"Before the Ottoman conquests of the Arab lands, they had absorbed large numbers of Jewish refugees from Spain and Portugal, an influx that transformed the composition of Jewish communities from Aleppo to Algiers and laid the ground for some of the greatest intellectual achievements in Jewish history." - Jana Hathaway, "Arab Lands Under Ottoman Rule, 1516-1800" Compare how Islam provided security & safety in life, conduct & intellectual activity to the Jews: a theme which is seen again & again throughout Islamic history - compare that to the parallel European treatment of Jews; racism, bigotry, unjust rules, forced conversions to Christianity. Then compare how the Jews repay the Muslims for their favours in this day and age. unity
