Question
Is saving a gentile on Shabbat considered a Shabbat desecration?
What is the reason?
Answer
Many rabbis wrote about this subject that in principle one is not allowed to save a gentile on Shabbat if it causes a Shabbat desecration.
However in our days, if a Jew Won't save a gentile, The gentile won't save a Jew.
So one can save a gentile in any case.
