Salim, Kafir is a "rejecter". In the Islamic doctrinal sense the term refers to a person who does not recognize God (Allah) or the prophethood of Muhammad (i.e., any non-Muslim) or who hides, denies, or covers the truth. In cultural terms, it is seen as a derogatory term used to describe an unbeliever, non-Muslims, apostate from Islam and even between Muslims of different sects. It is usually translated into English as "infidel" or "unbeliever."
What do you conclude reading the definition above? Kafir has been used as a derogatory term throughout the history by Muslims.

Atleast Hindus respect and see god in other human beings. As a part of Sanathana Dharma, Every human being has spark of god in him/her. But Islam kills other people in the name of god. What a hypocrite these b** muslims are? On one side, they say submit yourselves completely to GOD, On the other side they follow what human( mohammad ) has said and kill/denigrate other who are non believers of what quran/mohammad says. History is full of examples of what muslims did to non-believers(torture deaths, cutting hands/body parts even afer a person is killed. They were just following what quran says. Isn't killing non believers(quran has passage on this) against the gods own creation, which means are not contradicting. As some one in this forum said aptly " hindus build temples, but muslims huild jihad factories

Islam does not kill. It only RECOMMENDS KILLING. The dastardly act is preached by the perverse mullahs and EXECUTED BY stupid followers.

holy crap .. why does the talk always have to veer towards the hindu muslim issue .. cant it be just about the temple and nothing else for a change. does the goodness and the greatness of a religion, any religion, have to be proved by denigratign someone elses. this is just disgusting

These are lies. Why dont you cover the matter of how kafirs need to be treated as per islam ? Also - why dont you check what the prophet did after his uncles death ? He behaved how he asked his followers to behave after being to a kafirs place. So much for family, love between human beings etc. How can an ideology be above humanity ? Answer that Salim
