Try reading your history, Mr. Moderate

I'll be waiting, though I don't expect much from you.

"Tell me where in the world you found this disgusting piece of racist BS. If you are going to say something so horrific and horrible, back it up."

Disgusting? Yes, because it's true. Racist and BS? Hardly. Before I "back it up", I will note that Muslims and their apologists are always "disgusted" by the truth. They put on a hysterical display of being "offended" by these "disgusting accusations". But inevitably, their feigned outrage goes suddenly quiet when they're faced with the unpleasant truth of the matter. Murder, rape, and other atrocities are offensive to Muslims only because their atrocities are being exposed, not because the atrocities are being committed.

Anyway...instead of indulging in ignorance, why don't you get a book about the Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe in Medina that was ordered to be slaughtered by Mohammed in 627 A.D.. Mohammed claimed that the angel Gabriel appeared to him and told him to kill the Banu Qurayza, so he had a trench dug, he lined up the Banu Qurayza, and he ordered their heads chopped off when they refused to convert to Islam. They were buried in that mass grave (600 to 900 people, depending on the source), and Mohammed took their wives and children as his sexual play things.

Or better yet, why don't we talk about the Battle of Khaybar? Mohammed and his fellow murderous barbarians attacked Khaybar and when he won the battle demanded more than half the city's annual produce in tribute, while the land became Mohammed's property. Not satisfied with all that loot, Mohammed insisted that the Banu Nadir tribe were hiding a secret treasure, so he tortured and murdered all the males, then pillaged the village and raped and enslaved the women and children. Read "Women and the Koran: The Status of Women in Islam" by Anwar Hekmat for that account. Again, you can also find many fine online sources.

It would make things a whole lot easier for you if you bothered to do some actual research, or failing that, at least learned how to use Google. Or go to Wikipedia and search for Banu Qurayza or Khaybar. They give a decent outline with references to various authorities on the subject. At least then you'd be lifting yourself from ignorance instead of merely whining and making false and inaccruate accusations of "racism". I am not condemning a race, I am condeming a man and his death cult. And unlike the simpering sheep in our society, I don't fear the word "racist", so don't even waste your breath.

There. I put up. Time for you to shut up.

Oh, and one more thing. Are you going to be as disgusted by the truth of Mohammed's atrocities in Medina and Khaybar as you were by the accusations of his atrocities? Or are you simply going to indulge in anger over the atrocities being exposed?
