Is the "k-word" the Arabic for infidel? If yes, were there a lot of Arabs/Arabic speakers in South Africa?

It has etymological roots in the Arabic word, but is spelt differently and it has no meaning or use except as a slur of which there is nothing more offensive to say to blacks (“blacks” is a completely acceptable term here).
We don’t have much of an Arabic community here.
