Sorry I'm a bit confused, could you please rephrase.

I would think that the Jews and Christians in Al-Andalus would have been a lot happier their, then in Eastern Europe at the same time (no offense to any Eastern Europeans). You have to realize that the "tax" or jizya, as its known in Arabic, applied to all Christians and Jews, therefore exempting them from military service, and at times this tax was removed completly (especially during times of peace, which were quite abundent). I should also remind you that many Christians and mostly Jews actually, welcomed the coming of the Al-Andalus to Spain, as they threw off the barbaric Visigoths from Spain all together, and in the wake of the Arab/Berber invasion, a large wave of higher culture and scientific understanding washed across Spain, a lot of this was contributed to Jews and Christians as well, who took part in the research as well, and the common well being of the people. And I can absoulty assure you that a Jew in Al-Andalus (overall) would have been much happier their then in Eastern Europe, especially considering the fact that Al-Andalus had hunderds of public libraries, baths, street lamps, things that would not come to the rest of Europe until around the 18th century. And although, sure, there was the occasional Muslim fanatical ruler, who persecuted Jews, we have to remember that for most of the time, some of the closest people to the Emir/local ruler were Jews and Christians. There are tons of reports of Jews and Christians having very high positions in the burracuracy in Al-Andalus, and I doubt this was the same in Poland at the same time, especially considering they would have been stuck in the European Dark Ages.
So that is why the Cordobans should have the UP of Religious tolerance, because it much better suits them overall, I think that there can be another better UP for Poland, which we can find, and since we have a supposed Pole with us, "Issos", I think he can come up with a better UP for them
Your argument is that "life was better" because Cordoba was more technologically advanced, and the subsequent "happiness" there means the Jews were better off (no mention of the Christians, which were greater in population of course, and were more harshly persecuted)... it has zero to due with tolerance, however, which is the question here... not standard of living as seen through rainbow colored lenses that can't see all the story.
Here is some inconvenient history that you seem to be ignoring:
The history of Islamic Spain begins, of course, with violent conquest. Make no mistake about it.
The Crónica Bizantina of 741 A.D., the Crónica mozárabe of 754 A.D. and the illustrations to the thirteenth-century Cantigas de Santa María chronicle the brutality with which the Muslims subjugated the Catholic population. From then on, the best rulers of al- Andalus were autocrats who through brute force kept the peace in the face of religious, dynastic, racial, and other divisions.
It was Abd al-Rahman I (734?-788) who ordered the demolition of the ancient Catholic church of Cordoba to build the much admired mosque.
During his reign and that of Abd al-Rahman II (822-852), the conqueror of Barcelona, Catholics suffered confiscations of property, enslavement, and increases in their exacted tribute, which helped finance the embellishment of Islamic Cordoba.
Under Abd al-Rahman II and Muhammad I (822-886), a number of Catholics were killed in Cordoba for preaching against Islam, while others were expelled from the city. Among these victims was Saint Eulogio, beheaded by the Islamic authorities. Muhammad I ordered that newly constructed churches be destroyed as well as anything in the way of refinements that might adorn the old churches added since the Arab conquest.
In addition to building more palaces and subsidizing the arts and sciences in Cordoba, Al-Mansur (d. 1002) burned heretical booksand terrorized Catholics, sacking Zaragoza, Osma, Zamora, Leon, Astorga, Coimbra, and Santiago de Compostela. In 985 he burned down Barcelona, enslaving all those he did not kill.
Later came the Almohades to reunify a fractured Islamic Andalusia. By 1170 the almohades had taken control of Andalusia and unleashed new horrors on Catholics, Jews, and other Muslims. That the ruthless almohades also produced marvelous architecture and were responsible for the beauty of some mozarabic buildings, such as Santa María la Blanca in Toledo, captures nicely the true nature of Andalusian Spain.
The early Muslim invaders were relatively small in numbers, so it was politically prudent to grant religious autonomy to Catholics, while trying to protect themselves from the contagion of Catholic influence by segregating themselves from the subject majority. Therefore they maintained the Catholics in a state of dhimmitude as a protected class curtailed from any possibility of sharing political power or compromising the hegemonic position of Islam. In times of war or political turmoil, the Catholics freedom was further restricted. Catholics fleeing Muslim rule lost all protection, and their property was confiscated by the conquerors. Tolerance at this extreme, notices historian Robert I. Burns, is not easily distinguished from intolerance."
Jews formed, for a time, an intermediary class between the hegemonic Muslims and the defeated Catholics. This was the so-called Spanish Jewish Golden Age. But Jews remained "dhimmi", a group subject to and serving the Muslim rulers. These presumably best of times ended in any event with the arrival of the jihadist almoravides and almohades. Jews as well as Catholics fell victim to their renewed religious zeal. Many Jews migrated to Catholic lands as a result.
In Granada in 1066 - even before the arrival of the almoravidesrioting Muslim mobs assassinated the rabbi and visir Joseph Ibn Naghrela and destroyed the entire Jewish community; thousands perished - more than those killed by mobs in the Rhineland at the beginning of the First Crusade.
Shall I even get into gender and racial tolerance or lack thereof in this most magnificent center of culture and greatness?
No wonder that when political correctness did not yet exist, the great historian of Islam, Evariste Lévi-Provençal, observed: The Muslim Andalusian state appears from its earliest origins as the defender and champion of a jealous orthodoxy, more and more ossified in a blind respect for a rigid doctrine, suspecting and condemning in advance the least effort of rational speculation.
