Ibn Taymiyyah
He also issued a "fatwa" to reduce to rubble Christian Churchs in Cairo. An example of Ibn Taymiyyah use of his interpretation was in defense of the (temporary) closing of all Christian churches in 1299 in the Mamluk Sultanate. The closing was in violation of a 600-year-old covenant with Christian "dhimmis" known as the Pact of Umar. But as Ibn Taymiyyah pointed out, while venerable, the pact was written 60 years or so after the time of the companions and so had no legal effect. Ibn Taymiyyah also suggested that Jews and Christians should be confined to their own specific regions.
