Alert #104
Another Magazine Attacks Prophet Muhammad
(WASHINGTON, DC - 7/1/96) - An article in the latest issue (July 8) of The
New Republic magazine defames the Prophet Muhammad by claiming he violated
the Treaty of Hudaybiah. In that article, the writer, Yehoshua Porath,
Professor of Middle Eastern History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
states: "...Arafat repeatedly equated the Oslo agreement with the Khudaybiya
(sic) agreement, which the prophet Muhammad concluded during his wars with
the Quraysh tribe. Muhammad broke the agreement eighteen months after its
conclusion, when the balance of power changed in his favor, and it has
become a guiding precedent in Islamic law for how to deal with non-Muslim
powers." (July 8, 1996, p. 9)
"This is a bold-faced lie that is obviously part of a campaign to falsify
history and to serve the political interests of a foreign government. This
campaign will not succeed if Muslims take the time to respond to each and
every false allegation," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad.
As CAIR reported recently when another magazine editor made a similar claim,
the Prophet Muhammad never broke any agreement. In that instance, U.S. News
& World Report (June 24) had to retract its accusation of deceit on the part
of the Prophet. They said, "...We deeply regret any ambiguity in the
language...it was the Meccans, not the prophet Muhammad, who broke the peace
of Hudaybiah of 628."
The following is an outline of the events surrounding the Treaty of
Hudaybiah: 1) The Prophet and his companions were prevented by the pagan
Arabs from performing their pilgrimage to Mecca (Umrah). Instead of
fighting, and despite the willingness of his followers to enforce their
religious rights, the Prophet chose a peaceful settlement. 2) Two years
later, the pagan Arabs broke the treaty by attacking and killing 20 allies
of the Muslims as they slept. 3) Even after this attack, no bloody revenge
was taken against those who broke the treaty. In fact, when the Muslims
finally entered Mecca, amnesty was granted to nearly all former enemies.
