@H-nx8wr I do agree that Jews often contributed and helped in Christian societies despite being often maligned too, even within the theology of the churches where they were deemed as "Christ killers" etc., (with the non-Jewish Romans from Europe who hammered the nails into His hands and feet not even implicated at all of course), yet Jews did forge many positive relations.
Of course they could never count on that 100% as explusions & political changes could affect their standing at any time, as we know from them being expelled from England in 1290, the first country to do so, followed in 1492 by Spain unless they converted to Christianity from Judaism.
The Islamic countries did not fuss about Jesus Christ so much, plus were also linked racially and semi-linguistically to the Jews as being fellow Semites through their common forefather Abraham, thus they had more in common together as Jews & Arabs than European Christians who viewed them moreso as something "other", although both treated them "lesser" to some degree.
Some Jews were very wealthy in some siutations in the Arab countries even taking limited official positions, but as "dhimmis", or a kind of secondary status to Muslims, the Jews could never really hope for anything near equality, yet they were tolerated if they kept a low profile.
This status quo worked for many centuries, even despite persecutions and discriminations, but they were never murdered as systematically in the huge numbers that the Christians did to them.
(That is why most Jews despise the sign of the cross, due to ravishes of Christian pogroms.)
So they fared better in Islamic countries, but only ever very quietly rose to any prominence.
They were more used than abused, for the skills, expertise and advice to sultans and emirs.
Only when the Jews were allotted any land of their own like the Arabs were so used to did that amiable tolerance turn to a raging torrent of hate and outrage. They will never be Islamically equal.
