Iran Deal & The Hudaybiyyah Precedent
by Mike Konrad
What President Obama gave us is not a peace, but a treacherous hudna, a deceitful truce. It is hard to believe that no one in the State Department knew this; and even harder to believe that Obama himself, who was educated in a Muslim school in Indonesia, did not know this. This should be ground for impeachment.
So what is a hudna?
Mohammed, after he started preaching Islam, was driven out of his hometown Mecca to Medina. He soon took over Medina, which was originally a Jewish city named Yathrib, and slaughtered the Jewish community. Yathrib’s name derived from Moses’ Midianite father-in-law Jethro. which in Hebrew is Yithro.
The city of Medina … had originally been settled by Jewish tribes from the north, especially the Banu Nadir and Banu Quraiza. … Medina, or, as it was known before Islam, Yathrib, had no form of stable government at all. … as soon as the Arabs had attained unity through the agency of Muhammad they attacked and ultimately eliminated the Jews. – Bernard Lewis, as quoted byEretzisroel.org
It original name, Yathrib, bespeaks of a Hebrew origin.
After taking over Yathrib, now Medina, Mohammed struck south to attack Mecca, to get revenge on those who had driven him out. However, the Meccans were too powerful.
So Mohammed signed a truce, a hudna, for ten years: The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
Mohammed used the time to re-arm; and broke the hudna at the first opportunity, using a minor incident as an excuse to invade an unsuspecting Meccan populace.
Less than two years after making a treaty with the people of Mecca, Muhammad returned with an army and took the city by surprise. - The Myths of Mohammed
That is a hudna. A dishonest ten-year truce, made only to buy time, and broken at the first available opportunity.
And what kind of treaty has Obama signed with Iran? A ten year treaty, which gives the Iranians time to get a nuke, and which has escape clauses allowing the treaty to be broken at the Iranians’ convenience, over minor issues.
