What is a Kafir?

Question

Why is a Kafir considered to be unclean, and in the same category as urine, feces, semen, a dead body, blood, dogs, pigs, alcoholic beverage, and the sweat of an animal that eats unclean things?

Answer 1

Kafir is an Islamic hate word. It is used to dehumanize non-muslims so that the Jihadist doesnt feel anything when he kills them as the Quran demands.

Answer 2

Kafir (Arabic: كافر kāfir; plural كفّار kuffār) is an Arabic word meaning an unbeliever, a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth. In cultural terms, it is a derogatory term used to describe an unbeliever, non-Muslims, a Muslim of a differing sect, or an apostate from Islam. It is usually translated into English as "infidel" or "unbeliever".

Debate exists between some Muslim scholars as to whether the term applies to Jews and Christians, as these can also be regarded as Dhimmi, or People of the Book. It has been used historically to identify Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, and followers of non-denominational religions or local, pagan traditions.

Answer 3

kafir refers to any "unbeliever," which is anyone who is not a Muslim and who has not submitted to the will of God.

Often it is only used to refer to pagans and not Jews, Christians or Zoroastrians, because they are regarded as "people of the book," believers who follow an older, if superseded, revelation from God.

Answer 4

If you're going to be making fake claims, at least make them plausible.

No where is it a belief that Kafir are unclean, etc. They are people, and it is encouraged that all people be supported and respected equally.

Answer 5

it has nothing to do with muslims,its a word that was used by the south african boers to describe their blacks.

Answer 6

No, your information is false.

A kaffir is an unbeliever. Please stop spreading lies. Is that acceptable in your religion?
