Alfred Guillemet wrote the definitive translation in 1955, and was published by the Oxford Press. Pages 461-469 describe, in gory detail, the slaughter of 800 some odd male Jews at Qurayza, plus the enslavement of their women and children. The violent tenets are still all there for anyone who actually wants to do their homework.
And, to my point, you/me/we need strategic allies to defeat Radical (ie fundamental) Islam so you really should avoid screwing that up with unhinged attacks on our natural allies like King Abdullah, the Kurds etc.
In the meantime, our collective focus should be on outlawing the Muslim Brotherhood, which basically has a written (in Arabic) strategic plan to overthrow the US from within. I should post that at some point since I have a copy .. .mental note to myself.

Sorry Tex...I read your post fast and thought your Sirat was misspelled "surahs", the chapters from the Koran. The Koran translations have been "cleaned up" since 9-11...from what I remember reading before. They seem to have been mellowed out, they're not as extreme. My mistake.
