If you knew, how the Jews were behaving towards Muhammad(pbuh) then you would understand why he had to do what he did, the Jews always plotted against him, always tried to assassinate him, the Jews sided with the hypocrite Muslims, hence even hypocrite Muslims were against Muhammad(pbuh), so was the Jews, so was the Quraish, he was surrounded, it is a miracle Islam is still alive, if it werent for the actions of Muhammad(pbuh), Islam would have been annihilated.
So what you are telling us is the Muhammad's ego was bruised so he attacked the Jews and you now admit that without the sword Islam would not exist today? BTW, the source you are taking exception with that faithfreedom quotes is from a Muslim.
n this discourse Muhammad declared that all the treaties that he had previously signed with the Pagans are null and that the Pagans had four months of grace to submit to him and after that they would be hunted and as the verse 2 says; “covered with shame”.
The verse 3 clearly states that after the lapse of those four months, Muhammad would unilaterally dissolve his treaties and obligations with the Pagans "and will inflict grievous penalty on those who reject his Faith."

Muhammad dissolved those treaties and spread Islam by the sword.
Christianity existed for over a 1000 years before the first war was fought in the name of Christ (the Crusades) so your rationale concerning Muhammad and his egotistical justifications for breaking treaties is nothing more than a vain effort to avoid the truth.
