We Christians were not nice to Muslims and Jews after the Reconquista:
"During the Islamic administration, Christians and Jews were allowed to retain their religions by paying a tax (jizya). Penalty for not paying it was imprisonment. During the time of the Almoravids and especially the Almohads some were treated badly, in contrast to the policies of the earlier Umayyad Caliphs and later Emirs.
Moros y cristianos celebrated in many towns and cities of Spain, to commemorate the battles of Reconquista.
The new Christian hierarchy demanded heavy taxes from non-Christians and gave them rights, such as in the Treaty of Granada (1491) only for Moors in recently Islamic Granada. It expelled the Jews. In 1492 the Alhambra decree under Archbishop Hernando de Talavera dismissed the Treaty of Granada and now the Muslim population of Granada was forced to convert or be expelled. In 1502, Queen Isabella I declared conversion to Catholicism compulsory within the Kingdom of Castile. King Charles V did the same to Moors in the Kingdom of Aragon in 1526, forcing conversions of its Muslim population during the Revolt of the Germanies.] Despite the monarchs' wishes,many local officials took advantage of the situation to seize property."
Yes, most of us know the author of a book on the Inquisition.
So you planning to launch your own against the jews? Christians, muslims, nazi, palestinians.... without the jews there would be no christianity, no islam. Ironic
