what do you know about the persecution of jews in muslim coutries?
i know that they encountered a fair share of pogroms in Muslim countries as well

the jews were far less persecuted in muslim countries than in christian countries
different countries treated them differently. while the Ottoman Empire was somewhat lenient for its times - so was Poland

or the ones in Finland or Sweden

My neighbor was a chistian in a muslim country and moved because the persecution was so overwhelling, which weve talked about alot.
my neighbour was anecdotal evidence

is it persucuted as much as the gay community - most Muslims in Muslim countries are pretty intolerable.
no they're not
i don't think that all of the Muslims can be lumped into one big group like that

Iran has actually said they want to blow up isreal with a nuclear bomb - doubt they would treat "home -brewed" jewish people any better.
you can doubt all you wish
but the fact is that they're not treated
that badly, as a recognized minority they even get some rights
and, well, they're free to practice their religion
however - the guys that really get bad treatment in Iran would be the Bahá’ís
and - well - mr. Ahmadinejad certainly seems to have no trouble with non-zionist Jews
