As per the Islamic lexicon, a kaffir is a 'non believer' .
Take it for what it is worth.
To be honest, I am not offended since I am indeed a non Moslem and if they feel that one has to believe in their religion to be a good soul and that their religion alone is the passport to Heaven, then let them suffer the delusion.
Religion is basically a belief that ensure a social order in society through laws that cannot otherwise be ordained democratically eg must pray daily in the kneeling position or five times in a variety of successive positions in sequence or starving oneself for a period of time by order of the Almighty etc etc. Since I am not acquainted with the Almighty, I let the Almighty please himself the way He pleases with his flock or followers. It is the right of the Almighty as also that of his followers and I do not wish to come between them unless they force their ways on me or act in a way that upsets my lifestyle.
Having an aversion to being ordered around the deck, I leave being "religious" to others, while I prefer to do as I think is OK for my conscience and I appreciate what I experience and not being ordered to appreciate something that some wise man has experienced himself and passed it on as "religion".
But then each man to his views.
The bottomline remains - Be Happy.
