How Mohammed negotiated with the Jews and then destoryed them
after the Battle with the Jewish tribe of Banu Quraizah
After losing the battle of Muta with the Romans, Mohammed returned to
his familiar quarry, the nature-worshipping Quraish and their allies
the Jewish tribes. So after the Battle of the Trench, Mohammed turned
on his favorite enemy the Jewish tribe of Banu Quraizah. He had in
the inception of his claims to being a prophet of some god, has tried
to court favor with the Jews by telling them the had accepted Moses
and Abraham as earlier prophets, he being the last one. He also asked
the Kiblah (direction of prayer) to be in the direction of Jerusalem.
Later when the Jews refused to accept him as a prophet, he changed
this direction from Jerusalem to Mecca (after the conquest of Mecca).
The Treaty of Hudaibiya demonstrates in a very telling way, the evil
genius that Mohammed was. And this character of his has been filtered
down to the last Muslim, who uses it to cheat and trick non-Muslim in
every small thing in day-to-day life. Pervez Musharraf the President
of Pakistan, referred to this Treaty of Hudaibiya (and to the double-
crossing that exists in it), when he announced after 9/11 that he was
making a pact with America to fight the Taliban who then ruled
Afghanistan and whose guest was that horror of all horrors Osama Bin
Laden.

As the Jews kept resisting his claim as a prophet, he decide to
teach them a lesson. He started with the richest of the Jewish tribes
the Banu Quraizah who had earlier promised to help Mohammed if the
Quraish attacked him. But the gave only half hearted help during the
three battles at Badr, Uhud and Trench, so now Mohammed wanted an
excuse for his revenge on the Jews. He declared that they had
violated the terms of their agreement with the Muslims, and were
guilty of high treason they could no longer be allowed to live in
Madina. They were advised that they should lay down arms and migrate
elsewhere. The Jews ridiculed the proposal. So Mohammed besieged
their citadel. The siege lasted for twenty-five days. On the last
day, Ali carried the citadel by assault. All Jews were taken captive.
Mohammed verdict was that all male adults of the Banu Quraizah should
be killed and their women and children should be sold as slaves and
their property distributed among the Muslims. The Jews were then
hacked to death, their heads were sawn off and the heads were piled
before Mohammed .
Lessons from the Battle with the Jewish tribe of Banu Quraizah.
Here Mohammed ruthless and bloodthirsty nature was made evident. He
exulted in the mass murder of the Jews and told his followers that
appropriating the property and the women of the Jews was a legitimate
booty for the Muslims. This was the practice the Muslim carry with
them to this day, and any non-Muslim unfortunate enough to fall into
the hands of the Muslims is beaten to death, as happened with the IDF
soldiers of the Israeli army who were lynched at the beginning of the
second Intifada of the Palestinians. It is today a common practice
for the Muslim to dismember the bodies of the murdered enemies and
carry body parts as souvenirs, dance over the corpses of slain
enemies and distribute candy whenever Muslims kill non-Muslims. This
is what we witnessed in across the Arab world and especially among
the Palestinian on 9/11.
Mohammed 's guile in the Treaty of Hudaibiya
After the battle of the Trench in 5 A.H. (627 C.E.), the Quraish did
not give battle to the murderous band of the first Muslims that
surrounded Mohammed at Medina. So Mohammed decided that it was time
for him to launch a Jihad against the Quriash. He cleverly disguised
this as a Hajj (a pre-Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca) that he wanted to
perform in the season in the year 6 A.H. (628 C.E.). When Mohammed
and his band of one thousand followers arrived at Hudaibiya near
Mecca after taking an out of the way route, so as to evade being
spotted by the Quraish, the Quraish got the shock of their lives.
Mohammed the accursed wanting to storm the holiest of hly site of the
(pre-Muslim) Arabs, on the pretext of Hajj. They sent an emissary
(Urwa ibn Masud, who was the son-in law of Abu Sufyan, the leader of
the Quraish) to him, asking him to desist from entering Mecca. This
emissary went back and reported to the Quraish that Mohammed and his
followers were in a rage and would invade Mecca, if they were not
allowed into the town. e reported that they were fanatically
committed to him, such that they do not let the water in which he
bathes fall on the ground. They collect that water and venerate it.
When he cuts his hair they collect his hair and treasure it (in fact
strands of Mohammed alleged hair are worshipped - one instance is the
Hazratbal Masjid in Indian Administered Kashmir). So the emissary
returned to Mecca with these tidings.
Meanwhile Mohammed sent into Mecca for reconnaissance, one of his
henchmen named Othman to check the defenses of Mecca. Othman also met
the Quraish leaders to negotiate an entry for the Muslims and their
gang leader Mohammed into Mecca , but they adopted delaying tactics.
When Othman took long to come, a rumor got current in the Muslim camp
that Othman had been killed by the Quraish. Thereupon all the Muslims
took the pledge that they would fight against the Quraish to seek
revenge for the murder of Othman. When the Muslims were poised to
take up arms and attack Mecca, Othman returned to the Muslim camp
with Suhail ibn Amr, an eminent citizen of Mecca, whom the Quraish
sent to negotiate a treaty with the Muslims. This was the Treaty of
Hudaibiya.
Here Mohammed 's craftiness comes to the fore. The terms of this
treaty included that if any Muslim from the Quraish clan renounced
Islam and returned to Mecca, then Mohammed would not hold any grudge
against him and not ask for his return, but if any Quraish embraced
Islam and went to medina, Mohammed would immediately return him to
the Quriash at Mecca. Mohammed told Amr and the Quraish, that he
bears no malice towards the Quriash and so he has offered this
clause. The Quriash were taken for a ride in this clause, as they
also believed that because of this clause no Quriash would embrace
Islam, but some of Mohammed 's followers would leave Islam and return
to Mecca. Actually this clause was a clever ruse of Mohammed, to
infiltrate his spies into Mecca, while not allowing any spies from
the Quriash to enter Medina. Over the next two years, many of
Mohammed 's followers pretended to leave Islam and came and settled
in Mecca, thus preparing for the eventual invasion of Mecca that was
to take place in * A.H. (630 C.E.), when on a frivolous pretext,
Mohammed abrogated that treaty and invaded Mecca. The Treaty of
Hudaibiya demonstrates in a very telling way, the evil genius that
Mohammed was. And this character of his has been filtered down to the
last Muslim, who uses it to cheat and trick non-Muslim in every small
thing in day-to-day life. Pervez Musharraf the President of Pakistan,
referred to this Treaty of Hudaibiya (and to the double-crossing that
exists in it), when he announced after 9/11 that he was making a pact
with America to fight the Taliban who then ruled Afghanistan and
whose guest was that horror of all horrors Osama Bin Laden.
Mohammed's pretext to abrogate the treaty of Hudaibiya
After signing the treaty, Mohammed started gathering allies for the
final assault on Mecca. Alarmed at his moves, the Quraish also
started building up their own alliances. In this scenario a tribe
named Banu Bakr allied themselves with the Quraish and another named
Banu Khuza'ah joined the camp of Mohammed. Incited by Mohammed the
Banu Khuza'ah attacked a caravan of the Banu Bakr whereupon the Banu
Bakr attacked the Banu Khuza'ah. This pretext was enough for Mohammed
to send an ultimatum to the Quriash (whose allies were the Banu Bakr)
giving the Quraish three alternatives. The first alternative was that
the Banu Bakr and the Quraish should pay blood money for the victims
of Banu Khuza'ah. The second alternative was that the Quraish should
terminate their alliance with Banu Bakr. The third alternative was
that the treaty of Hudaibiya should be considered to have been
abrogated. In a fit of desperation, the Quraish replied that they
would neither pay blood money, nor terminate their alliance with Banu
Bakr. On this pretext, the wily Mohammed abrogated the Treaty of
Hadaibiya and made preparations for a attack on Mecca.
