Infidel in Islam is not regarded as offensive. In Quran and per Islam religion, the Arabic or Islamic corresponding source word of infidel is 'kafir'. Kafir means one who "covers", in the sense of hiding. Thus, In Islam and Quran, kafir means one who covers, intentionally, the truth that God is the one and only one God, the Creator. Hence, according to Islamic religion, the term kafir or infidel refers to the person who does not recognize (or does not believe in) the one and only God (Allah). Accordingly, kafir or infidel includes the polytheists, hanotheists, and atheists. Any Christian or Jew, who believes in one and only one God, is known in Islam religion and in Quran as one of " the people of the book" where book means one of God holy books as The Bible, the Torah, and/or any of Heaven books. In Islam, kafir or infidel can be used to refer to Hindus, Buddhist, Sikhs, pagans, agnostics, and atheists.
