Kuz,
Well, you are more or less right in some aspects. But Yoav Peled is not taken seriously even by most Iraqi Jews. There was a very strong Zionist movement in Iraq. You cannot compare the elightened Islamic empire of Turkey to Nowadays arab countries.
As for a Jew living in Portugal—didn't the Portugese and the Spaniards kick out all the Jews that were not willing to convert in 1492? We saw how peacefull resistence helped the Jews in WWII.
The Jews had very little choice.
Now there's a choice wether to dwell on history and go back to King David or Muhammed and open old wounds or to burry the hatchet and try to figure out a solution both sides can live with.
