Actually you got that backwards.  Iran actually protected Jews during WWII and paid the price, they also have the largest population of Jews outside of Israel in the ME.  

To Muhammad they were all people of the book.  It is in fact Jewish people in Israel that are murdering innocent Muslims and that is causing blowback that would not otherwise exist.  How naïve to skip over western anti-Semitism and then try and lay it at the door step of Islam.  You have a weak understanding of history, even Canadian history, not to mention German, American, European,  etc.
