The word "infidel" was first used by the Crusaders to insult
Arabs. It is French for a dummy!

Infidel is equivalent to the French infidele - but the word actually means "unfaithful", which, since it has a derogatory meaning, makes it very, very close to the itended meaning of the Arabic "kafir" ("unbeliever", but in a derogatory sense) that it is used as a translation for these days.

Are you on a crusade to call people names? You didn't even answer my question about water outside of the atmosphere with any intelligence. You just spewed elementary knowledge of the water cycle.
You must be an American.
