When Mohammed founded his religion the area was filled with Jews, Christians and Pagans
This led to military conquests against Jewish settlements like Banu Quarazy where at least 500 captive Jewish men and boys were executed on the pretext that they had reniged on a deal with Mohammed
Depending on how he was feeling Jews and Christians were either afforded a certain respect as 'people of the book ' or according to hadith he described Jews as the descendents of pigs and apes, cursed by God
This animosity wasn't helped by the fact that Mohamed's death was caused by poisoning by an elderly Jewish female captive
For some people the conflict goes even further back to Abraham with Jews being descendents of Sarah and Muslims descended from Ishmael, the son of Sarah's handmaid Hagar
Ironically the Bible says of Ishmael, "He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.”
So when Hitler came along....it was a natural allegiance for some
