I don’t want to be the naysayer hear, but Judaism has a long history of co-existence with Islam ... Can’t let a good story fall in the way of inconvenient facts.

However, you "conveniently" leave out the "fact" that the "co-existence" you tout was purchased at the price of Jewish dhimmitude, i.e "submission". The establishment of a Jewish state of non-dhimmis is what Islam can't tolerate.

Your "facts" may be correct, but your argument is dishonest.

There were also a history of massacres of Jewish communities in the Islamic world, expulsions, and other persecutions. In 1948, the muslims expelled almost one million Jews from their countries and confiscated their property.

Many Jews argue that their status in Arab countries was better than their peers in Europe, at least for a long period of history.

One of the greatest Jewish theologians practiced in the Arab world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides) without suffering from a pogrom.
