My name is Khan, I am not a terrorist According to Quran, human is the most honorable of all beings. He is the caliph (leader of a Muslim nation) of Allah (swt) on earth. Because of that, it has been attached great importance to him and he has been honored. Killing an innocent considered as killing all of the humanity. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) held non-Muslim funerals in respect, therefore emphasized how much more important of being a humanthan belonging to any religion. This conception has a great share for Muslims having tolerance towards other people of different religions and having a tradition of dialogue with them. On the other hand, just because Muslims conception of other religions depends on Quranic decrees, they have never compelled people to convert under their sway. It should be seen as the natural consequence of the (Quranic) principle, There is no compulsion inthe religion. (Baqarah Surah, 2:256) Thereby, people who were in the conquered territories have never come across with compulsion, on the contrary with the condition of paying a special tax (jizya); they had been let free to choose their faith. Some of the Prophets (pbuh) statements have brought a light on the matter for Muslimadministrators.These are; Whoever hurts a Non-Muslim citizen of a Muslim state hurts me, and he who hurts me annoys God." (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith) "He who hurts a Non-Muslim citizen of a Muslim state, I am his adversary, and I shall be his adversary on the Day of a Judgment." (Bukhari)
