] Also, I don't know why we're usingthis low-quality source at all, much less for Arabic philology.98.203.142.17 (talk) 05:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
