Medina was called Yatrib then and the Jewish Rabbis there prophesied from the Torah about a messenger for the Arabs long before the Mohammed was born, so they put up no resistance.

Do you have a source for the nonsense you post or do you just make things up to suit the occasion?

Here's what the Encyclopedia Britannica (1998) has to say about Medina:

The city developed from an oasis, probably settled by Jews expelled from Palestine about AD 135. In 622 the Prophet Muhammad arrived at Medina from Mecca. This flight, known as the Hegira, marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar. Soon afterward Muhammad drove out the Jews who had controlled the oasis. Thereafter known as Medina, the city prospered as the administrative capital of the steadily expanding Islamic state, a position it maintained until 661 ...
What does it mean in your history: put up no resistance? They willingly allowed themselves to be slaughtered for the glory of your Allah?
