“It more often than not was Christians versus Islam+Jews (see the Crusades).”
During the reconquista, the Catholic Spanish Princes and Knights battled frequently against the Muslims and their Jewish allies. An amazing 800 year struggle.

Keep showing your ignorance. The light Dhimmitude of the so called Golden Age of Jews in Al Andalus was ended by Muslims in the mid 11th century. After this, Jews lived under full religious Jim Crow and could not touch a weapon.
The Catholic Spaniards fought the Muslims, who kept Jews and Arian Christians in a system of religious Jim Crow on good days. The Catholic alternative was forced conversion or death. It was the Catholic-Arian religios fights that allowed the Muslims to take North Africa and then Spain. Blaiming Jews is just pathetic.
