Ah, the noise continues

The Surah At-Taubah or Al-Tawba (repentance), which the passages you quote come from, were a result of the Quraish tribe breaking it's treaty (treaty of Hudaibiyah) and engaging in combat with Mohammed and his followers. Ironically, Mohammed himself was originally a member of the Quraish tribe, and they became his major opponent after he broke away from them.
