>>after all they have no problem breaking any treaty with any nation of unbelievers.

Is that what you speculate or is there some incidents that you can recall to back up your claim.

The model that Muslims cite is the Treaty of Hudaibiyah. Mohammed made this ten year treaty with the unbelieving Qureish, then two years later, when he was in a stronger position, he unilaterally broke the treaty and destroyed the Qureish.

Muslims cite the treaty as an example from the Prophet himself of how Muslims may make tactical treaties with infidels, but strategic alliances are forbidden -- and breaking the treaty if your position allows is also kosher, to mix a metaphor.

Arafat cited the Treaty of Hudaibiyah in a big speech he gave (in Arabic) in South Africa, right after he had signed the Oslo Accords. The Americans and Israelis pretended not to hear the message.
