Testimonies Jews for Allah
Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, all go back to the prophet and patriarch Abraham, and their three prophets are directly descended from his sons. Muhammad from the eldest, Ishmael, and Moses and Jesus from Isaac.
Abraham established the settlement which today is the city of Makkah, and built the Ka'abah towards which all Muslims turn when they pray.
Muslims and Jews have lived in peace and harmony for Centuries. During the time of the Prophet, one of his close companions, Abu Huraira - may God be pleased with him- was previously Jewish and was single handedly responsible for the collection of significant number of Ahadith ( A Hadith is a reliably transmitted report of what the Prophet said, did, or approved) which all Muslims follow today as the second authority after the Quran.
When Jews were aggressively prosecuted in Europe, they have always found Safe Havens and migrated to the Muslim regions. Today, you can find Jewish populations especially in Turkey, Iran, and Morocco which are all in close proximity to Eastern and Western Europe and as a result of such past migrations.
Jews have lived in peace throughout the Middle East and hold the nationality of their respective countries. Therefore, in Iran for example you can find an Iranian who is Muslim, or Christian, or Jewish, very much as you find an American Christian, or Muslim, or Jew. Muslims have integrated and developed successful marriages with the people of the book (Christians and Jews), and there are thousands of examples of Jewish spouses even in the M. East while under political tensions.
