Not sure I agree with that, completely… That is being a little too easy on the way Muslims treated Jews in the centuries that preceded the 20th century. It may have been relatively great for Jews in Moorish Spain, but it wasn’t like that everywhere. Just because Islamic nations weren’t as brutal, as a whole, towards their Jewish minorities as the Christian nations were for centuries doesn’t mean the Jews were well treated throughout the Islamic world prior to the 20th century. They weren’t. Moorish Spain was more of the exception than the rule as to how Jews were treated. That said, the Christians of the era were even worse.

Besides, it doesn’t do Muslims much service by pointing out that they USED to be more tolerant than Christians.
