You know, I used to hear that a lot but now I'm reading a lot on the term "dhimmi" and "dhimmitude" and it doesn't sound like Jews were treated AT ALL well by Muslims. It sounds like they were treated like they were the "n*gg*rs" of the Middle East. There's an interesting National Review online article called "Dhimmi for Dummies" that was very eye-opening.

There were times and places where Jews were treated better, and times and places where they were treated worse. On whole, Jews in Muslim areas (especially Spain) did much better than Jews in Christian areas.
