GHAZI (Arabic "warrior") . A Mohammedan who has vowed to exterminate unbelievers by the sword. It is also used by the Turks as a title of honour, generally translated "the Victorious," for military officers of high rank, who have distinguished them selves in the field against non-Muslim enemies ; thus it was assumed by Mustafa Kemal Pasha, President of the Turkish Republic.
