So this forum probably isn't the best place to ask about this, since the Muslim community is so lightly represented here, but I am asking anyway.
I generally see Muslims as peaceful and moral people. Yet, I see one of the core events shortly after the founding of Islam that disturbs me in the way it is portrayed.
The battle of the Trench (Siege of the Banu Qurayza) involves the Muslims coming back to Yathrib (Medina) and defeating the Banu Qurayza tribe. So after the surrender of the tribe, it is said that Muhammad approved the slaughter of over 400 men (beheading) and enslavement of all the women and children, including having at least one of his own slaves.
Does anyone have credible information that proves or disproves this? I don't intend to cause a flame war, but I am unbiased in this and I simply want to know the truth.
