1. The right to life is guaranteed to non-Moslems on the basis of the general rule which says; "For them what is for us and upon them what is upon us."
The Prophet (r) said;

Re: PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT OF LIFE TO NON- MOSLEMS
So those Moslems who murdered my fellow country men on 7/7 are murdering bastards who now burn in hell ?
And those who refuse to condemn their actions, or in someway or another seek to justify, explain or in other ways excuse these despicable and evil actions are themselves, from an Islamic point of view, just as guilty as those who carry out such actions ?
I assume the same principle applies to the mobs who came out on the streets to celebrate 9/11 ??? Such people are scum ?
And further one assumes from what you write that this applies to those who murder Jews in Israel ?
And if all this is true why, as a Christian, can I not visit Mecca nor build a church in Saudi Arabia ? If you regard me as equal and worthy, and if your God so regards then why do you persecute me and my religion ? I am discriminated against because I am a Christian. By doing so you offend your God and show yourself as being unworthy to call yourself a follower of him.
Re: PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT OF LIFE TO NON- MOSLEMS
the Muslims believe that it is not permissible, under any circumstances whatsoever, for a Muslim to mistreat a non-Muslim who is not hostile towards Islam; so the Muslim should not commit aggression against him, or frighten him, or terrorize him, or steal his wealth, or embezzle him, or deprive him of his rights, or deny him his trust, or deny him his wages, or withhold from him the price of his goods when buying from him or withhold the profits of a partnership if he is in a business partnership with him.
The Muslims believe that it is obligatory upon the Muslims to honour treaties or agreements made with a non-Muslim party. If a Muslim has agreed to their conditions when seeking permission to enter their country (i.e., a visa) and has promised to adhere to that, then it is not permissible for him to commit mischief in their land, to betray anyone, to steal, to kill or to do any destructive action, and so on.
The Muslims believe that it is permissible for a Muslim to treat kindly those non-Muslims who are not hostile, whether by offering financial help, feeding the hungry, giving them loans if needed or interceding with regard to permissible matters, or speaking kindly to them or returning their greetings, and so on. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity
[al-Mumtahanah 60:8]
-There is no reason why Muslims should not cooperate with non-Muslims with regard to establishing truth and combating falsehood, to support the oppressed and ward off danger from mankind, such as cooperating to fight pollution or to protect the environment, or to combat epidemic diseases and so on.
