Banu Qurayza

This has already been explained to you, and at this point you’re just being obtuse and obstinate. The Banu Qurayza had entered into a peace treaty with the Prophet, which they willfully broke when they betrayed the Muslim community. The Taleban are not limiting themselves to killing people who are breaking peace treaties with them.

If you’re referring to the Caravan Raids, those were instituted after the beleaguered, persecuted Muslim minority had fled Mecca and had all of their property seized by the Quraysh. Under those circumstances, the Prophet gave them permission to raid the caravans of the Qureshi leaders who had been active in the persecution of the Muslim community.

In any case, the Battle of the Trench was a Meccan attack on Medina, not vice versa.

Apparently you don’t know what “genocide” is. Genocide is the deliberate massacre of an entire ethnic, religious, racial, or national group. The Banu Qurayza were Arab Jews - the Prophet made no attempt to kill off all Arabs or all Jews. Calling this incident genocide is ridiculous.

Spare me the theatrics.

You dismiss the forced exile of over 1 million Palestinians as “Muslims being put in their place [by Israel]” but you can still “smell the blood” of the Banu Qurayza?

I comdemn all acts of violence regardless of who is involved and where they happen. I condemn with all my heart the atrocities committed by the state of Israel. However, I don’t dismiss one side completely because somehow being a muslim I should only feel sorry for the “muslim victims”. I don’t find that mentality very healthy in the first place. I have looked at it from both points of view. Jews were also victims at a point, just like Palestinians muslims are now. Again, I don’t condone any acts of violence done under any government, religion, organization, etc…

I don’t let my sense of judgment become clouded because of the beliefs I hold (I hold none). Throw away the muslim mask for a minute and look at it both ways. Violence should not be tolerated and the answer is never killing a bunch of innocent bystanders.

My issue with the Banu qurayza massacre is that Muhammad SAW preached that Islam meant peace yet it exhibited no such thing.
