kuf
n.— «In one conversation, Akbar suggested bombing the “kufs,” a derogatory term for non-Muslims, in a London nightclub. “The biggest nightclub in central London, no one can put their hands up and say they are innocent—those slags dancing around,” Akbar says. “When we kill the kuf, this is because we know Allah hates the kufs.”» —“Canadian Had ‘Vital Role’: Crown” by Sandro Contenta Toronto Star (Canada) May 1, 2007.
