Missionaries and other critics often repeat the baseless โ€˜claimโ€™ of โ€˜atrocitiesโ€™ committed by Muhammad (p) against Quraysh, glossing over the fact that these incidents they injudiciously referred to as โ€œatrocitiesโ€ were nothing but just responses to the attacks initiated by the Quraysh, and continued even when the Muslims fled to Medina, fleeing persecution.

For instance, someย try to justify Muhammad (p) and his followers being persecuted, tortured, and killed just for expressing their beliefs in Mecca! They claim that what the Quraysh were doing to Muhammad (p) and the Muslims then was a direct result of Muhammadโ€™s (p) preaching against their polytheism, and idolatry.

So they try to justify thirteen years of persecution and torture by blaming Muhammad (p) for preaching Monotheism; that the Muslims deserved what they got for exercising their right of free speech, their right to express their conscience.

This is the sick mind of some who try to justify crimes committed against a minority. I guess freedom of speech is not applicable to Muslims!

It is our intention, in a number of articles in the pipeline, to deal with the claims that the Muslims were not the ones who started hostilities against the Quraysh, to show that the claim is not supported by the earliest Islamic sources. In this very article,

We will see that the evidence shows that it was the Quraysh who started physically attacking the Muslims, making them flee from their birth-place Makkah to Madinah, to escape the persecution and still followed them down to Medina to exterminate them just for their beliefs.

Our primary interest in these articles will be when the Prophet (p) and his followers arrived in Medina, fleeing persecution. What happened when they arrived in Medina? Did the Muslims start a war against Quraysh as soon as they arrived in Madina? Or was it the other way around?
