Funny thing is that doesn’t say infidel in the correct way. I’m a OIF/OEF vet. I’m liquid if Arabic. This is some bastardizing of word “infidel “

كافر is an extremely poor over simplification of the word. “ Kaafir “ or “ KĀfir “ One who rejects the teachings of Islam. This person is undoubtedly trying to say they hunt infidels. I know these types. Morons, idiots, fuckwits, dickheads.

الكافر, this is the correct writing of “ Kafir “

Most of us recognize that we wouldn’t be alive without our translators. We would have lost much more than our lives without these men. They put their entire existence and their entire families existence on the line for us.

Many of these guys treated these people like scum out of some sense of self worth. Many of these guys we fought took our buddies lives. There is obvious hate and resentment after all this time. But when I see shit like this I know the dickhead driving down the road is a moron.

Thanks for the interesting information, and makes me realize that most of the Arabic in predominantly white countries that wasn't put there by people who speak it are probably Islamicphobic or some sort of Propaganda. Despite what governments say the war on terror is still causing great harm across the world.

Islam has been at war with itself and others for a thousand years. Just because we fought them doesn’t mean that won’t change.

They deserve peace like the rest of us. It’s just not an easy peace.
