Non Muslim testimony against a Muslim in a court

[jello]

Salam alaykum,

I would like to know the judgments with respect to the "worth" of a non-Muslim person's testimony against a Muslim in a court in the Islamic state.

There are a great ammount of things being said about it, so I wanted to know if any reliable information exists on the Fiqh of this matter.

[thydavidcome]

All men are equal.

Hadith:

All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white- except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim, which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefor, do injustice to yourselves.
