"... in 1453, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II encouraged Jews to settle in the city [Constantinople] and to govern themselves in their own religious-based community. Property was offered free to Jewish newcomers, with a substantial exemption in their taxes for an extended period and with permission to build synagogues – thus ignoring an age-old Muslim prohibition for dhimmis to build any new places of worship."
