"The Inquisition was a backlash against the Muslim invasion of Spain."

I disagree with you and can find nothing supporting your statement.

Can you tell me where you formed your opinion regarding the inquisition?

I was taught the inquisition (Spanish) was conducted by the Roman Church and targeted "heretics", namely those who refused to believe their salvation was regulated by strict adherence to the Roman Church of the time.

My own research and reading including Foxe's Book of Christian Martyrs clearly say nothing regarding muslims of the time.

I am not defending anything muslim I can't stand it that our media and POS obama refuse to call a spade a spade and acknowledge the barbarity and cruelty of islam, but again, I don't believe the inquisition had anything to do with Islam.

Are you seriously trying to say the Muslims did not take over Spain? If you look, you’ll notice that the Spanish Inquisition took place almost right after the Reconquista, and Muslims were ordered to either convert or leave Spain. The Churches that were converted to Mosques were made churches again and some mosques were converted into churches.
