Re: The attitude behind calling someone a kafir

@Mirch

It is as derogatory only if it is used for a Muslim person. If you call a Muslim person kafir they will be offended because they are believers in what Islam has to offer. It is non derogatory if used for a non-Muslim , it is a statement of truth. Since they do not believe in what we believe so the are negating our beliefs and so are kafir or non-Muslim, which is a dictionary meaning of this term. There is nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade. No ?
If you call some fair colored desi kalia , they will be offended , but if you call kalia , kalia they should not be offended.

See THAT is the point Mirch. If I as a muslim is offended IF someone calls ME a kafir, it means I find that word derogatory. Hence I should be careful and not use it for others.
