If I lived during the ninth century AD, than I would rather choose to be a Jew in the Byzantine Empire, rather than a Christian in the Abbasid Caliphate. The reason for this is that in the ninth century, the Byzantine authorities were not cruel toward the Jews, instead the predominantly Orthodox Christians allowed the Jews to practice their religion and were not discriminatory against them on religious basis. That enabled the Jews to be able to leave in peace as all others, and they were able to prosper into the society.

The authorities were very oppressive, forced the people to convert to Islam, or if they didn't they were discriminated against, seen as lower type of people, even to a degree of animals. It was common that the man were tortured and killed because they were practicing Christianity, and the women were raped and taken as sex slaves.
