the term...INFIDEL
The Origin of the Word Infidel The word infidel, is actually a Catholic term, used by the Iberian (Spanish + Portugese) Catholics to describe a person with any other religious affiliation beside that of Christian Catholicism. This might come as a shock to many but the list of persons referred to as infidels, are Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Protestants, Arians have been subject to use of this terminology by Catholic Christianity. My evidence isn’t Muslim scholarship, but the 1910, Volume 8 of the Catholic Encyclopedia:

اتَّخَذُواْ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ وَالْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا أُمِرُواْ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُواْ إِلَـهًا وَاحِدًا لاَّ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ سُبْحَانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ {31

They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires in opposition to Allah), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] to worship none but One Ilah (God - Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praised, glorified, and exalted is he, (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."
Mufti Amjad Mohammed and Mufti Sacha Batley will then have to come on the Day of Qiyaamah and say, "O Allaah, You were wrong (Na`oodhubillaah). You shouldn't have said Sharee`ah must be implemented on earth. It was impossible and impractical."
We don't need to debate anything with Mufti Amjad Mohammed and Mufti Sacha Batley. If Allaah Ta`aalaa says, "Make Salaah." And Mufti Amjad Mohammed and Mufti Sacha Batley say "Don't make Salaah", there's nothing to debate or discuss. It's a clear matter for every listener: are you going to follow Allaah, or are you going to follow "Shaykh Fulaan".
Every person will carry their own sins on the day of Qiyaamah. On that day, "Mufti Amjad Mohammed" and "Mufti Sacha Batley" can't carry the sins of any person or even lessen them. On that day, even Shaytaan will tell the people, "I didn't force any of you to commit sins. I just called you and you obeyed me, so don't blame me - blame yourselves."
. The religious edict condemned terrorism and extremism and declared suicide attackers and their supporters as traitors. It also declared Jihad a jurisdiction of Islamic state and disallowed use of force in name of enforcement of Islamic laws.
fatwa was signed, among others, by Mufti Muneebur Rehman, Mufti Rafi Usmani, Maulana Hanif Jalandhari, Mufti Muhammad Naeem, Maulana Abdul Razzak Sikandar, Allama Riaz Hussain Najafi, Maulana Muhammad Yasin Zafar, Maulana Ghulam Muhammad Sialvi, Maulana Zahid Mahmood QasmiMufti Mahmoodul Hassan Mahmood and Maulana Hamidul Haq Haqqani.
