Muhammad Would Never Approve of Murder

“Kill any Jew that falls into your power!”

This was the command that Muhammad gave to his people following the murder of another Jew named Ka’b al-Ashraf.  From the nighttime assassination of Asma bint Marwan (a poet and mother of five) to the Christians killed at Tabuk, this is but one of many examples from the Sira that refute the silly idea that the prophet of Islam never approved of murder.

Following the gory assassination of al-Ashraf, Muhammad wished to assert his dominance in Medina by instilling terror into the hearts of the local Jewish population.  Many of the locals were having second thoughts about  allowing the Muslim immigrants into their community, which seemed particularly unwise in retrospect given that Muhammad had already begun killing and evicting the original residents only eighteen months after arriving.

Muhammad’s solution was to intimidate the local populace, particularly the two surviving Jewish tribes (the Nadir and Qurayza).  Gleeful over the successful assassination of the Nadir leader, al-Ashraf, the prophet of Islam immediately exhorted his men to a random murder spree that would further narrow down the opposition through terror and conversion.

Following Muhammad’s mandate to kill "any Jew that falls into your power," a Muslim follower stabbed his Jewish business partner to death.  The Muslim's brother was initially horrified by the crime, since they were not only on friendly terms with the victim, but the merchant was integral to their own livelihood:

The apostle said, “Kill any Jew that falls into your power.”  Thereupon Muhayyisa lepat upon Ibn Sunayna, a Jewish merchant with whom they had social and business relations, and killed him.  Huwayyisa was not a Muslim at the time, though he was the elder brother.  When Muhayyisa killed [the Jew] Huwayyisa began to beat him, saying, “You enemy of God, did you kill him when much of the fat on your belly comes from his wealth?”  Muhayyisa answered, “Had the one who ordered me to kill him ordered me to kill you I would have cut your head off.”  This was the beginning of Huwayyisa’s acceptance of Islam… [Huwayyisa] replied exclaimed, “By God, a religion which can bring you to this is marvelous!” and he became a Muslim. (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 554)

The unbelieving brother is quite impressed with Islam’s ability to influence a man even to kill his own family on Muhammad's order.  As such, he accepts the “Religion of Peace” on the spot (assuming his conversion was not out of self-preservation).

Becoming a Muslim was, in fact, the only way to ensure that one wasn’t killed by Muhammad’s men at the time.  Murder in Islam is defined as a person killing another member of their own class (see the Law of Equality, Qur’an 2:178).  Whereas a Muslim is prohibited from killing another (true) Muslim, Muhammad found plenty of excuses to kill non-Muslims over non-capital offenses – as this, the murder of Ibn Sunayna the Jewish merchant, proves.
