[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima] However, although they hurt him, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) looked beyond his own wounds and forgave them, replying when asked whether to destroy them‘No, do not destroy them, for I hope that Allah will bring out of their offspring people who worship Him alone without associating any partner with Him in worship." What a beautiful excellent response, look at the humiliy, the control. This is the man's values that we Muslims follow, we follow this beautiful Deen, the legacy oF Rassullulah, and the islamophobes will never be able to extinguish the light of this Deen because it is preserved in the hearts of the believers by Allah Azzawajal.

He wasn't nearly so forgiving when it came to the Banu Qurayza.

This was discussed in the political forum under the thread about the Oklahoma beheading.  The Banu Qurayza broke a treaty and were treated as treasonous.  They submitted to arbitration by a judge they approved, who was a Jewish convert to Islam.  He ordered the punishment according to the Torah.

I have no idea why you keep bringing this ancient incident up as evidence against Islam.  All of this was pretty par for the course at the time.[/quote]

It is being brought up because Islamic State is emulating and citing Muhammad's example in carrying out the atrocities they are committing as we speak.

[quote]Demise of Banu Qurayza
Surrender and execution

After their garrisons were stormed by Ali they had no choice but to comply with Muhammad's judgement. Muhammad ordered that the men should be handcuffed, and this was done under the supervision of Muhammad bin Salamah Al-Ansari while the women and children were isolated in confinement. Thereupon Al-Aws tribe interceded begging Muhammad to be lenient towards them. He suggested that Sa‘d bin Mu‘adh a Muslim convert who was a former ally of the tribe, should decide their fate.[7][8][9][10][25][25]

Muir holds that the Qurayza surrendered on the condition that "their fate was decided by their allies, the Bani Aws" but mentions that Sa'd wanted to get revenge and that he said "Suffer me not to die until my heart hadth had its revenge against them".[37] Stillman also made the same claim, he said: "Sa`d took the hint and condemned the adult males to death and the hapless women and children to slavery." Furthermore, Stillman infers from Abu Lubaba's gesture that Muhammad had decided the fate of the Qurayza even before their surrender.[21]

According to Mubrakpuri, Stillman, Peters and Adil and Muir, when Sa'd arrived, his fellow Aws pleaded for leniency towards the Qurayza and on his request pledged that they would abide by his decision.[14] He then pronounced that "the men should be killed, the property divided, and the women and children taken as captives". Muhammad approved of the ruling, calling it similar to God's judgment.[7][8][9][10][11] Mubarakpuri states that the tribe who reached puberty were beheaded.[1]

Sa'd dismissed the pleas of the Aws, according to Watt because being close to death and concerned with his afterlife, he put what he considered "his duty to God and the Muslim community" before tribal allegiance.[25] Tariq Ramadan argues that Muhammad deviated from his earlier, more lenient treatment of prisoners as this was seen as "as sign of weakness if not madness"[35] and Peterson concurs that the Muslims wanted to deter future treachery by severe punishment.[14]

This is also mentioned in the Sunni hadith collections, stating:

Then the Prophet said, "O Sad! These people have agreed to accept your verdict." Sad said, "I judge that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as captives." The Prophet said, "You have given a judgment similar to Allah's Judgment (or the King's judgment)."Sahih al-Bukhari, 5:58:148[/quote]
