      Jews lived mostly peaceful and Jewish communities were often thriving in Muslim majority countries. Things usually got bad when the “white European” Christians came, like during the crusades or the conquest of the Iberian peninsula. The same people whose descendants now want to blame their Antisemitism on Muslims and solve their Antisemitism by having “the Jews” live outside of their European home countries.

      The Qur’an says Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all people of the book, and that they can all live in peace together. Muslims have generally not subjected Jews to the same persecution that Christians have.

      Or in other words, just because white people are racist, doesn’t mean brown people are too.

      • I might be wrong, but I think I remember something about Jews kind of being necessary for the economy. See, there’s this little book called the Qur’an. And it says something about Muslims not being allowed to loan money with interest. So Jews loaned money when necessary. And they kind of became the financial people of the time. I remembered this from years ago, if I’m wrong, please correct me.
