...even though it happened a decade before the Moors were expelled.

Do you have any idea how long the reconquista lasted? Do they teach that at the madrassa? Try 774 years. The Inquistion itself was an afterthought.

I'm not downplaying anything. What happened to Jews and Christian "heretics" during the Inquistion was disgusting.

Do you have any idea how long the Inquisition lasted? Do they teach that at the madrassa? That's one long "afterthought" and while your intellectual comrades were thinking up new ways to burn the stain of Christ's death from Spain's Jews, 200,000 of them left the country -- most to the Ottoman Empire or the Muslim kingdoms of North Africa.

In fact, Jews were illegal in Spain until 1858. You read that right: illegal. Punishible by death.

You might be able to sweep 340+ years of killing Jews under the rug, but the rest of this forum knows where your true sympathies lie. Once you take care of the "Friday people", killing the "Saturday people" isn't far away. Like you said, after a long and bitter struggle against Muslims, uprooting and murdering hundreds of thousands of Jews isn't too big of a moral leap to make.
