Kadrun

In Indonesian politics, the term Kadrun (Kadal Gurun) is an epithet directed at people who are considered narrow-minded, especially those influenced by extremism and fundamentalism movements from the Middle East, to stigmatize those labeled as radical. "Kadal Gurun" probably refers to the Dhab, a type of lizard commonly distributed in the deserts of the Middle East.
A: Sir, what is the religion of terrorists?
B: That's wrong! That's a false understanding! Terrorists don't have a religion! They're atheists!
A: Owalah you are indeed a Kadrun.

(Here the term Kadrun refers to anyone who technically supports Radical Islamic movements. This term is very popular in Indonesia.)
