Jesus was not only Jewish but a rabbi.

Early church fathers argued over whether new converts who had been pagans had to be circumcised and eat only kosher food as required by Jewish law.

In most counties, there were threats of law enforcement crackdowns to curtail the Muslim violence and attacks on Christians and other religions.

Muhammad drew up this document and got the non Muslims to agree to it. Not only were Jews able to practice their religion freely (as were the non-Muslim Arabs) but there was not tax on the non Muslims that was imposed later when the Muslims were much stronger relative to others.
