Why the terms "militias" and "proxies" are plain wrong to describe the resistance fighters and groups like Hezbollah, Ansarullah, Hamas/PIJ and other resistance groups:

The word "militia", has no origins in Arabic, Farsi or any of the languages from the West Asian region, it is a completely foreign word

One of the definitions for the term "militia", means armed civilians, but other definitions also means armed groups that commit terrorism and rebel acts. It is a foreign word, comes from the colonizers, used to describe our resistance to belittle their role, call them unprofessional when they follow Islamic guidelines

It is their word and they play around the definitions how they please. We do not need their own vocabulary to define who we are, otherwise we still possess colonized mindset where it's them who decide the reality for us and give us the labels. So why would you use a wishy washy foreign term when we as Muslims have been taught by the holy Quran on this matter? In Islam it is very clear, those who fight for the sake of Allah are mujahideen, those who get killed for the sake of Allah are martyrs. Any other label used, simply goes against what Islam tells us

Some may say it is a neutral word and they are armed civilians, which makes the definition true and logical. With that argument, here is an important thing to remember. Why do we call those who are killed in the field "shuhada'"? Which means martyrs? By definition, they are also dead, killed, but why we call them martyrs? It's because the word martyr describes the highest status of death, in a noble way. Logically speaking, yes they are killed and dead, but we don't use that term but call them martyrs because we appreciate their effort, out of respect and it is also what Allah describes them, those who die for the sake of Allah, die defending, get killed defending, they are martyrs

So with that in mind, whether they are alive or "killed", we give them the same amount of respect, that is why we refer to them as mujahideen or fighters, we don't need to wait for them to get killed until we give them a higher status of respect. So if we use the term "dead" for a martyr, we are not only wrong as they are alive according to what even the holy Quran says, but that also lowers their status and reduces their effort and noble sacrifice. Same goes to the fighters and mujahideen, we call them mujahideen, not militias, reducing their noble sacrifice and status to something from high status to the status of something lower, ambiguous and doesn't give enough respect

In Arabic media, the term "militia" is HEAVILY used to defame the fighters, disrespect them and paint them as unprofessional armed people, rather than stating that they are resistance fighters, fighting and resisting global powers and foiling American/Zionist agendas. There is a reason also why Hezbollah, Hamas, PMF and Ansarullah never call themselves militias but mujahideen, you are not smarter than them, nor you know more than they do, nor that you can speak for them while you are sitting at home and say something about them while THEY themselves don't use because it is disrespectful foreign label. There is a reason why the enemy uses that word in media against the resistance. So why do we use a word that feeds the Western/Colonialist narrative and also defying Islam?

As for the term proxy, it is very simple. Proxies are never taught to produce their own weapons so they are reliant on their masters to continue fulfilling their agendas and never bite the hand of the master, while allies are taught to produce their drones, missiles and help them to be independent on their own. Look at how Hamas, Hezbollah and Ansarullah are able to create their own weapons and rockets, while Syrian terrorist groups were only given weapons to follow their masters or else support will be cut completely

🇮🇶 | Prominent PMF leader and mujahid, Abu Azrael, says that "We [PMF] are not militias"

🔸 PIJ/Hamas never refer to themselves as militias, Hezbollah never refers to themselves as militias, PMF never refer to themselves as militias, Ansarullah never refer to themselves as militias. Abu Azerael, a prominent mujahid and leader in, with a very high position in PMF and he is one who speaks for the resistance group, says they are NOT militias...

Yet, some would defy all of them and call them militias, label them as what they say they are not? What entitlement and ignorance that is to call them all wrong, oppose Islamic values in this matter and use colonizer word used to disrespect the fighters/mujahideen? You do not speak for the resistance for who they are, you don't sit and define who they are
