"In summary, if a Muslim meets a kafir who does not have a covenant, it is permissible for him to kill him, and if the kafir says to him: โThere is no god but Allah,โ it is not permissible to kill him, because he has become protected by the protection of Islam, which prevents his
blood (from being spilled), his wealth (from being taken), and his family (his women and children from being enslaved). If he killed him after that (the declaration of faith) then he is killed for him (as qisas). "

show what an actual scholar says about none Muslim blood. You are free to disagree with the judgement of the great scholar, but you have to contend with the fact that this is one of the great scholars. He's not just your local Imam, he was a judge in Islamic Spain, he is quoted
by scholars who came after him, his books are printed and studied till this day (almost nine hundred years after his death).
If you do disagree with his ruling, there has to be a reason, and the simple truth is what he is saying is the standard view of the scholars.

Personally, I prefer arguments based on the primary proofs, I don't really like "this scholar said that scholar said", but I have found most people are too emotional to rationally assess the primary proofs. I quote to educate, not to advocate random killing.
