I thought he softened up too; but then I thought about how he was feeling at that time, hurt from being sold out, having to worry about getting assassinated before he knew his wife and children were taken care of, and realizing that the ISLAM he was introduced to was not pure ISLAM. All of these factors, and more, had to have a profound effect on his thinking and his behavior.
