Semi-protected edit request on 7 November 2021

RegentsPark, just like you found reliable sources for the word, "unbelievers" and linked that word to the Kafir article in the Jihad article (see here), I request you to do the same here, that is, link the first occurrence of the word, "non-Muslim" to the Kafir article. I am unable to read what your sources say in the Jihad article. Thank you very much. 2405:204:5197:8209:F40:6AB3:9CF9:4CF0 (talk) 16:50, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Anyone can do so. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:5197:8209:f40:6ab3:9cf9:4cf0 (talk) 16:53, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
I could find this, this, this and this online. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:5197:8209:F40:6AB3:9CF9:4CF0 (talk) 17:09, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
RegentsPark used these sources in the Jihad article:-

The term kafir and non-Muslims are not always interchangeable and many Muslims feel it is somewhat of a slur[1].VR talk 17:26, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
If I'm right, Wikipedia is based on reliable sources and not what Muslims feel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.75.90.176 (talk) 17:52, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Wikipedia must adhere to WP:NPOV. "Kafir" is a derogatory term. To refer to non-Muslims as "kafir" is incredibly POV. It is a view that is not even shared universally among Muslims, let alone non-Muslims.VR talk 20:58, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

RegentsPark, it is now up to you to add the link or not (since you added it in the Jihad article). I give up.
Kautilya3, you removed the wikilink, linking the word, "unbelievers" to the Kafir article, in the article on Jihad, a little while ago, so can you do what is asked above or explain why it should not be linked at least?
