Excerpts
Or take items 9, 10, and 11 in the summary, They say the following: “It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslim unless he (or she) openly declares disbelief. It is forbidden in Islam to harm or mistreat - in any way - Christians or any ‘People of the Scripture’. It is obligatory to consider Yazidis as People of the Scripture.”
It is obvious why the clerics have offered these bits of clarifications, since Christians and Yazidis have been at the receiving end of ISIS’s violence and beheadings. But why is it necessary to say that it is forbidden to mistreat Christians or Yazidis or people of the scripture specifically, when it should be clear that any human being is eligible for being treated with respect and not be harmed without reason?
