The Crusades of the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries passed without serious incident in northern France. The violence suffered by northern French Jewry was, in every instance, the result of governmental initiative, rather than an outpouring of popular sentiment.

Jews in Portugal were unpopular and provided obvious scapegoats in times of stress; but they were nonetheless fairly well protected by the crown and the great magnates– for they were essential to national well-being, comprising a vital component of the mercantile bourgeoisie. Yet on 31 October 1497, Manuel ordered the expulsion, on pain of death, of all Jews and Muslims from his kingdom. [...] Of course, Manuel and his council were aware of the damage a Jewish exodus could inflict on the Portuguese economy and therefore made every effort to convert the Jews instead. [...] Former Jews were guaranteed their property. They were to be officially known as New Christians (cristãos novos), and the use of insulting terms like marrano was prohibited. [...] Despite government policies, the popular odium previously reserved for Jews was now transferred to New Christians, and soon there were renewed outbreaks of anti-Semitic violence. The worst occurred in Lisbon in April 1506 when a frenzied mob, egged on by Dominican friars, massacred several thousand terrified New Christians, throwing many of them onto a huge bonfire in Lisbon’s central square, the Rossio.\" §REF§(Disney 2009a: 153-154) Disney, A.

The Muslim officers who were in the service of the Vijayanagara kings strived to earn their favor. But in a rare event, common people exhibited unprecedented harmony between Hindu and Muslim communities.Sindugatta is a place in K.R. Pete taluk of Mandya district, Karnataka. The Muslim community of place had no mosque in their village in the early part of the Sixteenth century. Babu-setti, a local merchant of the place constructed a stone mosque in the very centre of the place ( Olakere ) in 1537 A.D.15 For this mosque Ranga-nayaka, a local officer made a grant of a village named Sivapura, a house to Habiba and 14 gady anas etc. The inscription calls the mosque \"stone mosque- temple\" ( Kalla masitiya devastahana). Another important fact is that the house of Habiba was made tax free. He seems to be the priest or quazi of the mosque. The man who constructed this mosque had not received any kind of direction from the king or administrative agency. He voluntarily came farward to do this act as a symbol of Hindu-Muslim amity. Politically there was a great enemity between the kings of Vijayanagara and the Sultans of the Deccan states at this time. However, the people had not taken these political situations into their consideration. They had developed the tendency of respecting the other communities and faith and they lived in such a manner.
