Mohammed was dead serious about wiping out all religions that disagreed with his. When he was still living in Mecca, the Meccans grew fearful of his growing strength and offered him a deal. “That he will leave us alone and we will leave him alone, that he will leave us to practice our religion and we shall leave him to practice his.” Mohammed turned this offer down cold and countered it with a blunt demand: “that you witness with me that there is no God but God and repudiate all that you worship besides Him.” Muhammad H.

"I got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet had given me a she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended to marry Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle, I had an appointment with a goldsmith from the tribe of Bani Qainuqa' to go with me"

, eighteenth printing, 2004: p. 363. Muhammad Haykal tries to give more solid justifications for Mohammed’s war against the Banu Qaynuqa. The Jews, he said, played a trick on a desert woman when she came to them to remodel her jewelry. The Jews pinned the trailing edge of her robe to the wall. When she stood up and began to walk, her robe unraveled and left her naked. The Jews laughed, says Haykal, and the woman cried. “Seeing what happened, a Moslem passerby jumped upon the shopkeeper and killed him on the spot.” When the Jews killed the Moslem, Mohammed showed up on the scene threatening to trounce the Jews way he’d beaten the Meccans at the Battle of Badr, the Jews shouted their own words at Mohammed, “O Mumammad,” they said, “Do not fall under the illusion that you are invincible.” Says Haykal, “After this little option was left to the Muslims but to fight the Jews.” Muhammad H.

Mohammed was given a convenient excuse for warfare now and in the future by the angel Gabriel, who appeared to Mohammed after the Jews had refused to switch religions. Said Allah through Gabriel, “If thou [even] fearest treachery from any folk, the throw back to them their treaty fairly.” In other words, if you have the slightest suspicion that others may oppose you in word or deed, it’s legitimate to break any treaty you hav with them…and to attack them. “The messenger of God said, ‘I fear the Quaynuqa.’” And that was it. Says al-Tabari, “It was on the basis of this verse,” on the basis of this conversation with Gabriel, “that the Messenger of God advanced on” the Banu Qaynuqa. al-Tabari.
