Quote:A reference to Watt saying he believed they had a treaty
What reference? This is what you have presented so far Gandalf:
They seem to have had a treaty with Muhammad, but it is not clear whether they were expected...
Watt also rejects the existence of such a special agreement but notes that the Jews were bound by the aforementioned general agreement Gandalf can you imagine the Jews signing up for a treaty that permits Muhammed to demand they acknowledge him as their prophet and threaten them with violence if they don't?

Nope.
They were all given the opportunity to disown the betrayal and repledge their loyalty to their city.
What is this about Gandalf? More lies from Muslims to excuse genocide?

The rest of them had the opportunity to disown their treachery. They declined. So tough titties- off with their heads.
What form did this opportunity take Gandalf?
Oh look a previous example of Gandalf dodging this point:

Can you quote the relevant bit, or does it only make sense if I read the whole biography?
nah that would require me going to the trouble of finding it and then finding the relevant part. You are just as capable as me of doing that FD. Its also in the Sealed Nectar - but I recall you poo-pooing that as a source last time I mentioned it.
Its really up to you FD - you can believe me or not - and if not its up to you if you want to go through the source yourself.
Good luck!
If I google this Gandalf: Ibn Ishaq biography banu qurayza disown their treachery
I get this forum and your claims coming up on the first page of results, but nothing else to back it up.

To be POWs, the Qurayza would had to have openly renegged on the treaty they had with Muhammad, and declared their sessession from the Medinan state they were then part of.

They obviously could not be trusted to remain under the treaty of Medina, or be left free to leave and join forces with the enemy like the Banu Nadir. So off with your heads traitors. Boo hoo.
Gandalf, would it be fair to describe this as a Muslim lying about whether the tribe was bound by the treaty of Medina? Why do Muslims lie about this so consistently?

The Banu Qurayza men who were executed were not a small number of perpetrators in amongst a majority of innocents - they all picked up arms against the muslims - in violation of their treaty.
Gandalf how do you know they all "picked up arms"?
