Is it permissible to kill Non-Muslims?

Is it ok for a Muslim to kill a christian or a jew just because they are not Muslims?

Dear Brother / Sister,

That is even out of question. Nobody has the right to kill non-Muslims. Harming a non Muslim without a lawful reason is even deemed as violating the rights of a servant of Allah.

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him, said: “Whoever harms a non-Muslim citizen, I will be his enemy on the Day of Resurrection.”

The Prophet's that way of acting towards non-Muslims actually explains the whole issue.
