Position of Infidels, even if he is a minister like Shahbaz Bhatti, is always below Muslims.

In my earlier post, I noted that enough security might not have been provided to, already, slain-ed minister, Shahbaz Bhatti, even after he received death threats and fatwas for his death were issued by many leaders of Islamic parties. I also noted that all these security precautions, yet, might not have saved him because security guards themselves might pull the trigger as it happened in the case of Salmaan Taseer. Now, TOI reports:

"Muslims and Non Muslims are not equal in Islam", a Saudi Sheikh says.

One of main purposes of many critics of Islam and Islamic law is to make Non Muslims to see the Islamic apartheid towards Non Muslims. When they do this, they are branded as islamaphobes, hate mongers and right wingers. But not one honest refutation of what islamaphobes say about Islam is attempted but the entire energy is directed towards shutting down discussions and analysis. So we have another islamaphobe here from Saudi Arabia, birth place of Islam, whose constitution is Koran and Hadith. Saudi Sheikh, 'Abd-al-Rahman bin Nasir al-Barrak is a senior cleric of Saudi Islamic establishment; he does not belong to fringe groups outside the ring. He says in his fatwa that Muslims and Non Muslims are not equal in Islam (The original fatwa in Arabic). Poor guy, after spending his entire life studying Islamic law, he is still accused of not understanding Koran properly by people who never read Koran! Then, this is insane world.

Sharia Law concerning Non Muslims; Can this be called Tolerant?

Note: This is edited one. I just added another law that I found in their Sharia book to the original post. Apart from this addition, there are no changes to the original post. This addition is about the law that says Non Muslims can not testify in an Islamic court of law.

What do provisions and components of Sharia law say with regard to Non Muslims? Muslims, especially those living in infidel countries say Islam teaches tolerance, brotherhood and equality and justice. Nothing is further from truth than a statement like Islam teaches tolerance. It is good to see from their own law book, Fiqh which is an extension of Sharia.

One of the four schools of Islam is Shafi'i school. 'Umdat as-Salik wa 'Uddat an-Nasik is the manual of their law book which was translated in to English by an American Muslim  Nuh Ha Mim Keller under the title ‘Reliance of the Traveller and Tools of the Worshipper’. In short it is called ‘Reliance of the Traveler’. This translation was approved by Al-Azhar University, the most authoritative in the Sunni branch of Islam.
