Muslim religious warriors.

Explanation:

The word "ghazi" was initially used for the Muslim individuals who participated in ghazw, a form of any expedition in the military or raids against non-Muslims. This word was then later used for those individuals who fought against any non believer of the Muslim faith. Often used as a title of honor, this word began to be used more frequently by the Ottoman Sultans for their men who heroically defend their religion. In modern days like today, it mostly signify anyone from the Muslim faith who fights / defends his religion against a non - Muslim.
