Summarize this text:
Muhammad respected the Jews for believing in one God; so they were tolerated, and some became Muslims. Muhammad encouraged the Muslims of Mecca and of Medina to embrace each other as brothers. He proved to the Jews that he accepted the law of stoning adulterers. Muhammad himself had more than one wife and married 'A'isha when she was only nine. In Medina he changed the practice of facing Jerusalem in prayer to facing Mecca. From Medina Muhammad began leading raids himself; as the prophet he received a fifth of the spoils, which he distributed to the poor as needed. Muhammad promised his warriors who died fighting the Quraysh that they would enter paradise, and they charged shouting, "God's victors kill." Conflicts with Jews developed, and Muhammad authorized the killing of Jews.
