Since the Balfour Declaration riled up the Arabs, and ever since the creation of the medina, terrorism and wars have killed and maimed many more Jews than were ever killed or maimed living under Arab or Muslim rule in a similar time period. Although things were never peachy living under their rule (after all we are in golus everywhere — whether under the Arabs, the Church or the Americans), comparative to their Jewish brethren living under Christian/European rule, the Jews living under the Arabs were much much better off. Anti-semitism there was much closer to the modern quantity of anti-semitism in Europe then to the quantity of anti-semitism in Europe between 70 CE and 1945 CE.
