Persecution of Jews by corrupt and/or misguided Christians in Medieval Europe was no more justified than forced conversion, dhimmi submission or extermination under Muslim overlords. The difference, however, which you keep disingenuously ignoring, is that the Christians who were persecuting the Jews were doing so contrary to the teachings of Jesus, while the Muslims were following Mohammed's explicit instructions. Another difference is that Christianity evolved and eventually repudiated and ceased officially sanctioning Jewish persecution - Islam remains the same.
Moses Maimonides and his family, like the rest of the Jews in Cordoba, were forced to either convert to Islam or leave their home under threat of death by Muslim rulers. The fact that they found sanctuary in Egypt under different circumstances doesn't change the fact that it was Islam that did that to them.
Further, even in Egypt, although they were allowed to live, they were still dhimmis. They did not have the same rights as Muslims, they were still subject to the jizya tax, and in a myriad of other ways they were second-class citizens.
Your continuing attempts to foist a false cultural and moral equivalence is simply unsupportable either historically or morally/ethically. The brutal fact is that while Jews and Christians are "People of the Book", they will never be accorded the same equal rights and treatment under Islam that they freely extend to Muslims. They have always been and will always be considered by Muslims as second-class citizens and inferior to Muslims. And, as soon as Muslims gain control of a society, they will be treated as such.
