Assalaam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
How we are supposed to feel if non-muslims are being killed and why? For example how Hitler killed many jews.
Jazakumullahu khayran.
wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
If non-Muslims are killed, we should feel saddness and empathy, we should send our condolences to their families as is normal in grieving. Muslims are not cold-hearted isolationists. Islam teaches us to be kind and compassionate to non-Muslims.
Ibn Abu Laila reported: Sahl ibn Hunaif and Qais ibn Sa’d ibn Ubaidah were in Al-Qadisiyyah when a funeral passed by them, so they stood up and it was said to them, “It is one of the local people.” They both said: A funeral passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he stood up. It was said to him, “It is a Jew.” So the Prophet said, “
Was he not a soul?”

عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ وَسَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ كَانَا بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِمَا جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّتْ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا

We should care about other human beings! It does not matter whether they are Muslim or not Muslim.
Al-Qurtubi reported: Some scholars gave permission to initiate greetings of peace with the unbelievers. It was said to Sufyan bin Uyainah, “Do you give permission to greet an unbeliever with peace?” Sufyan said, “Yes, for Allah the Exalted said:
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you in religion nor expel you from your homes that you be righteous and fair to them. Verily, Allah loves those who are just.” (60:8) Sufyan added, “Allah said:
There has come to you the best example in Abraham, (60:4) and Abraham said to his father:
Peace be upon you.” (19:47)

قال القرطبي وَجَوَّزَ تَحِيَّةَ الْكَافِرِ وَأَنْ يُبْدَأَ بِهَا قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ هَلْ يَجُوزُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
لَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ وَقَالَ
قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْآيَةَ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ
سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ

Allah commands us to be righteous and just. We stand up against oppression of any soul, whether it is Muslim, Chrisitan or Jewish.
