Term Kuffar: Negative qualities of a person. Used by extremists to argue the negative qualities by one is their inability to follow Islamic guidelines for life. Significance: A Kuffar could be one not following Islam or an unbeliever to faith. Thus such forces need to be purged from the person and even society and even the World. Remember it’s about PURIFICATION AND STRICT INTERPRETATION!

Quran
40:35[40:35] “And Joseph did come to you before with clear proofs, but you ceased not to be in doubt concerning that with which he came to you till, when he died, you said: ‘Allah will never raise up a Messenger after him.’ Thus does Allah adjudge as lost those who transgress, and are doubters,

Quran
25:78[25:78] Say to the disbelievers: ‘But for your prayer to Him my Lord would not care for you. You have indeed rejected the truth, and the punishment of your rejection will now cleaveto you.’

Quran
[5:33] Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

Quran
[4:91] You will find others who wish to obtain security from you and [to] obtain security from their people. Every time they are returned to [the influence of] disbelief, they fall back into it. So if they do not withdraw from you or offer you peace or restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you overtake them. And those - We have made for you against them a clear authorization.
