well u might have visited my thread faq on islam where i've put forward 20Qs which the non muslims ask abt the religion of islam but on that thread i forgot to post the answers so im gonna answer all the questions one by one
Why do Muslims abuse non-Muslims by calling them ‘Kafirs’?
Answer:
‘Kafir’ means one who rejects.
‘Kafir’ is derived from the word ‘kufr’, which means to conceal or to reject. In Islamic terminology, ‘Kafir’ means one who conceals or rejects the truth of Islam and a person who rejects Islam is in English called a ‘non-Muslim’.
If non-Muslims are hurt - they should accept Islam.
If any non-Muslim considers the word ‘Kafir’ i.e. ‘non-Muslim’ as an abuse, he may choose to accept Islam and then we will stop referring to him as or call him a kafir i.e. a non-Muslim.
