They were literally viewed as being servants of the evil god aka "devil" and thus no matter what cruelty was exacted upon them, it was justified in order to convert them.Jews and Muslims were marginally, just marginally, accepted although forced to live in certain districts and had their travel and employment opportunities greatly restricted and, intermittently, the church would try to exterminate them here or there every few generations.So-- yeah, the weird people from way out east who were devil worshippers with strange picture writing who ate who sat on the floor and ate with sticks and such were seen as quite odd and backwards.</blockquote>
