According to Goldschmidt & Davidson (2009), the conflict between Muslims and Jews could have been intensified by the quarrel that took place between Muhammad and the Jews of Medina. In fact Goldschmidt & Davidson (2009) indicate that there never used to be war between Jews and Muslims even though the Zionist are indicated to have believed that the Jews while under Muslim rule were treated like second-class citizens. Christian anti-Semitism as well held prejudice against Jews. The Diaspora cast Jews in socio-religious seclusion and persecution in a manner that set extremely terrible standards in regard to religious toleration. The worst cases of Jewish persecution by Muslims were in the Medieval times. For instance Bat Ye'or and Stillman were involved in forceful conversion of Jews to Islam by offering them either conversion to Islam or death (Snow,2010,p.8).Christians on the other hand have participated in the socio-religious seclusion as well as persecution of Jews by practicing anti-Semitism as well persecuting them across centuries (Sloyan,2001) . The rivalry between Jews and Muslims was however ignited by the creation of Israel (Goldschmidt & Davidson, 2009).
Ibrahim (2009) argued that indeed Jews and Christianity are also violent as Islam. Jews of Albania were persecuted by Muslims and Christians (Christo,2005)
