2. Those that not share the mutual enlightenment of Allah’s followers should be tolerated and treated as an equal, for they cannot help being born outside our sacred lands.

3. These three laws will be the bulwark of the civility within the  Sheikhdom, for they are set in stone by the only supreme authority that reigns above all, Allah.
