Infidel is the English word popularized in movies and media. The term Kafir or Kefr just means someone who is not Moslem.


The word for holy warrior is Mujahid, with the plural being "Mujahadeen"

By putting Arabic styled lettering with the words infidel bash and a picture of a "terrorist" you are making the connotations that Arabs are all savage xenophobes bent on destroying everything that isn't Moslem or Arab.


You are also now being hypocritical, as you are making this event out to be something its not.

I interpret Infidel Bash, as infidel (refering to me, and my fellow countryman, in this case more specifically airsofters) and Bash (party)

so, basically Airsofter Party

so STFU and don't derail the event thread by trying to make Riddick into a racist bastard, and the Fun-times to be had airsoft event into a Crusade against Muslims and/or Arabs

Thanks for the perspective Darius ;)

To keep things in perspective though: We're adults playing army with guns that shoot plastic BBs living out fantasies that are as poorly written as grade B straight to DVD popcorn flicks. Reality can take a long weekend on this one.

I really don't want this to blow up into something.

We will alter the image.

The game itself has a theme of arab vs usa but of course people wouldn't know that since no details have been provided

infidel like read said is referring to us.

Bash cuz the whole event is supposed to be like a party atmosphere.

It's airsoft not some sort of radical movement. there is no racism that is intended here. Do we really have to take it to that level? It's not like AP is CNN. I think most people will understand my representation here.

Just a fun event. with a small inspiration of our countrymen that fight in the sandbox.

Magazine Restrictions:
All mags are allowed *With exception of M4 box mags

M4 box mags cuz I know one person who owns like 5 of them ;-)

Otherwise I do not see any issue.

Like a garage sale in a sense. You can buy and sell gear and what not there.

If you're going to go to war against a major enemy, go; knock the hell out of him fast, and go in there to kill him and get it over with.
