Quote:My views are not unconscionable to any reasonable person. It would be justifiable to execute traitors who broke a treaty in an effort to commit genocide against the people you pledged loyalty too.
All 800 of them? Because they are all treacherous by default, on account of them belonging to a mindless collective of treacherous Jews? Please, go ahead and find me a reasonable person who agrees with this.
Quote:Well you won't find it with that attitude.
The first I recall seeing it is in this thread. Can you show me where you said it previously? Why do you say that the collective was punished if it never happened?
Quote:Try again FD. I'll help you out by highlighting the factually incorrect part.
If you have an alternative interpretation of the article, please share. Is it based on that article you posted that insisted it must be a lie because a Jew said it was true?
I do recall you claiming that two of them got away by 'disowning' their treachery, but you would not elaborate for some reason. Why is that?
If you do not believe it, why do you feel the need to justify it by saying they were a mindless collective of treacherous Jews?
Quote:What rubbish. I never said anything of the sort. I said the Banu Qurayza were teacherous
What about the other two large tribes of Medina Jews. Also treacherous? And what about the Meccan Jews? How did they fare?
Quote:while going to great pains to omit their ethnicity/religion
Yes it is important not to mention that they are Jewish while chopping their heads off. It might upset them. You also went to great pains to not mention that their Jewishness was cited as a reason for executing them.
Quote:So he presumably prefers I said what he wishes so badly that I said - that they were "treacherous jews"
Were they Gandalf? You still have not produced a rational explanation for how they can be both treacherous and Jewish without being treacherous Jews. Have you ever seen a Venn diagram? Is there some alternative Islamic version of logic that I am unaware of?
Quote:But facts are facts - they broke a treaty, and committed treachery by conspiring with the enemy that was at the time laying siege to their city. Revealing that they just happened to be jewish doesn't magically make them not break a treaty and conspiring with their sworn enemy.
But it was a reason given for executing them wasn't it Gandalf? Or will you flip back to saying it never happened anyway?
