The 3rd response of post #17 tells you exactly why. You either missed it, or have the following syndrome:

cuz they come in handy when arguing about 7th century history. Certain events are purely historical, while others have a bearing on contemporary religious practice. This event has no bearing on anything other then what occurred in in the 7th century (for it was within normality during the...

I guess you're conceding then, since you didn't actually respond to the argument.

Not working. Maybe its just me, but when I click that corner arrow after selecting the post, there's no "delete" option. If you can, please delete it. Thanks

Before you go, try actually winning an argument.

That ruling had nothing to do with Islam itself, or the Quran. It was a ruling to deal with a 7th century problem by a 7th century leader. You should take things in their proper context. using the "bold" option doesn't actually improve your reasoning... So you might not want to repeat a point...

err... yea, it matters. (duh!) when you critique a punishment, it's probably a good idea to look at the crime. According to 7th century standards? Completely.

Muir holds that the Qurayza surrendered on the condition that "their fate was decided by their allies, the Bani Aws".(Sources: [48][54]) In all accounts, the appointed arbitrator was Sa'd ibn Mua'dh, a leading man among the Aws. The Banu Q chose them to arbitrate in the hope that they would...

My mistake. The dude had already converted by that time. And this appointment was agreed to by the Banu Q. That the arbitrator that they themselves agreed to, pronounced the judgment. Did you read what the Banu Q. actually did? Do you realize their betrayal almost made an end of -all- early...

No there are a lot of contradictions between the Quran and Hadith. You really love this fallacy don't you? Argument from authority - Wikipedia Good question, glad you brought it up. The answer is in the distinction between: Societal Laws vs. God's Laws. 2:256 is clearly talking about the...

Apparently, waleed doesn't actually know why the Banu Qurayza were being executed, and who made the judgement to execute them, as is clear from this thread. p.s. the only infallible source is the Quran. All ahadith have to be checked with the Quran and if they contradict it, then they should be...

Banu Qurayza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia there's a lot of sources in this article. The Jews chose the leader of their allied tribe (who according to shia sources was also Jewish) to arbitrate. What makes you think the people who were beheaded were innocent? do you even know what...

that wahhabbi dude posted some link on my profile that i can't get off isn't there a way to delete these messages?

u sound upset... me thinks someone needs a kitkat ; ) Actually, to deny they were atheists, is "factually inaccurate," despite the desperate attempts to the contrary. No they died in the name of power, land, wealth, etc. why thank U kind sir :)

"... there is no compulsion in religion." 256 Al-Baqara The matter ends here, period. I don't care what convoluted argument, using what hadith or "scholar" you come up with.

They didn't go there to stamp out heresy. They went there with that excuse, to loot and pillage. Who the hell gave the wahhabbis any authority to do anything in Karballah? You think any Muslim can get up, take a sword, and just kill anyone who he sees committing shirk? Again, he was the...

Are you aware that punishment was suggested by a Jewish leader of their own tribe (the only one who honored the non-aggression pact with the Muslims)? .... a whole lotta potatoes, but no meat (as usual...) Everything you've stated has already been refuted on this very forum, many a time...

Look at the lengths you will go to defend these lunatics. How many more verses will you need to take out of context? this verse does not deal with war. it deals with the history of the Jews, not what is allowed to Muslims the purpose for which you are trying to use this verse contradicts all...

"infidel" is a 15th century Christian word. how many Muslim communities have you gone to? as if the "lost soul" outlook is completely absent in Christians?

:) apparently, theres a computer and the interent in my hotel!! w00t Which hadith is this, exactly? What raids, where and how many civillians were killed? I already provided the book and page number. It is by a well known historian and his work is respected. If one or two civillians die as...
