Quote:The rest of them had the opportunity to disown their treachery.
How so?
Quote:They declined. So tough titties- off with their heads.
So their crime was not actually treachery, but "declining to disown" the treachery of other Jews?
Quote:Muhammad learned his lesson when he let the other tribe who attacked him leave in good will - who then recommenced their war with him from their new base.
Sounds like those Jews were ungrateful to Muhammed for letting them live. Luckily Muhammed wasn't fooled by Jewish trickery the next time hey? Of course, this has nothing at all to do with them being Jews.
Quote:There are only so many options for a fledgling and militarily vulnerable 7th century arabian leader desperately trying to stave off annihilation both from within and without.
Of course. Wiping out Jews is perfectly understandable if it is done to establish an Islamic state, right? Especially when they are all guilty of declining to disown treachery.
Quote:What do you think the Banu Qurayza would have done to the muslims if their planned back-stabbing assault on Medina had succeeded?
No idea. I would have wanted Muhammed dead also. Any rational person would have. Having watched as Muhammed took over and the other two powerful Jewish tribes got kicked out of their homes by a crazy man who demands in the market place that the Jews acknowledge him as their prophet or face the same fate, they didn't have many options either. Did you know that the Jews also conspired against Hitler? No wonder he rounded them up.
