re: #23 researchok

The reality is much more complex.

Jews were scapegoated and even persecuted but they were also highly placed in many of the various caliphates. There were Jewish Prime Ministers (as in executive officers), treasurers, and so on, etc. See here It is a complex and complicated story.

The fact is we are looking a the politics of the governing body with 20th century eyes.

There are no examples of what we might consider religious tolerance but all in all, the proof is in the pudding.

While history is replete with examples of intolerance the fact remains as a society, culture and even as a religion, Jews did thrive under some parts of the caliphate- probably more so than they did overall under Christian rule- until much later.

None of this discussion can be reduced to a few words or lines.

Funny, that’s what I said. And your problem with what I said was????
