You are saying that the descendants of Spanish Arabs became the bulk of the population in Mexico after the Inquisition, I guess. I'm skeptical, but don't have the facts to argue with you at the moment.

BTW, I am starting to look at the Inquisition in a whole new light after considering the problem that the UK, France, and the NL have with so many Muslims in their midst.

In the first place, the Inquisition was the RCC practicing what so many here accuse the Muslims of.

In the second place, it was more about Jews and "Heretic" Christians than it was about Muslims, though they were targetted too.

Said Jews often found refuge among the Muslims.
