In
verse 7 he makes a pledge to spare the lives of those who still had not believed
in him for a period of four months but not beyond that. In the verse 8 he tries
to justify his treachery by blaming the victims and claiming that they would
have done the same. But do we have any proof that the pagans ever broke their
treaties with Muhammad? None! The history, written by Muslims, only shows that
Muhammad was the one who broke all his treaties and yet in every occasion he
blamed his victims accusing them of "plotting" and
"contemplating" to break the treaties and thus leaving him no option
but to breach his treaties and attack them preemptively.
In
verses 9 and 10 he accuses the pagans of not respecting even kinship. This is
utterly a lie. The pagans loved their own sons and daughters who had fallen prey
to the cult of Muhammad. They did not want to kill them and this was their
vulnerability and weakness. This gave Muhammad extra power who told his
followers that they should shun their own fathers and brothers who do not
believe and even kill them.
Today
this very dynamism is the cause of the weakness of the civilized world. While
the civilized world is unwilling to deal with Muslims harshly and tries to
respect their human rights, Muslims have no such twinges and are ready to kill
any number of non-Muslims with total ease of mind. `
A
good example of that is the Battle of Badr. Abu Sufyan was forewarned of
Muhammad’s plan to attack the caravan under his leadership. He asked for help
from the Quraish. However he managed to escape by rerouting the caravan. When he
reached
Mecca
he learned that the Quraish had already left to confront Muhammad. He sent an
emissary asking them to return. The elders debated and many of them returned.
But spurned by Abul Hakam and weary of Muhammad's constant taunts, some of them
proceeded forward. Before squaring off with the Muslims, again another group of
them, headed by Haakim ibn Hizam, the nephew of Khadija (who supplied food to
Muhammad and his party when shut up with Abu Talib a few years earlier) is
mentioned as urgent in offering this advice: “When we have fought and
spilled the blood of our brethren and our kinsmen," said he
said, “of what use will life be to us any longer? Let us now go back, and
we will be responsible for the blood-money of Amr, killed at
Nakhlah." Amr
was killed by Muhammad’s marauding gang a few months earlier and he was the
first blood spilt in Islam. Abul Hakam goaded the army to advance. “If we
turn back now” he said, “it will surely be imputed to our
cowardice.”
So
you can see that despite the fact that Muslims had killed a Meccan, the Meccans
still did not want to kill the Muslims for these benighted men were their own
sons and brothers and this was really the main cause of their defeat in Badr.
They were hesitant to kill their own kin while Muslims had no such compunction.
In
this battle Haakim ibn Hizam was captured in the battle of Uhud and despite his
previous services to Muhammad was ungratefully slain.
Compare
the attitude of the Meccans to what Muhammad told his followers about how they
should treat their non believing kin. The Quraish, provoked as they were by the
repeated attack of their caravans, and the blood shed at Nakhlah, were yet
staggered by the prospect of the battle, and nearly persuaded by their better
feelings to return to
Mecca
. The Muslims on the other hand, though the aggressors, were hardened by the
memory of former injuries, by the maxim that their faith severed all earthly
ties without the circle of Islam, and by a fierce fanaticism for their
Prophet’s cause.
Waqidi (p.89) states that Muhammad led the Muslims in prayers and after
rising from his genuflexion, called down the curse of Allah upon the Meccans and
prayed: “O Allah! Let not Abu Jahl (Abul Hakam) escape, the Pharaoh of his
people! Lord, let not Zamaa escape; rather let the eyes of his father run sore
for him with weeping, and become blind!" Muhammad’s hate was unrelenting,
and his followers imbibed from him the same inexorable spirit.
A story is told of Abu Hodhaifa, a young Meccan believer who
participated in the battle of Badr and his father was in the rank of the Quraish.
It is said that when Muhammad instructed his followers to spare Abbas, his own
uncle, who was also among the Quraish, Hodhaifa raised his voice, "What?
Are we to slay our fathers, brothers, uncles, etc., and to spare Abbas? No,
verily, but I will slay him if I find him." Upon hearing this impertinent
remark, Omar, in his usual sycophantic gesture of loyalty, unshielded his sword
and looked at the Prophet for his signal to behead the ill-mannered youth at
once. [Waqidi p. 75]
This threat had immediate effect. A dramatic change happened
in the behavior of Hodhaifa and we see him after the battle, a completely
subdued and different person. When he found his father slain and his corpse
being unceremoniously dragged to be dumped into a well, he was overwhelmed and
started crying. “What?” asked Muhammad, “Are you saddened for the death of
your father?” “Not so, O Allah’s Prophet!” responded Hodhaifa, “I do
not doubt the justice of my father's fate; but I knew well his wise and generous
heart, and I had trusted that the Lord would lead him to the faith. But now that
I see him slain, and my hope destroyed! ---- it is for that I grieve." This
time Muhammad was pleased with his response, comforted Abu Hodhaifa, blessed
him; and said, “It is well.” [Waqidi,
p. 106; Sira p. 230; Tabari, p. 294]
The displeasure of Muhammad at Hodhaifa’s irreverence in
defying his word and the swift reaction of Omar threatening to slay him on the
spot, were such powerful stimuli that Hodhaifa immediately changed his demeanor
and a day later he even saw the “justice” in his father’s murder. Once
Hodhaifa lost his father, in whose killing he had conspired by ganging up with
his murderers, then there was no going back for him. He had to justify what he
had done and rationalize the slaying of his father. Coming to his senses and
facing his own guilty conscience would have been painfully mortifying. He had to
continue in the path that he had taken to justify his actions.
As
these historic evidences demonstrate, Muslims were the aggressors not the pagans
and it was Muhammad who told his benighted followers to hate and kill their own
kin and not the other way round. After 9/11 the world was stupefied to see
how unabashedly, Muslims commit crime and blame their victims. This is a sunna
set by their prophet. This is the way the Muslim mind works.
At
the battle of Badr Nadr ibn Harith, the cousin of Muhammad became a prisoner of
war. His captor brought him to Muhammad. The unfortunate prisoner
besought Musab his captor to intercede for him. Musab reminded him that he had
denied the faith and ridiculed Muhammad with his poetries. "Ah!" said
Nadr, "had the Quraish made you a prisoner, they would never have put you
to death!" "Even were it so," Musab scornfully replied, "I
am not as you are; Islam has rent all bonds asunder."
Indeed
Muslims have no feelings towards their own non-Muslim relatives and would even
kill their own non-believing parents and brothers with clarity of conscience and
no compunctions.
The
following verses of the Quran confirm the fact that Muhammad told his followers
to hate even their own fathers and brothers if they do not believe?
“O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your
brothers if they love Infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do
wrong”
9:23
Muhammad
repeatedly instructed his followers not to seek the companionship of the
unbelievers 31:15
and even made his imaginary deity say: “It
is not fitting, for the Prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for
forgiveness for Pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them
that they are companions of the Fire.” 9:113
His
paranoia was so intense that he told his followers
“those who believed but came not into exile,
ye owe no duty of protection to them until they come into exile;” 8.72
and he went as far as telling them that if some of
the believers return renegades “seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case)
take no friends or helpers from their ranks;” 4.89
Continuing
with Sura Bara’at, verses 11and 12 say that only if the unbelievers convert to
Islam they should be taken as brethrens (in faith) but if they decide to
exercise freedom of belief they should be fought and restrained. The verse 13
spews more hate and stirs the believers to be resolute in their enmity to the
unbelievers and the verse 14 makes it clear that the unbelievers should be
fought and punished by the hands of the Muslims. This is the verse that
OBL and other terrorists use to justify their crimes against humanity. This
verse make clear that the punishment for disbelief is no more left to God but
rather it should be meted by the Muslims. This answers all the hypocrite
apologists of Islam who deceitfully try to portray Islam as a religion of peace,
claiming that the terrorists are misinterpreting the Quran.
In
the verses 17 to 19 Muhammad prohibits the pagans to visit or maintain the grand
Mosque of Ka’ba. This is the first time in the history of that temple were
religious apartheid is ordained. For thousands of years, the Meccans had allowed
the followers of all faiths to come to Ka’ba and worship together their own
gods in amity. That changed when Muhammad came to power and inaugurated an era
marked by religious bigotry and hate, which has lasted up to this day.
The
verses 25 and 26 talk about the defeat of the Muslims in Hunain, despite their
great numbers and then their victory the details of this event is in Sira.
