The Inquisition courts followed very strict rules of procedure and evidence. They were very much concerned with the technicalities of Canon Law. They did not try people over whom they had no jurisdiction, and they had no jurisdiction over any non-baptized individual, Jew, Moslem, or pagan. Period. This is weaselry of the first magnitude. Jews were subjected to forced or coerced conversions. If they tried to maintain their Judaism in secret after their ostensible 'conversion', they were then subject to the Inquisition. If they did not convert, of course, they were often killed or expelled.

Other than that, ther are very few places and periods wherein Jews were being forcibly converted.
