Thomas M., My source is several acquaintances of mine that came to America from Pakistan. They are taught that any person that is not a Muslim, is an enemy of Islam, therefore and infidel. The Quran has zero tolerance of any religion other than Islam. The acquaintances refuted the part of the Quran that exhorted Muslims to kill all infidels, even thought they continued to worship Allah in their Mosque. I have nothing against any other religion as long as their goal is not to murder those that disagree with them.

Thomas,

A Muslim considers one that does not believe in Allah as an infidel.

A common characteristic of an infidel is a person who is polytheistic. As far as polytheism, Muslims consider Christians polytheistic because they feel Christians worship three Gods. And America, (far from a Christian nation, in my honest opinion), is based upon Christian principles and considered by many to be a Christian nation. So that tells you more about what Islam thinks of America. We are polytheistic, or "idolaters (infidels)", in their opinions.

Of course, we all know how many Muslims feel about Jewish people. And we are great supporters of Israel. They are infidels as well.

God Bless,
IGIT
