Not the meaning as "one who rejects Islam" let's face it, if Islam has been rejected then it's because the seeker has not found the "truth" in its message. So it does not matter one iota to be referred to as a unbeliever in Islam.

So the word "kafir" and it's use in an abusive and insulting way is supposed to make the rejector of Islam reconsider? Ludicrous.. How to reconsider the validity of a religion that insults and abuses other in the name of their god and expect this would put them in a good light as decent kind people.. Ludicrous.

Thankfully most oat people I hope would have the good sense they were born with to recognise that some muslims are not necessarily the best representatives for Islam. ..... If the cap fits etc..

The issue is very simple and does not need to flatter
I do not believe in the divinity of Christ, therefore I am an infidel Christianity
Conversely
You do not believe in the Prophethood of Prophet Muhammad - So you infidel Islam
