Collaboration? The Golden Age was a time when Jews were tolerated to a greater extent under Islam than under Christianity. What exactly did the "Catholic Spaniards" not forget? That for a period of time the Muslims didn't force the Jews to convert or die the way the Catholics did? Your conclusions make zero sense.

How is throwing open the gates of the holy city of Toledo to the Moors during the invasion part of "tolerantly living under Islam" and not "collaboration with the invaders"?
