In the clip above famed Muslim scholar Yassir Qadhi makes the argument that Muhammad was dealing with treachery and he had taken the maximum punitive actions against it. Qadhi argues that the prophet was justified in every step and showed as much restraint as necessary, being motivated purely by concerns on statecraft and practicality, not by malice. As he says, it is possible to accuse the prophet of being "harsh" but not with malice towards the Banu Qurayza or the Jews in general, as this would not be "academically valid."
