Which wasn't the case in the organised realms. At the most, christians and jews had to pay higher taxes to excercise their religion. Proselityzing, of course, was forbidden. But as a general rule, a jew was much better off in one of the Islamic kingdoms than he was in the West at the same time.
That's because Jews were always collaborators with the muslims.
