Now, I'm not defending Christianity since I'm almost an atheist and don't know much about it, but if Jews were treated better by Muslims why is it then most had to escape to Europe. Let's be honest, unti world war II most Jews lived in "christian lands". Is it because Jews were slaughtered and raped that they left middle east?
