Karsh was very accurate when he described Armstrong's narration as travesty of history, I add, and truth too.

His article indicates a very detailed knowledge of true and unbiased Islamic history.

Muhammad declared to his followers before his death: that there should be no religion left in the Arabian Peninsula other than Islam, hence was his hastened genocide against the Jews of Medina and Khaibar.

One more thing Karsh forgot to mention in regard to the genocide of Kouriaza tribe, that Muhammad had ordered a huge mass grave to be dug, and males who had pubic hair be beheaded-I presume that Mis.Armstrong knows that male kids as young as 10 year old have some fine vellus hair on their pubic areas- in front of their family members and clans.

The merciful act of Muhammad continued for more than one day, till his Allah's mercy and compassion was accomplished, by beheading the 800 males of the tribe, although the tribe had begged him to let them mass transfer to a far away place after giving him all their belongings, his altruism deemed that beheading them is more beneficial.

Would Karen Armstrong like to reconstruct the scene of this genocidal barbaric action in her imagination??? Let us do it together:

Given the male /female ratio, we can accurately assume that an equal number of females were there.

The long mass grave is dug.

Males are segregated from their families, hand tied behind their backs.

The males are lead and made kneel down on the edge of the long mass grave, among the wailing and crying of their wives ,sisters, female kids, and male kids with no pubic hair.

Male kids pubic areas are rechecked and a few fine vellus hair were discovered on a couple of them. They are snatched from their mothers and joined with the other males awaiting their barbaric end at the edge of the mass grave.

Would you like to continue the scene Mis Karen??? I do not.

If Karen Armstrong did not know what happened to Kouriaza tribe- while she claims to be a historian-that would be a ctastrophe, and if she knew, the catastrophe is very much greater.
