As a Muslim I find being called Kafoor a term of abuse.?

Question

For which I am ready to commit harm until the statement is retracted-do any other of my Muslim brothers and sisters feel the same way?
It seems the "white" race have adopted this word as an insult.

I now know how to offend two races at the same time!

Suomi-what is Haram?

Answer 1

Go and eat a plate of porkfat, kafoor dog.

Answer 2

Hi

I have never heard of this particular term before, I have heard of the term kafir, which is the term applied to anyone who rejects the word of god. kafoor i think is a collective term which can apply to a whole community i think? I'm not sure

It is wrongly assumed that all non muslims can be called kafir, this is not true.

I would get angry at muslims calling other muslims kafir, as this is strictly forbidden, i wouldn't however commit any harm because if someone is less knowledgable than I and doesn't know that, that term should be used so openly, then me being angry is pointless and i am only harming myself. One can only advise we cannot force things upon anyone.

if we started getting angry and commiting harm just because of a word then it is so easy to explain the wars that are going on this world. This culture must stop and we as a community of educated people must rise above such things.

Seeing as kaffir/kaffur/kufr is a Muslim term anyway, why would anyone call you that? Would it not be cancelled out anyway as being a Muslim you cannot by your own beliefs be "kufr"?
In South Africa the word kaffir was taken into Afrikaans from Dutch- borrowed from the (muslim) East Indies and came to be used a derogatory term for the black peoples of S.A. In S.Africa the word is highly offensive and listed by law as racist term the use of which can be prosecuted under law.
Perhaps, however, you should calm down and remember the old addage "sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me". Do not respond to the wicked man with wicked ways and go in peace in the name of the G-d of Abraham/Ibrahim, Ben Ishmael.

Answer 4

In the same way that you would use it to describe people of other religious beliefs- even those followers of the book, then they will use it about you.

My daughter was told at school that her mother (me of course) was Kafoor because her mother was a Christian. Of course it hurt because it was said to her in a derogatory way by one of her teachers.

I told her to tell the teacher in question that was how she was viewed by people of other religions, because she was not a true believer of theirs, and she felt that that was just not possible!!

You see, abuse like beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Answer 5

When I was at school I was called all sorts of names like, Sweaty feet or Smelly belly but I coped with it. Some people are called Fatty or Skinny. These are all unpleasant things to say to people but most people, including myself, don't run around blaming the world for their problems. You remind me of the minority of young black people who feel they have the right to shoot somebody for being "dissed" as they call it. It may have conveniently escaped your notice that, at the time of my writing, no other Muslim has come forward to support you. Finally, I do not believe you are a Muslim. I think you are a BNP member trying to make trouble, so crawl back under your stone.

Answer 6

Yes, that must be difficult for you, there are some short sighted people out there. I am not talking about sight here.

It is sad, but there is very little knowledge out there.

The way out of it, is to expect bad behaviour from people and then you won't be disappointed.

Personally, I do not like to hear this word either. Take care brother.

Answer 7

Isnt "the white race" a little racist "brother". Its a good job "the white race" don't commit harm everytime some loon like you offends them.

Answer 8

Yes, Definitely, they will abuse this term of Kafoor because you have to rectify the term "Gafoor" this is a Muslim name.
for example :

Muslim Name : Mohamed Gafoor
Non Muslim Name : Anil Kafoor

So many differences of above mentioning name. Kindly use and follow above mentioning Muslim name like that in future, No body will refuse.

Answer 9

i dont know what you are on about ,,,the word is a term used to blacks in south africa and has nothing at all to do with muslims,
it is a slang term used by white south africans against black south africans,and the word is Kaffer once again muslims are all too ready to "feel"persecution and predujice and think the world should jump to their tune,,dream on the world will never become muslim dominated.
in your dreams

Answer 10

I find the term " the white race" a term of abuse and am ready to do harm until it is retracted...
Does not your racist logic look stupid when we reverse it?
