Delicious, Delicious Infidel Meat

1. As a Muslim I don’t remember when was the last time I walked into a shop and said “dElIcoUs iNfiDeL mEaT”.
   Also we don’t go around calling people infidels, infact this word has christian bases.

2. It’s true, the term “infidel” comes from the French:

   infidel (n.)
   mid-15c., “adherent of a religion opposed to Christianity,” from Old French infidèle, from Latin infidelis “unfaithful, not to be trusted,” in Late Latin “unbelieving” (in Medieval Latin also as a noun, “unbeliever”), from in- “not, opposite of” (see in- (1)) + fidelis “faithful” (from PIE root *bheidh- “to trust, confide, persuade”).
   Originally “a non-Christian” (especially a Saracen); later “one who does not believe in religion, disbeliever in religion generally” (1520s). Also used to translate Arabic qafir (see Kaffir), which is from a root meaning “to disbelieve, to deny,” strictly referring to all non-Muslims but virtually synonymous with “Christian;” hence, from a Muslim or Jewish point of view, “a Christian” (1530s). As an adjective from mid-15c., “of a religion opposed to Christianity;” 1520s as “rejecting the Christian religion while accepting no other.”

   The proper Muslim term is kafir–

   Kafir (Arabic: كافر kāfir; plural كَافِرُونَ kāfirūna, كفّار kuffār or كَفَرَة kafarah; feminine كافرة kāfirah; feminine plural كافرات kāfirāt or كوافر kawāfir) is an Arabic term which, in the Islamic tradition, refers to a person who disbelieves in God as per Islam, or denies his authority, or rejects the tenets of Islam. The term is often translated as “infidel”, “pagan”, “rejector”, “denier”, “disbeliever”, “unbeliever”, “nonbeliever”. The term is used in different ways in the Quran, with the most fundamental sense being “ungrateful” (toward God). Kufr means unbelief, “to be thankless”, “to be faithless”, or “ingratitude”. Its opposite is īmān or faith.

   All that said, I think Kamala was just making a joke.

3. I kbow that it’s comics and applauded for Marvel to depict diversity…
   But there was a time on twitter where they given this matter of ‘infidel meat’ a religious turn! People can’t be patient in entertainment things nowadays… Always triggered…

   Anyways, as usage of term ‘infidel meat’ who’s accountable either Kamala Khan or the story writer of the same at Marvel?
   Bcoz, they said Katy Percy, Jewish mutant wouldn’t refer bacon as ‘goyim meat’…

   So being a typical redirection to Islamophobia…

   Stanley said it’s the writers mind, ideas, hopes, etc… who write comics in desired way that affects the character to have such trait which defines their behaviour any longer in future…
   So if Spider-Man is being friendly neighborhood, it was the Stanley & Steve Ditko’s characteristic ideas for him…

   But they kept being ignorant & dumb to call out Kamala Khan as being stereotypic, racial which shows their misunderstood notion of muslims being alike so… Again in turn they’re being stereotypic…
   It’s like being hero to tackle villain, but instead becomes another villain…
