Click the link I'm on a smart phone and all I can post are links not img's. Here it is yet again, the Byzantine Empire under Justinian circa 555AD:

What makes that map different from the ones I posted....except that mine are more accurate?
I read the portion you quoted.
These are what we in the reality based community call genocide apologism, how did they know they intended to betray them or fight them? The answer is they didn't and there is absolutely 0 I repeat zero actual evidence that they did,...
Haven't you ever heard of the "
Constitution of Medina?" It's was a charter that the Muslim and Jewish tribes had agreed to,...and it was also the worlds first constitution (social contract). The Banu Qurayza broke the contract when they allied with Mohammed's enemies to attack him....
The Banu Qurayza were punished for their betrayal to Mohammed
according to Jewish law....
Deuteronomy 20:12-14 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.
"....A former ally of the Banu Qurayza, an Arab chief named Sa'd ibn Muadh, now a Muslim, was chosen as judge. His fellow chiefs urged him to pardon these former allies, but he refused. In his view, the Banu Qurayza had attacked the new social order and failed to honor their agreement to protect the town. He ruled that all the men should be killed. Muhammad accepted his judgment, and the next day, according to Muslim sources, 700 men of the Banu Qurayza were executed. Although Sa'd judged according to his own views,
his ruling coincides with Deuteronomy 20:12-14.....

furthermore, the undeniable and unequivocal facts are that the Qurayza never attacked Mohammad, never gave aid to his enemies and never harmed or killed a single Muslim but hey way to make excuses for genocide, disgusting!!!
There's more evidence that says they attacked/betrayed Mohammed, than not. NTL, it pales in comparison to the Christian Emperor, Justianian murdering 30,000 Christians in the Hippodrome....

Also, care to name one of these fictional Jewish tribes which existed Mediba following Mohammad's conquest? Thought not.
If you had read the article you wouldn't have had to ask....
"...Yet Muhammad did not confuse the contentiousness of clan relations in the oasis with the religious message of Judaism. Passages in the Qur'an that warn Muslims not to make pacts with the Jews of Arabia emerge from these specific wartime situations. A larger spirit of respect, acceptance, and comradeship prevailed, as recorded in a late chapter of the Qur'an: We sent down the Torah, in which there is guidance and light, by which the Prophets who surrendered to God's will provided judgments for the Jewish people. Also, the rabbis and doctors of the Law (did likewise), according to that portion of God's Book with which they were entrusted, and they became witnesses to it as well…. Whoever does not judge by what God has sent down (including the Torah), they are indeed unbelievers. (5:44) Some individual Medinan Jews, including at least one rabbi, became Muslims. But generally, the Jews of Medina remained true to their faith. Theologically, they could not accept Muhammad as a messenger of God, since, in keeping with Jewish belief, they were waiting for a prophet to emerge from among their own people.
The exiled Banu Nadir and the Banu Qaynuqa removed to the prosperous northern oasis of Khaybar, and later pledged political loyalty to Muhammad. Other Jewish clans honored the pact they had signed and continued to live in peace in Medina long after it became the Muslim capital of Arabia..."
Since Christians blamed Jews for the death of Jesus, the Christian Crusades probably displaced and killed more Jews than Muslims did during the entire reign of the Ottoman Empire.
