* Yes it is an honor for a woman to marry the Prophet of God. Because you insist on rejecting the fact he is the Prophet, you say it is not an honor. It is. To prove he is not the Prophet: Please in the Qur'an, there is a challenge for the whole Humanity to make a book like the Qur'an. If you can do it ( Nobody did that or claimed he can). If you cannot, then he is the Prophet of God and it is an honor for any woman to marry him. There are 1.8 Billion Muslims now. Are you smart and they are DUMB? Nope. They are not DUMB and you need to ask yourself how did this faith won and still winning. How come Mohammad's enemies joined Islam?
It is a fact that women after the battle become homeless. Safia, the wife of the Prophet said that after listening to Prophet Mohammad he became the best human in her eyes and before that there were no man to hate as she did hate him.

* God ordered the Prophet to kill the 900. This is a claim. let us ask the people who lived in that time: How did they judge the Prophet: They said he is the most honest man ever. They said he never lie once. The fighters of Banu Korayza at that time were fighting Islam. If God sends a Prophet and some people fight him, what should be the penalty? What did Moses do to his enemies? read the Bible. What did David do to the enemy: he killed them. Why? Because they were fighting the messenger of God. It is a fact: You are able to fight the Prophets of God but God then will support his messenger and you pay the price. Why do you fight the Prophet of God in the first Place? Think: Mohammad was one man and he lived 13 years under pressure in Mecca. How come he won the people of Mediana then more and more joined him? How come he has now 1.8 Billions? Judging Muhammad is over since the people who lived with him cannot be DUMB. they judge him and ou cannot since you never saw him. In the first place you are not a Muslim and so you think he is an imposter. This drives you not to see what the people in Arabia saw 1400 years ago. Prophet Muhammad was not raiding anyone. he was following God's orders in the Qur'an. With God's support he did win against much more numbers of enemies with better weapons and men. The Gezia is ordered by God in the Qur'an. God wanted the Muslims to impose it on the Non Muslims as he ordered Muslims to pay Zakat. So never say Mohammad ever imposed Gezia. Islam in return was responsible to protect these people.

* Khayber was not asked to pay gezia. Khayber was asked to give 1/2 of its agriculture to the Prophet. This is the penalty imposed by God's messenger for fighting the Prophet of God. It is simple: Fight the Prophets of God and he will side with his small army of believers and you will pay. Understand this. Very simple. Before Prophet Muhammad was 40 years old, he was just an ordinary man. He was not ordered to do anything. he did not. If he is the kind of men to attack and raid then take booty, he would have done earlier when he was 20 or 30. He followed the orders of God one by one. Read the Qur'an and you will find out that the Prophet did exactly what he was ordered to do. The men fighters in Khayber were not killed. Only those who were killed during the battle (90 I think). The women of the Dead had the honor to marry the Prophet and his followers. This is great honor. The ladies loved the Prophet and his followers and followed God's orders and became the mothers of Great Muslims later. Read the History and the Life of the Prophet from the Islamic Sources.

Prophet Mohammad was not the killer of safya's father. Prophet Muhammad killed the enemies of God who decided to fight the messenger of God and his message. they claim they are followers of Moses and they think it is OK to choose whatever prophet you like. Even if you do not like to follow Prophet Mohammad then leave him alone to preach and do not plot and fight him. Those who plotted and fought paid the price and God supported his messaenger and they paid the price of fighting the Prophet of God. If safya's father left the Prophet and his mission alone, he was going to be left alone. If galiouth left david Alone, he was not going to be killed by david. Period. When 17 years old woman marries the prophet of God, this is great honor. He may be 70, true but God makes a man in the gae 60 much better than all the young men on earth. Ask yourself why did safya accepted the marriage? why did she love the Prophet and told the other Jewish women how honest and great is the Prophet of God. You are the one who cry for the woman and she was happy? Read History then talk. the Prophet did not kill the father of Safya: he killed the enemy of God and his messenger! period.

All what i said makes sense as long as the prophet Mohammad was a true prophet and was following the orders of God. If he was not, then prove that and write a Qur'an better than the one in the hands of the Muslims. At that point, you win and I am wrong. There is a historical fact: Nobody in 1400 years did write better book than the Qur'an. If you know one, let me know. If it is there, send it to a satilite station to attract the Muslims and make them give up their Qur'an to yours. If you fail: Admit: islam is true. Prophet Muhammad is God's messenger. I will congratulate you then that you became a Muslim.
