Question
If I have the option to save ten Muslims or one Christian, what should I do?
Answer
Hello,
There is no difference between a Christian and an Arab in this matter, as neither observes the seven Noahide laws.
Source
See Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 158.
And see there in Shach 16 and Nekudat HaKesef, where they disagree on the law of death for those who observe the seven commandments. Here, there is no difference, as neither observes the seven commandments.
