The Jews were treated well by the Turks. Look up the meaning of the following word: dhimmis.
It means "people of the book", and is applied by moderate Islam to Christians and Jews, allowing them to worship as they please in private, and exempting them from public observance of the Moslem faith.
I have never noted such concessions from any Christian church which was the religion of 95% of hte people of any nation. Or does the Inquisition not ring a bell? I also seem to recall that the catholic Church, among others, expressly condemned such things as the separation of Chruch and State, the concept of democratic rule, the concept of a Bill of Rights, etc., etc., etc.
As far as I know, "Quanta Cura", the Papal Bull which did this condemning, has not been repealed.
Fundamentalist Islam is not alone in intolerance.
