There were 3 casualties on the aggressors’ side in the Battle of the Trench. Yathrib stood the siege for quite a couple of weeks during which they (i.e: Mohammed and the crew) lost 6 men ,the faith of which is unknown – we only know that they were protecting their city.
Not much of a battle from a spectacular standpoint, but quite significant for a student of military strategies.
Why, oh why did the inhabitants of Yathrib kill three aggressors in what was immediate and undeniable self-defense?
Yes, everything is “self-defense” from the Muslim viewpoint: Muslims are defending themselves from unbelief and polytheism when they wage jihad.
None of Muhammad’s battles were particularly spectacular in any respect, but they set the precedent for a pattern of behavior.

The precedent that Mohammad set with his actions is something that you will never get Lixy to admit to. Even though it is the root of all the problems that we have with Islam.
Instead of addressing the issue of Mohammad directly all we will get from Lixy or his defenders on this board is some flowery passages from the front of the Koran that are contradicted by Mohammad’s actions.
