Animals slaughtered by Polytheists

Question:

If a person deems as lawful animals slaughtered by a Mushrik, and uses as an argument the Words of Allah:

"Eat, then, the meat of animals upon which the name of Allah is pronounced, if you believe in His Verses".

Answer:

He who has the knowledge should clarify this to him..
