Quote:
Hind bint Utbah was the wife of Abu Sufiyan ibn Harb. She was mother of Muawiya I. Her brother was killed in the Battle of Badr.
She was among the most bitter enemies of Muslims and the prophet Muhammad. During the battle of Uhud, the uncle of Muhammad, Hamza, was martyred by Wahshi, the slave of Jubayr b. Mutim. She cut out his liver and chewed it. She could not swallow it, and threw it away - for that, she is called "Hind the liver eater". (ref)
She and her husband accepted Islam at the time the conquest of Mecca.

The books I've read referred to her as a Jew. However, if she was a 'Kafir' (strong non-believer) then that would make the story of the Hadith even more relevent.
Do you speak any Arabic, then? If so, I'd like to continue this in PM.
In Arabic.
As it'll be much easier for me than English.

I'm a Sunni, and I don't believe in this. Don't give me a bunch of links written by people who hardly qualify to be called experts and expect me to try and justify what they're saying. I don't agree with it because they interpret the Koran the way THEY want to. There's a million ways you can look at the Koran, if it was that easy then we wouldn't have sub-catagories like that to begin wtih. And Islam would be the same in each area or region but clearly it isn't. That's due to the fact that we all interpret things differently. It doesn't mean that some people are right while others are wrong. But it also doesn't give you the right to assume that it is right when it could very well be wrong. Accept the possibilities.
