I mean, when you talk about ghettos, ghettos was not just as secluded parts in cities. Sometimes those ghettos were outside the cities. Jews were not even allowed to work a lot of professions. They were not allowed to get into the syndicates of certain professions. So they had to go work usually and they got rich. So the people hated them more. The first crusade didn't kill a single Muslim.
