Why did Muhammad committ genocide on the jews of Bani Quraiza?
362356
ISLAMIC MASSACRE OF BAI QURAIZA: Then they surrendered, and the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banu_Qurayza\n\nThe response above is odd, Muslims often try to cover up the nasty parts of their religion usually wont deny real parts of their religion as it is blasphemous.

LOL! first of all Quran was written by a person who lived 1400 years ago!! this religion was to be spread by force and harshness, therefore their technique was to kill in the worse possible way to fear people and let no space for disagreement, and still , Muslim people are killin each other (Sonia and Shea's) because they cant kill anybody else, anyway , Islam might have been a good religion but it was good for Arab people living 1400 years ago in such a shit place!! women should have been hidden and people should have been killed or forced to follow rules but for today , am sorry its not worth a shit!!!!

A prophet is a important person, no one should disrespect Mohammad, Jesus or Moses. But an event in history is different. A historian says that according to the research that I have done, Hitler couldn't have killed 6 million jews in gas chambers (and he never says Hitler was a good guy or that he didn't kill anyone!) And then he has to go to jail because of his research. Doesn't that remind you of Galileo's story....?!

Islam condemns all the violence which happened in the Crusades, in Spain, in WW II, or by acts of people like the Rev. Jim Jones, David Koresh, Dr. Baruch Goldstein, or the atrocities committed in Bosniaby the Christian Serbs. Anyone who is doing violence is not practicing his religion at that time. However, sometimes violence is a human response of oppressed people as it happens in Palestine. Although this is wrong, they think of this as a way to get attention. There is a lot of terrorism and violence in areas where there is no Muslim presence. For example, in Ireland, South Africa, Latin America, and Sri Lanka. Sometimes the violence is due to a struggle between those who have with those who do not have, or between those who are oppressed with those who are oppressors. We need to find out why people become terrorists. Unfortunately, the Palestinians who are doing violence are called terrorists, but not the armed Israeli settlers when they do the same sometimes even against their own people. As it turned out to be in the Oklahoma City bombing, sometime Muslims are prematurely blamed even if the terrorism is committed by non-Muslims. Sometimes those who want Peace and those who oppose Peace can be of the same religion. \n\nLastly I would like to quote from the Holy Quran\n\n[Chapter 5, verse 32], that "anyone who saves one life, it is as if he has saved the whole of mankind and anyone who has killed another person (except in lieu of murder or mischief on earth) it is as if he has killed the whole of mankind." \n\nIf you have any question please e-mail me at askmuslims1@yahoo.com or visit my site http://askmuslims.com and learn the basics of Islam.

Sura.5:51 disdains the Jews. Mohammed said, “The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721, 810-11, 1130).\n\nIslam divides the world into dar al-Islam (the house of peace) and dar al-Harb (the house of war). To bring "peace," Allah commands, "I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads! (8:13); Slay the idolaters wherever you find them...(9:5); O Prophet, struggle with the unbelievers and hypocrites and be thou harsh with them...(9:73); Believers, make war on the infidels that dwell around you..." (9:123). Perpetual jihad is commanded until all the world is under sharia. Nor would that bring peace, because Muslims fight among themselves, as history testifies.\n\nI see  Poki Poki, says:  "Show me a verse that tells muslims to lie".\n\nWhen allah casts terrors in their hearts of nonmuslim, what is this?  Terror is what?  LIES.\n\n.

Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God has said: { God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers } (Quran, 60:8)\n\nThe Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children, and he would advise them: "...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child" And he also said: "Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise.." \n\nAlso, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire. \n\nHe once listed murder as the second of the major sins, and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, "The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed" \n\nMuslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: "A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth" \n\nHe also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” \nHe said: "There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human" \n\nAdditionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: "When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal" \n\nIn light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

NO!!! HE would never wanted this from  HIS followers. These actions taken by the muslims are pure proof of foolishness and stupidity. These actions are only taken to tell the west that they can still beat the hell out of you and u should never underestimate the muslims. I'm a muslim. I like a normal human being hate what they are doing. The protest is fine and there should be, but destroying buildings and killing people is really fucking stupid or insane. Prophet Muhammad would wanted it to be settle down peacefully, not like asshole animals. U have all the rights for your question. This is why people like you get the wrong message of Islam. But i think you are not interested in that. I hope it helped u out. c ya.

Hey man I can't understand why could a person who claims that he is a muslim to hope the hell for others who are sharing the same relegion with him!!!!\nWell I'd to confirm that the true muslim will never call for destroying others...\nIslam is a relegion of peace which ask its follower to respect all people whatever their relegions,languages, gender...etc\nOn the other hand, if u r really a muslim, u must heard about the hadees of Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) which says that Allah (God) prefer to damage the Ka'ba(the holy mosque in Mecca)in stead of killing a muslim... \nSo I can't understand how u could hope murder for all arabs while they are muslim like u????

Jesus, innocent of all sin, allowed Himself to be killed for love of us all, including His enemies. \nMuslim terrorists deliberately kill themselves at the same time as murdering other people, out of pure hatred for anyone who doesn't agree with their twisted beliefs.

No way to know for sure, but a sound theory is that Mohammed was a failed convert to Judaism. By forming Islam, it was his revenge at the Jews for not accepting him.

Yes, Muslims believe that it was Ishmael that was the one to be sacrificed. Abraham's knife, however, did not cut, because God just wanted to test him. As a reward for his outstanding devotion, He granted him Isaac. From Isaac descended all the prophets of the Children of Israel; except for Muhammad PBUH: he was the only prophet that was a descendant of Ishmael. As for the "chosen people" part, we Muslims - to my knowledge - do not believe that we are the chosen people per say, but are mere servants of God, as are all those who worship God alone. If you want the Islamic version of the sacrifice story, you can check my msn space:\nspaces.msn.com/abrahampbuh (under 'Ultimate Sacrifice') and if you want to learn about Islam/stories of our prophets, you can check the list on the right. Hope this has helped. Peace be with you.

Because he is a man of God. Like Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Both Jesus and Muhammad are wise, compassionate and loving people who respect and fear their God and love their fellow man as we all should. Too bad we all haven't caught on. God bless. =)

either muslims have tried to kill jews, or they let them live in muslim occupied lands but under a lower status.. called dhemini status.. with far less rights (almost none at all) compared to the muslims... \nIslam has always been intollerant towards the jews, christianity was, but has since reformed itself.\nwhen mohammad stole medina and mecca by war, (the muslim wars/terrorism, started 1400 years ago with the invention of islam) the jews who lived in the city would not convert, thus mohamad had them killed (yes muslims its in your koran)

the one who sent Judaisms is the same one who sent Christianity and Islam. \n\nMuhammad cannot read or write. Muhammad isn't a superman or a superpower. and this language in the Quran cannot come from any humans. \n\nGod words collected in a book called Quran\nMuhammad words collected in a book called Hadith.\nif you compare the Quran with the Hadith, you will find alot of difference. \n\nabout the word Allah. if you open the Christan Arabic Bible you will also find the word Allah. the christian Arabic Bible mentioned the word Allah maybe more than the Quran.\n\nYour God and our God is only one and we are the muslims (submit and surrounder to God alone)\n\nand God challenged anyone to come up with a book like this. you wouldn't be able to do it, and you will never do it . Read:\nQuran ch2\n[23] And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'ân) to Our slave (Muhammad (peace be upon him) then produce a Sûrah (Chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful. \n\n[24] But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

I am not anti-semetic, however Isreal is using the same genocidal tactics against the indigenious people of the area they have conquested, that were employed upon them by the Nazi's in WWII. The Jewish state had not been in existance for 2,000 years, then one day they arrive in force and begin seizing land and killing off the people of the land. They should be included in the axis of terror, however becasue of the Judeao-Christian influence in America they are considered to be full filling the biblical phrophecy. I reject the Bible as does monst of the world as a work of historical fiction with over tomes of a superior race. What they are doing is racism,, it can not be excused.
