And Jews, thousands of whom were murdered or forced out of Spain, despite living there for hundreds of years. Yes, the Moors actually treated the Jews better than the Reconquista Christians. The Reconquista was a disaster for Iberian Judaism.

FFS, are you suggesting the Inquisition was a good idea?. As a European, I am astounded.

The banishment of Islam happened all over Europe, beginning in the 11th century Italy.

I said nothing of the Reconquista or the Jews. It is totally irresponsible and without proportion to present a moral equivalence defense of Islamic conquests based upon a 16th century persecution of Iberian Jews by the Jesuits. It has no factual merit to counter the expulsion of Islam and is nothing less than simplistic demagoguery.

The repetitive expulsion of Islam from Western nations is based upon:
