If people improved their reading comprehension, then maybe they would have noticed that specifically excluded the holocaust from my comparisons. Ever since Napoleon liberated Europe, Jews experienced a significant increase in freedoms and civil rights. Of course everything is from Hashem. Since the beginning of the 1800s, the Ashkenazi population increased more than tenfold. Obviously it is an incredible nes, but you can’t ignore that in Muslim lands, Jewish population has stagnated for centuries and only started to pick up the pace after being under European colonial powers.
It’s definitely true that European atrocities were far greater in scale. But those were individual occurrences that happened periodically. Overall, Jews were able to live under lawful and effective governments. Muslims however made life so fraught with danger and chaos that it was considered a normal routine, and the tragedies were not as distinguishable. Life was generally much more unstable, and prosperity was almost nonexistent.
