This might get interesting. My boss, who is currently on holiday and not
aware of all this, is from Egypt and is moslem. He was also aware that I

"I'm a christian but in our country 'kaffir' term use in moslem and
Christian. 'kaffir' was adapted to our national language ('Bahasa

against ALLAH (God)",
but in our Christian community term 'kaffir' mean : "man/people outside
Jews/Israel"
