This is the
command of God, and whosoever shall deny it and disobey God shall
hold him for a liar.
"Moreover it shall be a duty with my followers to repair the
churches of the Christians, rendering them the service not as a
debt, but for God's sake and for the keeping of the covenant, made
to them by the Apostle of God.
"No Christian shall be compelled to go forth in time of war as an
envoy or spy against his people.
"These are the privileges which Mohammed, the Apostle of God, hath
granted to the followers of Christ. In return he requested them to
deal with him and with the Moslems as follows:--
"1. None of them in time of war shall give assistance, either
openly or in secret, to the enemies of Islam.
"2. They shall not give asylum in their churches or in their houses
to the enemies of Islam.
"3. They shall not help them with arms, or rations, or horses, or
men.
"4. They shall not keep counsel with the declared enemies of Islam,
nor receive them in their houses, nor deposit money with them.
"5. They shall grant to all Moslems seeking their hospitality
entertainment for at least three days.
