If you study the history of Jews in Muslim nations, they never were accorded equal rights and were always treated as an inferior, but protected, group. There were periods in Spanish Muslim history when Jews were peresecuted and killed. Frankly, the Muslim myth of treating Jews on an equal basis is just that– a myth. Granted, overall Jews had it better in Muslim nations than in medieval Christian nations. But, let’s not attempt to portray the Muslim world as one of equality.

German history and the history of so much of the Muslim world have little in common except an evil tolerance (Even encouragement!) of anti-semitism.

It was not universal. In Muslim Spain Rabbi Maimonides was almsot universally honored and respected and he wrote his, Guide for the Perplexed, the most significant work of Jewish theology, in Arabic . the Jews flourished in Muslim Spain, but their good times ended when the Catholics drove out the Muslims and there followed the Spanish inquisition which drove out most of the Jews in Spain or forced them to convert.
