Muhammad, after a long quarrel, appropriated much of their property, and his first actual conquest was the oasis of Khaibar, occupied by the Jews, in 628.
As he believed firmly in his position as last of the prophets and as successor of Jesus, Muhammad seems at first to have expected that the Jews and Christians would welcome him and accept his revelations, but he was soon disappointed.

 Antisemitism Worldwide 2003/4 - General Analysis
With its insistence on putting the Jews and Sharon’s government policies in one basket, the Zionist movement placed the burden of its crimes against the Arabs on the Jews, claimed Arab Israeli MK Muhammad Baraka (al-Bayan, 1 Dec.).
Baraka was sharply criticized for his poem “Somebody Blew Up America,” which repeated the myth that 4,000 ”Israelis” stayed home from work at the World Trade Center on 11 September, thereby suggesting that Jews and Israel had foreknowledge of the attacks.
The European poll posed a problem for Israel, agreed Muhammad Baraka, yet the problem was not the “mirror [the poll] but he who stands in front of it” (al-Bayan, 1 Dec.).

The Muslim conquest of Sind was masterminded by Hajjaj, the governor of Iraq, and effected by his commander Muhammad Bin Qasim in 712 C.E. After the capture of the port of Debal, the Muslim army took three days to slaughter the inhabitants.
This rapid rise of Islam is a sad story of, to quote Professor Bosworth, "human intolerance and fanaticism." The subsequent treatment of the Jews and the Christians has been described in two extremely courageous books by Bat Ye'or, The Dhimmi: Jews and Christians under Islam (1985) and Les Chretientes D'Orient Entre Jihad Et Dhimmitude (1991).

According to al-Nasiri, the Jews now "became arrogant and reckless, and they wanted to have special rights under the law--especially the Jews of the ports." 36 Soon after Montefiore's departure, Muhammad IV issued a second decree that clarified his original dahir to the point of nullifying it.
Of all the Jews in the Arab world during the nineteenth century, none were more affected by the impact of Europe and none underwent more profound transformations than the Jews of Morocco's eastern neighbor, Algeria.
45 By the single stroke of a pen, some 30,000 Jews living in the three northern departments of Algeria (although not the Jews in the Saharan south) had become citizens of a democratic Western European state and were no longer considered--and most no longer considered themselves--Jews of an Arab land.

Muhammad became distressed when he did not have any more revelations for a while; but then he was told that the Lord would give to him and reminded him that as an orphan he was given refuge; when he went astray, he was guided; when he was poor, he was made rich.

that perhaps Muhammad deliberately sought for and incorporated Jewish terminology into his revelation in order to win over the Jews before he made his final break with them.
In the beginning Muhammad but followed in their footsteps, but he grasped the political arm and became a figure in the world, while of the others we can now discern but the hazy outlines, though they so largely prepared the way for him.
The polemic of the Qur'an itself is sufficient evidence of the importance of the Jews as a religious body in the community to which Muhammad addressed his message.

When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Mecca to al-Madina he found there a heterogeneous mixture of races and faiths including Jews, Christians as well as atheists.
