In The Jews of Islam , a recent attempt at evaluating the history of the Jews in Muslim lands, Bernard Lewis makes several references to the fact that Jewish experience in Shi'i lands, particularly in Iran, differed substantially from that of Sunni lands. He points out that Iranian Jews were more persecuted and, on several occasions, were even forced to convert. Yet, aside from mentioning some of the conventional reasons for these differences such as the Shi'i concept of najasa (ritual impurity), he does not dwell on the experiences of Iranian Jewry at length. This is partly on account of the scarcity of reliable sources before the Safavid period and partly because the accessible sources from the Safavid period and later are still in need of close analysis
