Is it true that prophet Muhammed killed a whole tribe of Jews?

Question

Can anyone tell me if it is true that Prophet Muhamed killed all the men in a Jewish tribe with the name (Banu Koraiza)? I heard he killed all the men (approximately 600 - 900 men) and took all their women and children as slaves, and he even sold them later in slavery market to buy more weapons.

I asked some Muslims and they said he was punishing them for betraying him in war, but my question is:

Should the punishment be only for people who were really involved in the plot, or for the whole tribe?

Did ALL the men participate in the plot?

Did the women and children also participate in the plot?

Does this mean when Muslims attacked WTC in Sept. 11, Americans were supposed to kill all Muslims in USA?

Answer 1

yes that's right it did happen and it was a punishment for the traitors.

and YES the 600 men who were executed have participated in this plot and there families were taken into slavery---this is according to THEIR OWN JEWISH LAW too.

the rest of the Banu Quriza tribe were left alone.

oh! and to answer your last question--"Does this mean when Muslims attacked WTC in Sept. 11, Americans were supposed to kill all Muslims in USA?"
let's see, first of all American Muslims did not plot 9/11 nor did they aided the terrorists. from the investigations done on the 9/11 event we can clearly see that the terrorists were supported and protected by the CIA.
secondly, Banu Quriza lived in Madinah and signed a treaty with the Muslims that any attack on Madinah all Muslims and Non Muslims would help each others and defend the city against attackers. they didnt do that instead they broke their covenant with the Muslims and helped the attackers.

thirdly we can see that the US army bombed Afghanistan with no regard for innocents who are not incolved with Al Qaida.

so the two events are not even comparable.

Answer 2

The rumors that Bani Quraytha wanted to betray him were his only excuse, that and an order sent from Allah via Jibreel (Gabriel). He went to them, put them under siege for 14 days. Finally they surrendered. So Mohammed killed all their men, enslaved their women and children

Traitors or Betrayed?

Now it all comes down to this; are the Bani Quraytha Jews traitors or were they betrayed?

First of all, how do we know if a treaty is broken? We cannot simply assume that a treaty is broken because of mere rumors [Quran Surah 49:12]. We can only assume that a treaty is broken if:-
1. The other side officially renounces the treaty
2. The other side does an action which is a direct violation of the treaty

Does any one of the former apply to the Bani Quraytha Jews?

There is not a single Hadeeth which indicates that Bani Quraytha either officially (or even unofficially) renounced the treaty

As a matter of fact, the only Hadeeth found regarding Bani Quraytha's position was one Hadeeth [Musnad Ahmad - 22823] which says that Bani Quraytha actually refused to assist the Pagan Arabs in any way in their assault against Mohammed.

This is sure no reason to kill all these men. And not worthy of a messenger of God.

Answer 3

it incredibly is written in Sunan Abu-Dawud e book 38, type 4390 Eyewitness-checklist Trenches have been dug in the bazaar of Madinah and countless Jews between six and 9 hundred have been beheaded therein. Huyai, Ibn Akhtab, the supervisor of the Bani Nadeer and Safiyah’s father replaced into captured in this siege and delivered to the Prophet together with his hands tied to his neck with a rope. In an audacious defiance he rejected Muhammad and favourite to be beheaded than submitting to his faith by employing rigidity. He replaced into ordered to sit down down and replaced into beheaded instantaneous. to split adult men from the boys, the childrens have been examined and if that they had grown any pubic hair, it replaced into adequate to behead them. Sunan Abu-Dawud e book 38, type 4390 Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi: i replaced into between the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the companions) examined us, and people who had started to strengthen hair (pubes) have been killed, and people who had no longer weren't killed. i replaced into between people who had no longer grown hair. The Muslims historians have been rapid to convey an analogous baseless alibis to justify their raids against their sufferers like, they have been "mischievous", inflicting "sedition" or being "treacherous" and "harboring against Islam". even nonetheless no specifics exists as of the character of those sins to warrant one in each and every of those sever punishment and their entire genocide.

If they were fighting against him, and allied with the Quraish. We were not there so we cannot say, but he would not have slayed innocents.
