Islam has its periods of violence and its periods of tolerance. The Ottomans gave refuge to the Jews expelled from Catholic Spain in 1492.

This is such rubbish and is taken straight from left wing revisionist history permeating universities these days. The Ottomans - Muslim Turks - while allegedly "assisting" Jews in relocating to the Balkans and Middle east - were enslaving and destroying the Christian world of the the same area! Remember: Asia Minor (today's turkey) was once completely Christian. Today there are less than a couple thousand Christians left.

What the Turks did was replenish their human dhimmi cattle stocks. After killing so many Christians they needed to import Jews to the Balkans to keep their dhimmi tax (tax on non-Muslims) roles healthy. From the get go Islam was a parasitic religion founded on enslavement.
