Muslim in the literal sense is an Arabic word that simply means believer (believes in God). Infidel is someone who doesn't believe in God. Then comes interpretation about who qualifies. Well, people who are bigoted against Mormons and would like to eliminate them will call Mormans infidels and kill them in Illinois, forcing them to move to Utah and such. The word infidel can get mixed in with heretic pretty easily. So, depending on who you decide to hate, you can gather information and rally a mob and pretty much use the 'infidel' label where ever you want.
