"In the resistance we encounter a regular feature of Islamic wars: the professional soldier (askar) is devalued with respect to the mujahedin, who is a volunteer and a believer, but also with respect to the warrior and the merchant and artisan." Source: The American War in Afghanistan by Carter Malkasian
What is the difference between "soldier" and "warrior" in this context? The first one is professional fighter, the second one a volunteer? If so, what is the difference between the warrior and the mujahedin?
