The Turks, for one. They openly welcomed many Jews after the Spanish Expulsion of 1492. On account of this, Salonika (now Thessaloniki, Greece) had a majority-Jewish population during the 16th and 17th centuries. It should be noted, however, that Jews were still second class citizens under the Ottoman Millet System. However, as opposed to Europe which was executing, expelling, and torturing its Jewish population, being a second-class citizen was a more tolerant system.
