Are we totally going to ignore the fact that the Mamluks and other Turks were foreigners who only had Islam to try to bond with the region they were taking over. It's not like it was Levantine Jews vs Levantine Muslims.

It's a lot like how the US helps Israel because it has the same western values despite religion.
