It seems funny we (non-Muslims) are suppose stop using terms or saying things they (muslims) do not like and respect their ways but they do not see a need to stop using terms we do not like being called or repsecting our ways.

For example I found this posted at:

Pay careful attention to the last part.

Kafir/Kuffar - Is it an insult?
1. Kafir means one who rejects.

‘Kafir’ is derived from the word ‘kufr’, which means to conceal or to reject. In Islamic terminology, ‘Kafir’ means one who conceals or rejects the truth of Islam and a person who rejects Islam is in English called a ‘non-Muslim’.

2. If non-Muslims are hurt - they should accept Islaam.

If any non-Muslim considers the word ‘Kafir’ i.e. ‘non-Muslim’ as an abuse, he may choose to accept Islam and then we will stop referring to him as or call him a kafir i.e. a non-Muslim.
