I'll find you a second example if you admit that the first example of Muhammed slaughtering POWs is an example of Muhammed slaughtering POWs.
The Banu Nadir were banished into the desert, being allowed only what they could carry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banu_Nadir#Expulsion_from_MedinaNarrated Ibn Muhairiz: I saw Abu Said and asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu Said said,
"We went with Allah's Apostle, in the Ghazwa of Barli Al-Mustaliq
and we captured some of the 'Arabs as captives, and the long separation from our wives was pressing us hard
and we wanted to practice coitus interruptus. We asked Allah's Apostle (whether it was permissible). He said, "It is better for you not to do so. No soul, (that which Allah has) destined to exist, up to the Day of Resurrection, but will definitely come, into existence." (Book #46, Hadith #718)
(3) Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said said,
"We went out with Allah's Apostle for the Ghazwa of [b]Banu Al-Mustaliq
and we received captives[/b] from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us
and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interrupt us, we said, 'How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah's Apostle who is present among us?" We asked (him) about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist." (Book #59, Hadith #459)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: That during the battle with
Bani Al-Mustaliq
they (Muslims) captured some females and intended to have sexual relation with them without impregnating them. So they asked the Prophet about coitus interrupt us. The Prophet said, "It is better that you should not do it, for Allah has written whom He is going to create till the Day of Resurrection." Qaza'a said, "I heard Abu Sa'id saying that the Prophet said, 'No soul is ordained to be created but Allah will create it." (Book #93, Hadith #506)

Some fates are worse than death.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banu_MustaliqRev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Albert Barnes: “With surprising unanimity, commentators have agreed in regarding this to the empire of the Saracens (Muslims), or to the rise and the progress of the religion and the empire set up by Muhammed.”
W.B. Godbey: “This chapter is a thrilling description of the rise and progress of the Mohammedan wars.”
Of the locusts of Revelation 9: Adam Clarke: “certainly agrees better with the Saracens than with any other people or nation” and “agrees very well with the troops of Mohammed.”
Matthew Henry: “the armies of the Mohamedan empire.”
John Wesley: “All this agrees with the slaughter which the Saracens made for a long time after Mahomet’s death.”
