spain lived under muslim rule for a couple hundred years where all they heard was convert or die Or not. All they heard under Muslim rule was "live your life, everyone's good to go." You need to start reading something besides spurious websites.

But then you don't even recognize the Inquisition as a (admittedly extremist, but understandable in light of the situation) backlash to the actions of the Moors in Spain, so I wouldn't expect you to see that. I cry when I see a post like this. Gideon, I hate to say it, but you obviously know NOTHING of the Inquisition. I do. I am from Barcelona.

Hmm. I've been exploring this place for months, but I've finally registered for an account here at JoeUser. I don't know how it's going to go down, but I think it could be fun. Of course, my "welcome" article is going to be pointless, vacuous, and vapid. So there you go. Hopefully I'll be able to fit in here. -Courageous D
