Why would you side with a thief and a liar who made a treaty with "pagans"?
Farid Wrote:
I dont know who you are talking about, but Muhammad(pbuh) made a treaty so peace may prevail, and so he can call others to Islam.

Dr. M. Khan the translator of Sahih Bukhari and the Quran into English writes:
"Allah revealed in Sura Bara'at the order to discard (all) obligations (covenants, etc), and commanded the Muslims to fight against all the Pagans as well as against the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) if they do not embrace Islam, till they pay the Jizia (a tax levied on the Jews and Christians) with willing submission and feel themselves subdued (as it is revealed in 9:29). So the Muslims were not permitted to abandon "the fighting" against them (Pagans, Jews and Christians) and to reconcile with them and to suspend hostilities against them for an unlimited period while they are strong and have the ability to fight against them. So at first "the fighting" was forbidden, then it was permitted, and after that it was made obligatory " [Introduction to English translation of Sahih Bukhari, p.xxiv.]

The Quraish were Muhammad's fellow Arabs and if they broke a treaty why attack the Jews or why attack the Jews who were not party to a treaty Muhammad made with Arabs?
Farid Wrote:
The reason they were ordered to this, is because the Quraish broke it first, so Muhammad(pbuh) was ordered to not make another treaty with them.

He didnt, the Quraish broke it, so Muhammad(pbuh) took over Mecca just as it was prophecised.
And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.
Deuteronomy 33:2

If you knew, how the Jews were behaving towards Muhammad(pbuh) then you would understand why he had to do what he did, the Jews always plotted against him, always tried to assassinate him, the Jews sided with the hypocrite Muslims, hence even hypocrite Muslims were against Muhammad(pbuh), so was the Jews, so was the Quraish, he was surrounded, it is a miracle Islam is still alive, if it werent for the actions of Muhammad(pbuh), Islam would have been annihilated.
Thank you.
