You are absolutely correct in what you said

[uawchild]

You are absolutely right, the historical use of the term is much older as you say.

"The modern term of mujahideen referring to guerrilla outfits radical Islamists originates in the 19th century opposition of the mountainous sect of hill men in Afghanistan who fought against British control (although initially to the British they were known as Sitana Fanatics)"

I was using it in the modern sense where it describes armed jihadist guerilla groups in general.

Sorry for my misunderstanding. You are right, Al Queda was only part of the mujahideen even using my version of the definition. That was sloppy of me. I mistook the point you were actually making. Again, sorry.
