Islamic history books (Al Maghazy, Ibn Hisham, ...etc) tell that prophet Muhammed punished a whole jewish tribe (Banu Korayza) by killing all its men (700 men) and enslaving all women and children (more than 1000 women and children). He did that to punish them for cooperating with his enemies during his wars.
The books tell also that prophet Muhammed sold many of the enslaved women and children in Najd and Al Sham and he bought more weapns with the revenue. Prophet Muhammed has also selected one of the enslaved women (with the name of Reyhana) to be his concubine (sex slave).
Does selling enslaved people stand with what we have heard about prophet Muhammed that he discouraged slavery?

Frankly my friend, i doubt you've even read the boosk yourself, and just copied it of a bias site.
Muhammed was famous for allowing Women and Children to go free, then killing the men who refused to Convert, just as the Christians did during the time of Charlemagne, the First Holy Roman Emperor.
No moral high ground to either argument fans

Slavery wasn't prevented or banned in Islam but the Islamic laws managed to lessen or mimize slavery...and in that time and until late centuries this action was justifiable..and concubine doesn't mean sex slave in the way you want those people to understand because prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was using slaves as servants and the only concubine that was an exception was Maria who the prophet married her and got his son Ibrahim from her.
And about Banu Kuraiza you know better than me that they repealed their agreament with prophet Muhammad which was to give them peace in front of not cooperating with Quraish against Muslims and by their action the Muslims also don't have to keep the peace with them..it is fair 100%

I don't know of anyone who believes in using Charlemagne, or one of the other Christians of his time who behaved that way, as a model of exactly how to live. On the other hand, people do use Mohammed that way. His crimes are used to justify and even encourage similar crimes today.
Therefore, there is a moral high ground involved here.

very good in twisting information.
Muhammad signed a peace treatment with this jewish tribe. what happend that this jewish tribe has stabed Muhammad on his back, and went to all the Arab pagans tribe to gather as much troops as possible against Muhammad. the idea is to jump on Muhammad and his followers at once and kill them all. Muhammad knew about it. so here is Muhammad and muslims in the middle and the his enemy are around them. muslims thought they will be dead no chance. to make story short. Muhammad won this war. so the first tribe that he went to is this jewish tribe. Muhammad didn't know what do with them, so he hire a leader, and the leader commands to slaught 700 of its soldiers and the women and childern cannot be killed. they were being taking care by muslims family, they let them join their food and their way of life. and there is certain laws in Islam regarding the captive of war, and it's not like sex slave as yourself mention.
the Reyhana who converted to Islam later was treated kindly in the house of the prophet Muhammad (P). and muhammad forbid muslims from calling them slaves, but either my boy or my girl, and he command muslims to feed them from what they eat, and dress them from what they wear.
and if you are so exciting about finding some negative things about Islam. i dare you to show some positive things about Islam. you will never do it. because ur main focus is to show Islam as negative as possible.

If you take a peek into the Old Testament you will see god told Joshua to "kill every living thing" when they conquered the holy land. Men, women, childrren, animals.
By those standards, Mo is a wimp

The truth shall set you free!
I believe that Muhammad is a false Prophet because I can not imagine a God that would follow a perfect example of Love, Peace, and Forgiveness (Jesus) with one that lived the way Muhammad did.
Be wary of false Prophets!
Peace!
