Of course, before the advent of Islam, that is exactly what you would do as soon as he stepped out of the haram. Now Makkah had been a Haram before Islam, and one of the most radical things he (PBUH) did after the Migration was to announce that the Masjid-i-Nabvi was a Haram. Another issue raised by the incident is the presence of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) there.

He knows better how the Prophet (PBUH) treated the leader of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin Ubaayy.
