A man who is a servant to the Europeans, from the day he was born until now, who carries their equipment or loads their camels, or who slaughters sheep and goats for them or hunts with them, or serves as a scout for them or who has in his heart a false profession of faith that [such a man] should be treated as a Muslim our God has not said and I cannot accept.
