Why is there this bizarre myth that before Israel, Muslims preached 'tolerance' to Jews?

Straight frrom the horse's mouth (so to speak . . .) as the Koran clearly and unequivocally states:Surah V: 51 – “O you who believe! DO NOT TAKE THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS FOR FRIENDS; they are friends of each other; and whosoever among you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Islam . . . the religion that loves to hate.
