 '''Other Saudi theologians, including Abu-Muhammad al-Maqdasi and Abu-Basir al-Tartussi, go further and apply tattarrus to situations where no "infidel" troops are present.''' Thus they justify the killing of innocent Muslim Saudis in Saudi Arabia because, they claim, such actions could lead to the establishment of a "truly Islamic regime."<ref>Robert Spencer - [http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/06/sheikhs-debate-whether-killing-muslim-non-combatants-is-permissible.html Sheikhs debate whether killing Muslim non-combatants is permissible] - Jihad Watch, June 11, 2005</ref>}}

 '''Verse 2:217'''
-{{Quote|{{Quran|2|217}}|To turn men away from Allah, and to disbelieve in Him ...is a greater with Allah; for Al-Fitna/Disbelief/ Treason is worse than killing }}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|2|217}}|They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.}}
 '''Explanation of verse 2:217'''
-{{Quote|1=[http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=2&tid=5008 Shirk is worse than Killing]<BR>Tafsir Ibn Kathir|2=Since Jihad involves killing and shedding the blood of men, Allah indicated that these men (the non muslims who are killed) are committing disbelief in Allah, associating with Him (in the worship) and hindering from His path, and this is a much greater evil and more disastrous than killing. Abu Malik commented about what Allah said:
+The meaning of fitnah in the Quran is not always clear, though usually indicates a trial, tumult or oppression. In the case of this verse Ibn Kathir indicates that it was sent down to excuse the Muslims for killing a non-combatant one day before the end of the sacred month, and that fitnah here involves an element of oppression.
+{{Quote|1=[http://m.qtafsir.com/Surah-Al-Baqara/The-Nakhlah-Military-Maneuvers--- The Nakhlah Military Maneuvers]<BR>Tafsir of Ibn Kathir for Quran 2:217|2=(...and Al-Fitnah is worse than killing.) means, trying to force the Muslims to revert from their religion and re-embrace Kufr after they had believed, is worse with Allah than killing.'}}
+Verse 2:191 has the same phrase "fitnah is worse than killing" as a response to oppression.
+{{Quote|{{Quran|2|191}}|And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.}}
+Ibn Kathir presents a more aggressive view that fitnah here simply meant shirk.

Abu Malik commented about what Allah said:
 (And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing.) Meaning what you (disbelievers) are committing is much worse than killing.'' Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas said that what Allah said:
