Benny Morris writes that one symbol of Jewish degradation was the phenomenon of stone-throwing at Jews by Muslim children . Morris quotes a 19th-century traveler : " I have seen a little fellow of six years old , with a troop of fat toddlers of only three and four , teaching them to throw stones at a Jew , and one little urchin would , with the greatest coolness , waddle up to the man and literally spit upon his Jewish gaberdine . To all this the Jew is obliged to submit ; it would be more than his life was worth to offer to strike a Mahommedan . " The massacres of Jews in Muslim countries continued into the 20th century . The Jewish quarter in Fez was almost destroyed by a Muslim mob in 1912 . There were Nazi-inspired pogroms in Algeria in the 1930s , and massive attacks on the Jews in Iraq and Libya in the 1940s ( see Farhud ) . Pro-Nazi Muslims slaughtered dozens of Jews in Baghdad in 1941
