kuffar and mushrikeen are not meant to diminish anybody. they are descriptive words of the poeple who either do not believe in God/ Allah are unbelievers, or those who worship idols or associate somone else with God like the pagans.

the verb Associate means ishrak in arabic and the noun associate means sharik or mushrik.

kafir means unbeliever in Arabic.
