Quran cannot be changed. What's recorded in it, is things that happened historically. Yes it can be used as a guide, but as the world evolves, we have scholars who guide. Besides most states are democratic and follow democratic rules of their country. For example, Islamic law would be to chop the hands off, of thieves. But under democratic law, we would seek legal route.
Non Muslims, is in English. Kaafir is in Arabic meaning the same. Quran says Kaafir, because the language was Arabic. Back then the dharmic religion existed, but it was not given names such as Hinduism, Sikhism etc so it just fell under the same bracket as non Muslims. I believe only Jewish back then were called Yahudi. I agree, there is no need to use the word Kaafir, if it offends.
The kind of thing that happened in Pahalgham should not have happened. It was outrageous. The people behind it should be punished. My argument is, in trying to punish the ones responsible, do not punish the innocent ones. If that happens, naturally the attacks will only increase and both ways. Both countries will be destroyed not just one. Naturally any country will go after terrorists and it is their right to do so. Like look what Israel did to Gazza, to look for Hamas group, they destroyed the Gazza, civilians suffered.
