As rumours begin to circulate of humiliations and possible banishments of Muslims by the conquering Christians, and even forced conversions to Christianity the Banu Hudayl and their fellow villagers, Muslim, Christian and Jew, can only wait in anguish for the approaching disaster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree (1992), by Tariq Ali )〕
