Or when Mohammed had the aged poet Abu 'Afak murdered for writing a less-than-complimentary poem.

The laughs continue! (Imagine how popular you'll be)

And then, the murder of Asma bint Marwan in the night with a child at her breast, because she criticized the murder of Abu 'Afak.

They'll be cheering you on for your knowledge of hadith, and welcome you as one of their own!

Patrick, you have some loose screws in your head. But, yes, I'll ask one of my former students about these things. In fact I will read to him what you wrote.

Or was it 900 Jews?

It sounds like Muhammad's Massacre of the Qurayza Jews. "Muhammad claimed that the angel Gabriel came to him and ordered him to attack the Banu Qurayza... Eventually, the Jews could not hold out and they surrendered, probably assuming their non aggressive stand during the battle of the Trench would prevent them from receiving a fate worse than previous cities he had conquered. By the time they realized their peril, it was too late, they were without weapons and their hands were bound behind their backs. Muhammad picked out one of his men to judge their fate: the very same Sa'd Muadh, who had made the previously mentioned death declaration, of which undoubtedly Muhammad was aware. Sa'd proclaimed that the adult males (any teenage boy who had started puberty) were to be beheaded, and, the woman and children enslaved. Thus Muhammad massacred 800 prisoners of war and enslaved their women and children." The demise of the Qurayza Jews is only one chapter in the larger tale of how the people of Yathrib (now Medina) made the mistake of welcoming Mohamed and his followers, who then took over. Today, Jews aren't even allowed in Medina anymore, it's for Muslims only.

Here is more about Aisha (age 9 at consummation of her marriage to Mohamed) and Safiya.

FP, for the sake of your career and/or your own personal safety, you shouldn't. Joking about their magic carpet makes them think you are ignorant, and they tolerate that.

However, deception is a very important teaching in the Quran. They are not allowed to accept you as their real friend, but they are required to deceive you. In fact, Allah himself is often described in the Quran as "the greatest of all deceivers" or "schemer".
