So it's your positions that the Arabs should NOT have allowed  the Jews to return?

The Arabs proved themselves more tolerant and "christian-like"
than the Christians of their era.

Take a look at how Jews were treated in Christian countries.  Did Muslims
require Jews to run races with prostitutes (as was done on some feast days
in many European cities?)  Did Muslims drive the Jews out (as the Spanish,
English and French did?)

We Christians have no call to sneer at the Muslims for their treatment of the Jews!
