I have a question for my Muslim friends in this group. The media throws around the word takfiri without defining it. Wiki defines it like this A takfiri (Arabic: تكفيري takfīrī) is a Muslim who accuses another Muslim (or member of Abrahamic religions) of apostasy. The accusation itself is called takfir, derived from the word kafir (infidel), and is described as when one who is, or claims to be, a Muslim is declared impure. My question is this. Do you find this definition accurate? How could it be rephrased to better explain to my non Muslim and partly clueless friends? Infidel and apostasy doesnt translate well in English - so maybe religious traitor? Any suggestions appreciated...
