Melco, most or all of your questions have been amply answered by Brs Ahmad Joyia & Shams Zaman, and also Angela and Servetus, but as your intention on this site ISLAMICITY is not to learn about Islam but to ridicule and insult the Prophet of Islam, perhaps all our responses will not be read and reflected upon by you. However, for the sake of those who are interested in knowing the truth about Islam here are a few answers to some of the matters you have raised.
Melco wrote: A consensus Muslim account of the massacre of the Qurayza��who soon rendered his concise verdict: the men were to be put to death, the women and children sold into slavery, the spoils to be divided among the Muslims.
Bani Quraiza were a Jewish tribe who after having entered a treaty to fight with Muslims against any invasion of Madina, betrayed at a critical time when the Muslims were under siege. This by any standard is treated as high treason against the state. Subsequently, they ie the traitors made a special request to appoint Sa�d Mu�adh as the decision maker whose ruling was accepted by both parties to be implemented. Sa�d Mu�adh and his Aws tribe were allies of Bani Quraiza. Sa�d Mu�adh�s gave the decision based on the Old Testament or Torah according to the verdict the active fighters must be put to the sword but the women and the children, the cattle and everything else in the city, all its spoils, shall be enjoyed by the enemy � Deuteronomy � XX:10-15. So, this decision was not made by the Prophet of Islam, instead it was based on the Old Testament. For this don�t blame the Prophet of Islam. If execution of traitors is declared to be unlawful then there would be no peace in the world.
It is ridiculous to compare this with the massacre of innocent Muslims by the Serbs. The Muslims in Bosnia did not commit any treason nor were they traitors, it was the same kind of poison that many hardline Christians have shown throughout history towards Muslims as well as others for eg the Crusades, the Conquistadors in South America, Ireland etc.

Are you referring to people with Christian names? For your kind information many Churches have been sold because of lack of attendance and have been turned into Mosques. Most people with Christian names are either atheists (because trinity makes no sense to them) or have already converted to Islam but have not changed their names. The local message is ISLAM which is spreading universally, how much ever you may detest it. People who are sincerely seeking God�s guidance are guided to the truth of Islam � submission to the ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD � NOT SON, NOT HOLY GHOST! For those in the quest for the truth ISLAM makes complete sense.
Now I have a question for you. In Deuteronomy, Chapter 18, verse 18 it reads (translation):
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Can you explain what this means and who this person is?
